Impressive five/six bedroom family house set on private elevated plot in the heart of this sought after market town.
This characterful property occupies a sizeable plot close to the centre of Louth, situated in an elevated but exceptionally private setting well enclosed by mature greenery. The detached property is believed to have been built in 1810 and has a wealth of period features characteristic to the late Georgian/early Regency period, including tall sash and multi-pane windows, picture rails, coving, exposed beams and original fireplaces. Most notable is the sweeping staircase which provides a focal point to the entrance hall. The house is decorated in a complementary style that's both traditional with modern touches, including the bathrooms and the kitchen which was updated a few years ago with a contemporary Howdens fitted kitchen. The handsome detached home has high ceilings and generous proportions throughout making it the perfect home for entertaining, with equally spacious grounds for dining outside in the warmer months.
The accommodation extends to over 3800sq ft across 2 floors together with a useful cellar. The welcoming entrance hall provides a striking first impression with its magnificent staircase rising up to a galleried landing on the first floor. From the entrance hall doors lead to a formal drawing room and separate dining room to either side with an archway leading to the family accommodation comprising a sitting room study kitchen with attached larder and pantry cloakroom/wc utility room and stores. Upstairs the attractive landing provides access to the bedrooms including a principal bedroom with en suite shower and fitted dressing room and three further good sized bedrooms one of which has been used as a childrens playroom. Adjoining this room there is a shower room and a lobby leading to two smaller doubles making it ideal childrens' accommodation.
The property has an elevated setting surrounded by mature hedging trees and wooden panel fencing. A sweeping gated gravel driveway leads up to the house. At the rear of the property there is a west facing garden room adjoining garage and patio area. The majority of the garden is situated to the front and south side of the house and is landscaped to include two lawns pergolas and a variety of herbaceous borders and flowering shrubs.

This has to be one of my favourite houses in Louth, a hidden gem, right in the middle of this wonderful market town but with no near neighbours and completely private
