Location

The Lodge forms part of the former historic Lockington Hall Estate and enjoys a privileged position within the village.

Lockington lies on the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire borders and has become a quiet backwater enjoying the benefits of easy access to a range of transport links including junction 24 of the M1 motorway and the nearby link to the A50 across to Stoke and beyond. East Midlands Parkway station is just some 4 miles away with excellent connections to London and the South East. East Midlands International Airport is also some 4 miles away. The property is therefore superbly located for access to other parts of the UK but set within a delightful unspoilt historic village setting.
