House For Sale £250,000
Enjoying a semi-rural position away from the village centre with fields to front and rear, this characterful Period semi-detached cottage has a large rear garden with log cabin and store, together with a separate garage having potential for redevelopment (subject to planning). Three bedrooms, bathroom, shower room, spacious Murdoch Troon fitted living and dining kitchen, sitting room with stove and hallway. Oil central heating system, double-glazed windows and no chain.
Directions Proceed away from Louth on the Brackenborough Road and follow the lane to the village of Yarburgh. Turn left at the t-junction and then turn right along King Street. Again, follow the lane for several miles until arriving in Grainthorpe and then at the crossroads carry straight on along Church Lane. Follow the lane round to the left at the bend and continue until Romando is found on the right.
The Property Believed to date back to Victorian times, this brick-built semi-detached cottage has been enhanced, both visually and economically, by external insulation and oak cladding to the front elevation. The rear walls have also been timber panelled with a grey exterior paintwork finish and the roof is concrete tiled while the rear wings have flat roof sections. A particular feature is the spacious balcony accessed from the first-floor landing with an ornamental balustrade surrounding and ample space for al fresco dining, with some spectacular panoramic views over the garden and farmland which stretches away towards the coast.
Heating is by an oil central heating system with the boiler positioned externally and there is also a cast iron multi-fuel stove in the beamed sitting room. The large living/dining kitchen is a particular feature of this cottage with an extensive range of furniture by Murdoch Troon and appliances. The accommodation has a welcoming feel and viewing is recommended.
Adjacent to the neighbouring cottage on the south side, Romando has an old timber garage with a parking forecourt and the owners have commissioned initial drawings for a planning permission pre-application seeking a solid-built garage/annexe with studio or home office over. The proposed purchasers may wish to further investigate according to their own particular wishes. In addition, there is space to park on the gravel forecourt in front of the cottage.
