Directions

From Louth travel west from Westgate and out to the roundabout at the

bypass. Take the second exit along the A157 and then bear right at the

fork along the A631 towards Market Rasen. Follow the road for just over

one mile and then turn left immediately before the village post

office/shop along Church Lane. After the small group of properties on

the left side, take the acute left turn along the small private road and

Field Fare is then the second property on the left side.

The Property

Estimated to date back to the late 1970’s, this detached dormer

residence has brick-faced cavity walls beneath a main pitched concrete

tiled roof structure with inset flat, mineral felt roofed dormer with tile-

hung side panels. The original windows have been replaced with uPVC

double-glazed units and the property has an oil-fired central heating

system. The outbuildings are of timber construction.

The house has tremendous potential for improvement with scope for re-

arrangement of the interior incorporating the large roof void which has a

door access from the landing and possible extension of the main building

– the buyer may also wish to replace the stable outbuilding with a more

conventional garage building – all subject to obtaining planning and

building regulation consent as necessary. This potential is enhanced by

the unique location, views and scenic surroundings.
