3 bedroom Detached house For Sale

Three-bedroom detached farmhouse in South Somercotes, near Louth. Spacious, with outbuildings, open views, ample parking. Habitable but needs renovation. Scope for modernisation and improvement.

This three-bedroom detached farmhouse is offered for sale and represents a generous home in South Somercotes, near Louth, with well-planned internal space, extensive outbuildings and far-reaching open field views to the rear. The property sits on a 0.35 acre plot and is in need of some renovations, but is currently more than habitable, and provides a solid base for buyers wishing to modernise to their own specification.

The ground floor accommodation includes a spacious lounge and dining room, each with fireplaces, creating two defined reception spaces that can be arranged for both everyday living and entertaining. A kitchen/diner sits at the heart of the home, fitted with a range of farmhouse style base units incorporating a double bowl sink unit and drainer with a brick inglenook fireplace incorporating an Aga-style oil cooker. This area provides ample space for a dining table and offers scope for a future reconfiguration or upgrade.

From the kitchen there is an enclosed staircase rising to the first-floor accommodation, together with a useful utility room and a large pantry, providing practical storage and flexibility for laundry and household items. To the rear of the property, a conservatory and porch area form the main day-to-day entrance, adding further usable space and a natural transition between the house and gardens.

On the first floor, there are three generous double bedrooms, offering well-proportioned sleeping accommodation each with windows overlooking surrounding fields with potential to create built-in storage or en-suite facilities, subject to any necessary consents. The family bathroom is fitted with a panelled bath with mains shower over, close coupled WC and wash hand basin. A large airing cupboard, housing the hot water cylinder, provides additional storage and assists with household linen.

Externally, the property stands on a deceptively spacious 0.35 acre plot with established gardens and open field views, giving a notable sense of space and privacy. There are large brick outbuildings, together with numerous stores and sheds in the garden, offering excellent scope for workshop space, hobby areas, general storage or potential alternative uses, subject to planning. Ample off-road parking is available in the form of two driveways, making it suitable for multiple vehicles or caravans/motorhomes.

The property is served by oil-fired central heating and benefits from owned solar panels mounted on the roof, which may assist in reducing electricity costs and improving energy efficiency relative to similar homes without solar provision.
