About
York House in the popular village of Old Leake presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period residence with outstanding potential.
Owned by the same family since the 1950s, this impressive period home, complete with an adjoining coach house and workshop, now comes to the market for the first time in many years and is offered with no onward chain.
Stepping inside is like going back in time.
From the characterful wallpapers, and elegant original staircase to the traditional windows and authentic detailing throughout, the property retains a wealth of historic charm.
Every room tells a story, offering a fascinating glimpse into its past while providing an exciting blank canvas for transformation.
Set within a mature plot approaching an acre, York House enjoys generous grounds that further enhance its development potential.
While the property now requires complete renovation, it offers an exceptional prospect for those seeking to restore and reimagine a truly special home in a sought-after village setting.
Due to the condition of the property, we are inviting offers from cash buyers only.
The village of Old Leake benefits from several amenities to suit all age groups to include both primary and secondary schools, community centre, a GP surgery, co-op and fish and chip shop as well as two pubs.
A bus stop at the end of the road provides a transport link between the historic market town of Boston with the East coastal resort of Skegness.
