Description

Rarely available, an enchanting early 18th Century former Rectory nestled in picturesque gardens and grounds.

A very rare opportunity to acquire an early 18th Century Gentleman's residence of great calibre and merit. Situated in the highly regarded village of Lockington surrounded by beautiful gardens and grounds extending to approximatley 4 acres, this former Rectory, with its rich history, has been a much loved family home for the current owners for the last 40 years, retaining many period features including the original shutters.

The property has been extended and remodelled over time to suit modern family life, with the latest addition being a fabulous garden room. Of particular note are the gardens, which surround the house, providing many different seating areas to enjoy. Beautifully tended and varied in habitat from woodland and stream to formal; the property has a peaceful ambience which will be enjoyed in all seasons.

Location - Situated in the picturesque East Yorkshire Wolds Village of Lockington and positioned next to St Mary's Church, this former Rectory has an enviable position overlooking open paddocks.

Lockington is a conservation village which is predominantly estate owned and is situated in an idyllic position lying between the A164 Beverley to Driffield and the B1248 Beverley to Malton roads, and as such is largely sheltered from through traffic. Having a thriving community with regular activities arranged around the village hall, Lockington also has its own primary school and in terms of hostelries, is well served by the Wellington Inn at neighbouring Lund and the Michelin starred Pipe & Glass at South Dalton. Beverley 7 miles, Driffield 8.5 miles, Kingston upon Hull 14 miles, York 27 miles.
