Do you remember the Old Rectory at Claxby. I have written several posts about it, the first one was when I discovered it in 2013. In December it was sold at auction. I went for a viewing and took lots of photo's inside and outside. Today I have been back to see if any renovation work has started, and it has.
Luckily I got to meet the new owner. He was there doing some work on it.
All the ivy and foliage has been stripped away to reveal the beautiful house. I couldn't go around the back, it's a building site. The outbuildings have been knocked down as has the orangery.
The owner has a large family and I am pleased to say it will once again become a family home. There is a lot of work to be done. The owner is a builder by the way, and he has a good team behind him. At a guess I reckon it will take 6 - 12 months to complete it. I won't go back again. They have had a lot of people interested in it. I'm sure they would like some privacy now.
I had this message from a family member a couple of weeks ago. I am not on Instagram so I can't access it, and I don't particularly want to join.
Hello! My In-laws have just recently purchased the property. Restoration of the old rectory is fully underway to bring it back to life once again. I am documenting the process on instagram- therectoryrestoration_
It’s great to see the interest and hope you will follow along the process.

After Claxby I had a drive around and found an abandoned hotel. I'll put some pictures up tomorrow.
Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip. ilona
