Lock House
Four residences, over 5300 square feet of living space

The Main House

 

Lock House is only ¾ mile from the A605, yet secluded and peaceful. Located between Pilton and Achurch villages, you enter through electric gates and along a sweeping tarmac driveway (with parking for 10+ vehicles). An ancient Beech tree features in the centre of the drive.

Behind it, the deceptively spacious main house awaits. The home’s living room was originally the lock keeper’s cottage and later, part of the kitchen was used as a pumping station to take water from the river to a WWII US military hospital that was housed at the neighbouring Lilford Hall. Over time, the house has been significantly extended, improved upon and modernised.

 

Today, it offers five large bedrooms, several reception rooms, an option for ground floor living, modern amenities (including air conditioning, waste disposal system and hot tap in the kitchen), underfloor heating, exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, and is bursting with rustic charm.
