House For Sale £539,950
Positioned in a particularly sought-after residential area on the west side of Louth town centre just a few yards from the Golf Club and the King Edward VI Grammar School, this surprisingly spacious family home has superbly proportioned living space, 4/5 double bedrooms, large garage with r/c motorized door and a large rear garden, across which the house and patios have fine views towards the Westgate and St Mary's Lane areas of town.

Go to the end of the road, turn left and then immediately right onto Crowtree Lane. Go past the King Edward VI grammar school on the left and continue until 64 is found on the right side.
The Property Constructed around 1964 in this very highly regarded residential location, the house has brick-faced principal walls under mainly pitched timber roof structures covered in "Rosemary" style roof tiles. Windows are uPVC framed double-glazed units and heating is by a gas central heating system, the boiler having been replaced around 2014/15. The original house was extended around 2013 and re-arranged internally, creating the spacious master bedroom suite and an impressive dining/living kitchen, with utility room and wet room off.
The house occupies a plot of generous proportions approaching one third of an acre (scaled from online mapping) and the rear windows command some lovely views over the western suburbs towards St Mary's Lane, with a backdrop of mature trees producing some beautiful Autumn colours. The split-level patio and seating areas also enjoy an elevated outlook across the large garden, with French doors and steps from both the dining and living areas.
The living areas are particularly light, airy and spacious with a versatile open-plan layout and an optional reception room or ground floor fifth double bedroom, whilst all the bedrooms are also light and superbly proportioned.
