2 bedroom detached bungalow for sale

Constructed during the early 1990's, this spacious, individual detached bungalow occupies a quiet location in the coastal village of Saltfleet, and has a detached garage, an attractive mature garden and former farmyard to the east, with a separate gated access, a number of outbuildings in need of renovation or replacement/removal, and total grounds of approximately 0.46 acre (STS). The property is for sale with NO CHAIN. NB the bungalow may be available to purchase without the farmyard by negotiation. 

Directions Proceed away from Louth on the Legbourne Road and continue to the roundabout at the start of the Louth bypass and take the first exit. Follow the B1200 road carrying straight on at the traffic lights in Manby and then for several miles through the village of Saltfleetby to the eventual T-junction with the A1031. Turn left here and follow the road into the village of Saltfleet. A short distance past The New Inn on the right side, look for the left turning into Pump Lane, take the turning and proceed down the hill until Green Lane Bungalow is found on the right side.  

The Property Constructed around 1993/4, this individual detached bungalow is traditionally built with brick-faced cavity walls under pitched roof structures covered in clay pantiles. The property has uPVC framed double-glazed windows and an oil central heating system together with a cast-iron stove to the feature lounge fireplace.

With a floor area of just under 1300 square feet the bungalow is easily the size of many 3-bedroom bungalows and the rooms are therefore an extremely good size. A driveway provides parking space for several cars and leads to the detached garage built with twin-skin walls of brick externally and block internally under a pitched pan tiled roof.

On the west side, the formal gardens are a delightful feature and orientated to enjoy the sun throughout the day. To the east is the former farmyard with separate field gate access and a range of outbuildings, many in tumbledown condition but left in place as the footprint may assist any planning application to replace these buildings. A brick and pan tiled building close to Pump Lane may be renovated if the purchaser desires.

The land affords the scope to create ancillary accommodation or outbuildings (subject to planning permission) and could interest a horticulturist, a buyer wishing to keep animals/ pony or create a small home farm, or an enthusiast with a hobby requiring outbuildings which could be built to suit.

The property is positioned along a small lane yet close to the village centre and facilities.  

Location Saltfleet is a village with a fascinating history from the time of the mediaeval salt making industry through to its importance as an east coast port for sailing vessels. There are some interesting character buildings in Saltfleet from bygone times including the restored and extended windmill (now a private residence) and the New Inn, one of two pubs in the village centre. There is a local garage with shop and the river Haven is now home to a small coastal boat club, winding out into the North Sea. The village is now a coastal holiday destination for many and is just 10 miles or so from Louth market town

From the driveway, a door by the garage opens into the former farmyard which extends the area of the plot in total to approximately 0.46 acre (STS) in total, and positioned within the farmyard is a range of tumble-down buildings and a further brick and pantiled outbuilding all in need of demolition/replacement or renovation. Please see the note under viewing below.

The farmyard is approached through a metal field gate and provides considerable potential for alternative uses, (possibly subject to planning permission) with particular scope for ancillary accommodation or more substantial outbuildings for hobby purposes. Alternatively, a buyer may wish to create a pony paddock with stable (for a) small pony. 

Overage (Farmyard only) An overage clause will be included in the contract for the farmyard only whereby the sellers and their beneficiaries will reserve a share of any uplift in value created by obtaining planning permission for separate residential or commercial units in the farmyard, for a period to be agreed from completion of the sale. The overage will not apply to the bungalow and its gardens, nor to planning permission for residential buildings which are ancillary to the main dwelling.

 

Viewing Strictly by prior appointment through the selling agent -the property has numerous surveillance cameras.  

NB Applicants viewing the property are warned not to enter the tumble-down outbuildings and if they do so, then they enter them at their own risk.
