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.

A walk-through archway leads from the driveway into the rear garden

the rear boundary and by many established ornamental shrubs set into
beds and borders. The oil storage tank on piers is located to the rear of
the house and there is a timber-built summer house.
