The Rectory, Ruckland, Louth

A large 7 bedroom former Rectory standing with grounds of approx. 2.8 acres (stms) located in a stunning and secluded spot within the picturesque rolling hills of the Lincolnshire Wolds, a designated “Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.”

A rare opportunity to acquire a property in one of the most beautiful areas in Lincolnshire, particularly one offering spacious grounds and outbuildings with no near neighbours and such a wonderfully private setting.

Requiring a comprehensive scheme of modernisation, the property is ideal for someone who enjoys renovating, renewing and putting their own creative skills to full use to bring the Rectory back into the 21st Century. It is currently divided into two separate dwellings which comprise a large four-bedroom home to the front and a further three-bedroom cottage to the rear. The property offers fantastic potential possibilities for those seeking multi-generational living and can easily be re-configured into a large and impressive single residence or could be used to generate additional lettable income.
