A 2 bedroom 2 storey town house built to the same energy performance specification as, and neighbouring, Hockerton Housing Project is available for rent. It is one of a terrace of five solar passive townhouses with shared solar PV and rainwater harvesting, and private gardens and parking spaces, complete with an electric car charging point. Residents also have access to amenity land maintained by the residents association and, by arrangement with the landlord there is access to woodland walks and to additional storage facilities.

The development is in the Nottinghamshire village of Hockerton, 1.5 miles from the market town of Southwell and 7 miles from Newark, with its 75 minute train link to London. The village has a pub and an active community spirit. It is in the catchment area for Lowes Wong Infant and Junior School and the Minster School. Southwell is a bustling historic town with a useful range of shops, two weekly markets, and regular festivals throughout the year.

Please contact us to be put in touch with the landlord.
