Tucked away on the sought-after Edward Street on Louth's west side, this impressive four-bedroom family home sits on a surprisingly generous plot, surrounded by mature gardens in a private setting. It also boasts extensive driveway parking and a rear garage. Inside, the property offers highly versatile living space, including a stunning sitting room-diner with an adjoining garden room. The adjacent breakfast kitchen features a rear pantry, complemented by two ground floor bedrooms and a shower room. Upstairs, there are two spacious bedrooms, a bathroom, and a dressing room. A versatile home ideal for a wide range of buyers, just a short stroll from the town centre-viewing is essential to appreciate all it offers.
The property is believed to date back to 1968, positioned in an elevated spot above the road hiding it from passers-by, with extensive front, side and rear gardens. The very generous plot provides parking for six or more vehicles plus garage and is ideally positioned close to the King Edward's grammar school and less than five minutes' walk to all shops and amenities. The property has a mixture of uPVC windows and timber-framed windows with secondary glazing, while heating is provided by a Glow Worm gas-fired boiler.
