This individual detached country bungalow provides an amazing 2,800 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation, including a detached annexe, and is superbly located in an elevated position along a small, quiet "no-through" lane on the outskirts of Scamblesby, itself nestling in scenic countryside designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. With a generous size plot of almost one third acre (STS) and overlooking its own ¾ acre paddock (STS), the bungalow has extensive parking, car port and landscaped south gardens at the rear with timber outbuildings.  

Directions From St. James' church in Louth, travel south along Upgate, carry straight on at the traffic lights and proceed to the roundabout on the town outskirts. Take the second exit and after a short distance turn right. Follow the lane through the village of Tathwell to the eventual T-junction on a long bend and bear left along the A153 road.

Follow the road, go down Cawkwell Hill and on arriving in Scamblesby ignore the first left turn but then take the second left turn. Just after the primary school turn right along South Street, which then becomes Mill Lane, and follow the lane. At the sharp left bend bear right, keeping along Mill Lane (a "no-through" section of country lane) and continue until Danesgarth is found, elevated on the right side.  

The Property Constructed in the early 1990s, this deceptively large, detached country bungalow has brick-faced principal walls beneath a pitched and hipped main roof structure with a rear projecting gable, all covered in concrete interlocking tiles.

The bungalow has an oil central heating system and uPVC double-glazed windows, many of which have been renewed in recent times. The garden or sunroom features a double-glazed gable with sliding double patio door onto the south-facing rear garden. The latter has been professionally landscaped creating granite and ceramic-tiled seating and dining areas, raised beds and pathways with lawn beyond and timber garden outbuidings.

The original accommodation has been transformed by conversion and alteration to provide potentially eight bedrooms, (including annexe) or a combination of bedrooms and living/home working rooms. The former use could well interest a buyer looking to create a bed and breakfast venture, taking advantage of the setting and proximity to the Viking Way just along the lane. Alternatively, the layout will suit a large family with a semi-independent aspect offered by the detached annexe for an elderly relative or a teenager.

The bungalow has been significantly improved to include installation of a log-burning stove in the lounge, a new contemporary fitted kitchen, new ensuite shower room to the master bedroom, new spacious bathroom/wet room combined, Karndean flooring to the kitchen, lounge and dining room and sleek, modern Sharps bedroom furniture to the two rear bedrooms.

The annexe was formed by conversion of the original detached garage and also has brick-faced insulated main walls under a pitched concrete tiled roof. The window and French doors are uPVC-framed double-glazed units and heating is by electric Rointe wi-fi programmable units.

In addition to the generous sized plot, the bungalow owns the grass paddock on the opposite side of the lane providing potential to keep a pony, carry out some horticultural activities or develop a small hobby farm subject to any planning permission which may be required. At present, there is a range of high-quality childrens'recreational structures set into a soft playing surface and these will be included in the sale.  

Location Most of the Lincolnshire Wolds was designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in 1973 following considerable local campaigning. This designation means thst the landscape is some of Britain's finest countryside. It is a living, working landscape, with woodland, grassland and abandoned chalk pits providing important habitats for rare flowers and wildlife.

The Lincolnshire Wolds lie in the north-eastern quarter of the county of Lincolnshire, mid-way between Lincoln and the coast, surrounded by the relatively flat fens, coastal marsh and the Lincoln Clay Vale. The Wolds is the highest land in eastern England between Kent and Yorkshire – there are fine views to the Pennines in the west, and the coast to the east. The AONB comprises an area of 558 km² (216 miles²), while the wider Lincolnshire Wolds Character/Natural Area incorporates the two neighbouring areas of the 'Spilsby Crescent' to the south and the remaining chalk uplands to the north.

Scamblesby is positioned in the heart of the Wolds, approximately equidistant at 8 miles from the market towns of Louth and Horncastle, whilst Market Rasen is around 18 miles. Lincoln is about 25 miles away. The village has a primary school of excellent repute while the market towns above provide a diverse range of shopping, leisure and sporting facilities and a choice of educational facilities including highly regarded grammar schools and academies.

National Hunt Racing takes place at Market Rasen and the area is generally popular with equestrians, tourists, motor sports and vintage car fanatics drawn to nearby Cadwell Park. The coast is around 18 miles from the village at its nearest point.
