House For Sale £400,000
An individual and well-appointed, detached bungalow occupying an attractive position within the village of Covenham St. Mary and standing in large, mature gardens mainly positioned at the rear, taking advantage of a warm, sunny aspect throughout the day.
The property has previously been extended to provide deceptively spacious two-bedroom accommodation now exceeding the floor area of many three-bedroomed properties.
Directions From Louth take the A16 road north and continue past the village of Fotherby and then, upon entering Utterby take the first right turning into Ings Lane. Follow the lane to its eventual conclusion and then bear left towards Covenham. Upon entering the village ignore the first right turning, go into the s-bends and take the first right turning on a sharp left bend along Newbridge Lane. Continue towards the first right bend and Karinya is the last property on the right side before reaching this bend, standing in an elevated position above the lane with the name plate clearly visible on the wall to the left of the driveway entrance.
The Property We estimate this detached bungalow to have been constructed during the 1990's. The property has brick-faced principal walls beneath a pitched timber roof structure covered in concrete interlocking tiles. The windows are uPVC mahogany-effect, double-glazed units while heating is by an oil-fired combination central heating boiler and there is also a security alarm system. In more recent years, with the benefit of planning permission the bungalow has been extended to create a larger garage at the front, increase the size of the master bedroom and enlarge the utility room.
A glance at the floor plans will indicate that this is a much larger than average two-bedroom bungalow with beautifully proportioned rooms and a very impressive garden room to the rear, constructed as a conservatory but now having solid panelled roof sections to better regulate the internal temperature. Viewing is very strongly recommended.

Location The popular village of Covenham is separated into two areas corresponding to the Grade II Listed churches of St. Bartholomew and St. Mary, the latter located to the south and all set in an area of attractive countryside just to the east of the Lincolnshire Wolds. The village is set away from the A16 road though within easy reach and thereby ideal for commuting to the market town of Louth, approximately five miles to the south, or the large business centre of Grimsby which is about 11 miles to the north. Covenham has a Grade II Listed restaurant, The Millhouse and to the north of the village is the Covenham Reservoir which appeals to walkers and provides a venue for watersports.
Louth is a bustling market town with a range of individual shops, three markets each week and strong secondary schools including the King Edward VI grammar school, (each with specialist status). The town has a golf course, cinema, theatre, attractive parks, a recently completed sports and swimming complex and the Kenwick Park leisure centre on the outskirts.
General Information The particulars of this property are intended to give a fair and substantially correct overall description for the guidance of intending purchasers. No responsibility is to be assumed for individual items. No appliances have been tested. Fixtures, fittings, carpets and curtains are excluded unless otherwise stated. Plans/Maps are not to specific scale, are based on information supplied and subject to verification by a solicitor at sale stage. We are advised that the property is connected to mains electricity, water and drainage but no utility searches have been carried out to confirm at this stage. The property is in Council Tax band D.
