Tacey’s Farm, Willerton Road, North Somercotes, Louth, Lincolnshire LN11 7NH
Ripe for renovation with great potential, this
detached cottage has grounds extending to 1.95
acres (subject to survey) comprising garden, two
areas of arable land and outbuildings including a
substantial brick-built garage/store providing
scope to live and work from home (STP).
Directions and Location
Entering North Somercotes on the A1031 coast road from the north, go
past the Axe and Cleaver public house at the crossroads and proceed
into the centre of the village. Turn left opposite the Trinity Methodist
church into Churchill Lane and follow the road until the turning into
Willerton Road is found on the right. Take this turning and continue to
the end of the road. At this point an unmade lane leads both left and
right. Take the left branch and after a few yards Tacey’s Farm will be
found on the right side.
North Somercotes is a larger than average country village which has a
range of services including primary and secondary schools, small shops
and cafes, two local pubs and a picturesque fishing lake with café
backing onto a pine forest. The coastal area of Lincolnshire is ideal for
walking, riding, bird watchers and wildlife enthusiasts. Louth market
town is approximately ten miles away inland and has an excellent range
of shopping, schooling and recreational facilities. Main business centres
are in Grimsby (18 miles) and Lincoln (38 miles).
The Property
This detached cottage is estimated to date back to Victorian times and is
of solid brick construction beneath a principle pitched timber roof
structure which is covered in concrete interlocking tiles. The property
requires a scheme of renovation and modernisation but already has
mainly replacement uPVC- framed, double-glazed windows. Adjacent to
the cottage is a useful and versatile outbuilding substantially constructed
in brick with large double-door access and a pitched roof structure
covered in metal profile sheets. In addition, there are a number of older
outbuildings. The property and land provide scope for a variety of uses
including equestrian, horticultural or hobby farm (stp).
