This versatile, spacious family home is set on a plot of over a quarter of an acre (STS) with stunning views across the Lincolnshire Wolds countryside, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Extending to around 2,500 sq. ft., the property features five generous reception rooms, including a lounge, sitting room, dining room, garden room, study, and games room/Bedroom 5, plus a stylish kitchen and utility room. Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms, including a master bedroom with en suite, and a family bathroom. Externally, the property offers private gardens, ample parking for at least 6 cars, and a garage. The games room presents potential for an annexe, bedroom or holiday let use, with approved planning for further extension. Located on a quiet, no-through road, the property is ideally positioned between Louth and Market Rasen. It is less than 20 minutes' drive from 3 of the county's Grammar schools including the highest rated Caistor Grammar School.
Directions Proceed out of Louth along Westgate and continue to the roundabout on the outskirts. Take the second exit and after a short distance, at the fork in the road bear left along the A157. Follow the road for around 6 miles to the village of Burgh on-Bain and on arriving at the village, take the first left turning into Mill Lane. Proceed down the lane and the property will be towards the end on the left.
The Property The property is believed to date back to the 1980s and has brick-faced cavity wall construction with pitched timber roof covered in interlocking tiles. The property later had alterations to include conversion of the former integrated double garage to create the superb ground floor games room and also having the additional garden room and porch, plus detached garage added at the same time, which was completed around 2011. As part of the same application, planning is fixed in place to create a first-floor extension with dormer windows, to create a superb lounge to the rear aspect with a balcony overlooking the beautiful Wolds countryside, together with a further large master bedroom suite with dressing room and bathroom which the purchaser will be able to carry out, should they choose to do so. (Copy of the plans available from the selling agent on request). Heating is provided by an LPG-fired Vokera boiler with storage tank situated in the garden and the property benefits from having owned photovoltaic solar panels, with a feedback tariff providing income and lower running costs for the property. The majority of the rooms are heated by radiators with the games room, garden room and kitchen also having underfloor electric heating, with the garden room having an air conditioning unit in addition. The property is incredibly spacious and having 5/6 reception rooms lends itself to possible annexe set up for merging families, fifth bedroom or use as a holiday let (subject to planning).
