Mockingbird Suffers Paranoia Here!
Never have I ever ventured somewhere, which puts me in a state of constantly looking over my shoulder, this place does just that, downstairs its completely dark so dodgy light painting is needed on my behalf, most of the rooms downstairs are rather empty but have a creepy atmosphere to them, this place (despite being excited to visit) - shameful I know!!! left me with huge amounts of paranoia while inside, if it wasn't those pigeons fluttering from room to room, it was the maze of bedrooms upstairs which left me confused, confused to the point I often thought someone was upstairs moving stuff about from room to room...
Anyway creepy factor gone, this place was rather enjoyable despite that, its a beautiful place with the red/green leafs outside clashing with colour, the rooms suffering badly from vandalism, its a shame as a property like this could be easily used again, I found Heckington manor rather classy well you could imagine it being slightly classy in its better days, just a shame I missed the boat on this when it first appeared, as you can imagine how beautiful it was inside, while venturing around with torch light.
Anyway its good to tick it off the list, on my recent visits to places pottering about, I will say upstairs is certainly more photogenic than a noob like me with a camera trying to light paint downstairs but basically turning it into a mini disco with my buddies!
oh well only upwards from here folks!
Some history below!
Heckington Manor was built in the 18th century, in the 1980's the Manor was refurbished into a private practice for alcoholism treatment. Heckington Manor or Ferdowse Clinic as its now know is set in 2 acres near Sleaford has treated up to 2,000 people since it was set up 15 odd years ago. it closed in 2003, Tom Edwards had a drinking problem for 30 years before coming to the clinic, it cost him his career in the televison industry, When it was closed the asking price was 1.4 million, it was being sold at £900.000 sometime ago.
