Peacefully located on the southern fringe of this popular Lincolnshire Wolds village and standing in grounds of 3.5 acres (subject to survey), this smart detached, four bedroom family house has a superb open plan kitchen-diner and vaulted garden room overlooking the privately owned paddock beyond and a range of outbuildings comprising stables, garage/workshop, stores and two superb centrally heated ensuite bed and breakfast rooms which have provided a lucrative income in the first year of operation. There is considerable further live/work potential with scope for additional conversions (STP) 

Directions From Louth take the Horncastle Road then carry straight on over the Louth bypass along the A153 towards Horncastle. Drop down steep Cawkwell Hill and just after passing the two left turns to Scamblesby, take the right turn signposted Asterby, Goulceby, Stenigot and Donington, (Ranyard Lane). Follow the lane, passing the right turn and at the T-junction turn right. As you drop down the hill towards Goulceby, look for The Beeches standing back on the right side.  

Location The village of Goulceby nestles in the centre of the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and contains a variety of individual properties with a local country pub - The Three Horseshoes, just a short walk from the property. The village is well located for travelling to three market towns with Louth some 8.5 miles distant, Market Rasen around 14 miles away and Horncastle, some 7 miles away.

Louth is known as the capital of the Wolds and has a superb central conservation area with a variety of individual shops, supermarkets, theatre, cinema, many sports facilities and attractive parks. Market Rasen has rail links to the national network and is known for the National Hunt racecourse. Horncastle is particularly popular with collectors for the many antique shops and bric-a-brac stores. The main business centres are in Lincoln, Grimsby and Boston.

The neighbouring village of Donington-on-Bain is just a short drive from Goulceby and has a village post office/shop, a second general purpose shop, a public house (The Black Horse) with restaurant and the Viking Way passes through the villages of Donington-on-Bain and Goulceby.  

The Property Constructed in 1996, this well presented, detached family house has been designed in traditional Lincolnshire farmhouse style and has brick-faced cavity walls beneath pitched timber roof structures covered in clay pantiles. The principal windows are of modern double-glazed, sash style with a uPVC coating and the design allows for inward tilting of the panes for easy cleaning of the exterior. Heating is provided by an oil-fired central heating system, the heart of which is a Rayburn cooking range with central heating boiler.

An extremely impressive garden room was constructed around 2002 annexed to the dining kitchen and creating a contemporary open plan living, dining and kitchen space of very generous proportions with a magnificent, vaulted ceiling to the extension incorporating skylight windows, oak-framed windows from floor level with French doors and fine views across the gardens towards the owned fenced paddock beyond. This room is also heated by a Clearview stove positioned in the corner. The lounge is a very well-proportioned room and also has a fireplace with a multi-fuel Hunter stove.

There is an excellent range of outbuildings which have been partially converted to a very fine standard by the present owners to create two immaculate ensuite bed and breakfast rooms with a separate oil-fired central heating system having wi-fi control and available for extension into the remainder of this building should the purchaser wish to carry out further conversion works and create a holiday cottage, additional bed and breakfast rooms or indeed, an annexe to the main house (STP). At present, the outbuildings are of single and two storey design in a U-shaped configuration enclosing a courtyard and comprise the bed and breakfast rooms, a large garage/workshop which incorporates a former forge, a dining room for visiting guests, stables, including foaling stable and a log store.

The property stands in a beautiful, mature rural setting with some fine views over the surrounding Wolds countryside and the main windows overlook a south-facing garden with a long, ample driveway opening to form spacious turning and parking areas around the house and outbuildings.

The land affords considerable alternative potential uses (STP) for further leisure use, or would interest an equestrian or horticultural enthusiast.

Greenhouse: An excellent quality metal-framed green house with a green uPVC coating and measuring 3.7m x 2.48m. 

Gardens and Land The house is largely screened from the lane behind hedges and trees along the front boundary. The main approach is through a splayed driveway entrance with white picket fencing on each side displaying twin name plates and a 5 bar timber gate. A long-gravelled driveway leads towards the outbuildings and branches left to the house with ample parking space, or right to the south side of the stable block, again with extensive parking and turning space. There are paved hardstanding areas and access from the drive into the garage/workshop. To the north end of the front hedge there is an additional 5-bar gate into the main garden of the house.

The formal gardens are a delightful feature with extensive lawns to the front side and rear enjoying sunshine at different times of the day. To the rear, the lawns are planted with drifts of spring snowdrops and daffodils with banks down on the north boundary to a small beck. The gardens are interspersed with mature trees, shrubs and bushes to include pear, apple, damson, mulberry and cherry. Beyond the garden is the grass paddock with post and rail fence surrounding, and a pathway to the northern fringe leading to a wooded area beyond the paddock with a series of cascading ponds beneath the trees.

There is a country footpath crossing the paddock via stiles and then leading round the southern edge of the entrance drive to the lane, though the owners have found this to be seldom used.

Just to the south of this there is a tree-lined pond with bridge to an island and views over grassland stretching away to the south.

A very attractive patio area has been formed to the south and east sides of the house with flagstone steps walled with pillars and finials, from the parking area down to the side entrances and pathway leading across to the main front porch. A perfect area for patio furniture or dining outside and bordered by well stocked shrubbery and raised flower beds.

Further paved outside seating areas by the holiday rooms and several outside lights and water taps positioned around the buildings.
