Secluded gardens and shared drive to parking spaces and carport. No chain
Directions Travel through the centre of Louth along Mercer Row which leads into Eastgate, carry straight on at the two mini-roundabouts and then follow the road. Number 264 is set back on the right immediately before the Holy Trinity Church with the shared driveway pillars numbered 264 on the left and 262 on the right.
The Property This individual character home is unseen from Eastgate as it stands back some 160ft behind a long front garden with parking area. The house is estimated to date back to the late 1800's and is of solid brick construction beneath a pitched timber principal roof structure covered in concrete interlocking tiles. The property was extended at two-storey level to the rear in 2008 with brick-faced walls and complementary tiled roof and there is a feature garden room on the south side flooded with light via a patio door onto the courtyard and a large, glazed lantern set into the roof.
The resulting accommodation is surprisingly spacious and versatile, enjoying an atmosphere which combines elegant character with contemporary fittings to the kitchen, bathroom and cloakroom. The windows are mainly double-glazed, and heating is by a gas central heating system supplemented by fireplaces, each having a recent stainless steel flue liner and one fitted with gas fire.
