The White Owl Hideaway, Little Crowtree Lane, Louth, Lincolnshire LN11 0QP

A very rare opportunity to acquire a

unique architect designed contemporary

bungalow with superbly arranged two-

bedroom accommodation, mature

enclosed gardens, courtyard, and ample

parking, all located in a special, sought-

after location just a few paces from the

scenic parkland of Westgate Fields and

Hubbards Hills.

Directions

From St James’ Church travel south along Upgate and turn

right immediately after the zebra crossing along Gospelgate.

At the end of the road turn left and immediately right along

Crowtree Lane. Continue for some distance passing Westgate

Fields on the right and then take the small left turn into Little

Crowtree Lane. The property is then just a short way along on

the left side.

The Property

This intriguing and thoughtfully designed, highly individual

bungalow was constructed approximately 10 years ago and

has brick faced exterior walls with flowing curves which are

mirrored by a slender sloping roof structure with a Uginox roof

covering. Heating is provided by a gas fired central heating

system with a condensing combination boiler.

Internal doors are 6-panelled and finished in oak, while the

windows are double glazed and contemporary in style, some

extending from floor level within the rooms. The external

appearance belies the feeling of space within as the rooms

have surprisingly high vaulted ceilings in contrast with the low,

understated elevations when the property is viewed from

Little Crowtree Lane.

Designed for this plot, the shape and position of the bungalow

create a sun trap courtyard at the side, enveloped by the living

rooms and hallways with French doors from both reception

rooms. There is a gravelled parking forecourt of very generous

proportions and a lawned garden to the rear with a timber

garden shed.

Situation

The setting equals the property in terms of unique appeal.

Positioned in a quiet, established and very sought-after

residential area, Little Crowtree Lane is a small no-through lane

close to the Louth Golf Club and just a few yards from the

scenic parkland of Westgate Fields. Crowtree Lane itself

culminates in a local landmark, a park known as Hubbards Hills

with high grass banks, woodland and the River Lud winding

through.

comprise an attractive lawn to the rear with gravel borders

for tubs and pots, a long courtyard finished in block paving

and orientated for the sun with a brick-walled, raised

flower bed adjacent and screen fencing on either side of
