House For Sale £350,000
Directions Proceed away from Louth on the Legbourne Road and at the roundabout take the first exit along the B1200 toward the coast. Follow the road to the Manby Middlegate traffic lights and turn right along Carlton Road. Grange Lane is the first lane on the left side and the cottage will be found at the end of this lane on the right-hand side, just before the entrance to the adjoining farm.
The Property Believed to date back to the mid 1600's, this charming, detached country cottage has rendered and colour-washed walls in subtle lilac tones, and thought to be mainly of brick construction beneath a pitched timber roof structure newly covered in Hungarian reed thatch in 2020. Heating is provided by a modern lpg combination central heating boiler which is controlled via a digital remote controller and in addition there is a multi-fuel stove to the fireplace in the sitting room. Most of the windows have been replaced with new cream coloured uPVC double-glazed units, having square leaded lights.
The interior has been greatly enhanced by the installation of a stylish new fitted kitchen with appliances and breakfast bar, a newly installed bathroom and ensuite shower room to the ground floor bedroom, each having a white suite and metro-style ceramic tiled walls.
The property stands in surprisingly spacious grounds with garden positioned to the rear and potential for further residential development, subject to obtaining planning permission. There is presently a driveway to the left side of the cottage when viewed from the lane but the scope to create an additional vehicular opening and driveway to the right side if a purchaser so chooses, subject to obtaining any necessary consents from the local authorities.
