Directions
From Louth follow the A16 road south for several miles and in
the village of Burwell take the only left turn and follow the
lane for some distance over the Wolds to the eventual
crossroads. Carry straight on towards Authorpe, and at the
bottom of the slope after the farm on the right take the first
right turning towards Claythorpe. After some distance, take
the first left turning and follow the small lane to its conclusion
where the property will be found on the right side, as the lane
becomes a bridleway.
The Property
We estimate that the original semi-detached cottage dates
back to the late 1800’s/early 1900’s and is of solid brick
construction whilst the substantial extension which was
added at two storey level to the side and single storey level to
the rear appears to have been constructed around 2010 with
brick-faced cavity walls complementing the original and the
whole building having a pitched timber roof structure with
concrete interlocking tile covering. In keeping with the
nature of the surroundings, the windows are mainly timber
framed with double-glazed panes and the property has an oil-
fired combination central heating boiler. In addition the
interior benefits from four double-glazed skylight windows in
the living kitchen and a similar skylight window in the
bathroom. Vertical louvre blinds will be included in the sale
where fitted.
