House For Sale £130,000
A semi-detached country cottage positioned directly adjacent to the A16 in a larger than average plot of around 0.59 acre (STS) with vehicular access and scope to create ample off-road parking together with large gardens (STP). Two first floor double bedrooms, boxroom/nursery, lounge with fireplace, kitchen, bathroom and hallway. Oil central heating system and double-glazed windows. The property is currently let on periodic tenancy. Elevated position on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds AONB.

The turn right and cross the rear garden of number 2 cottage (see the aerial image showing the right of way into 1 Farm Cottage).
The Property We estimate that this semi-detached farm cottage may date back to late Victorian times. The principal walls are part rendered and part brick faced beneath pitched concrete tiled roofs. The windows are now uPVC double glazed units and heating is provided by an oil central heating system and an open fire. The cottage stands in grounds of around 0.59 acre (subject to survey) to include gardens at the front, side and mainly to the rear, together with additional land on the south side. This has potential for landscaping as a large garden or provides space for additional parking and/or the construction of outbuildings (subject to planning permission).
Vehicular and pedestrian access is via a right of way across the grounds of neighbouring Farm Cottage 2 from the A16 via the private roadway to the micronizing plant in the distance (See image on the penultimate page showing the approximate intended positioning of the right of way).
