Large new house near Ashley <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1921150">TL6962 : New construction near Ashley</a> shows this under construction the previous year. Although houses this size exist, it is generally unusually to see them newly constructed. However, with all the wealthy people (often from the Middle East) associated with the horse-racing industry centred on nearby Newmarket, this is not the only such home to have been built in this area recently.
