An interesting opportunity to purchase a detached individual bungalow on the rural outskirts of Mablethorpe coastal resort with grounds of around 4acres (STS) comprising formal gardens with long driveway to a detached double garage at the rear and two agricultural paddocks with potential for a variety of uses in connection with tourism and leisure, equestrian pursuits, horticulture, hobby farm etc. (STP). The bungalow has light and airy accommodation with3 double bedrooms, ensuite shower room to bedroom 1, spacious family bathroom, large hallway, attractive lounge and dining-kitchen with utility-lobby off. Gas central heating system and uPVC double glazing. 

Directions From Louth, take the Legbourne Road and on the outskirts at the roundabout, take the first exit along the B1200 road. Follow this for several miles, keeping straight ahead at the Manby Middlegate traffic lights and then proceed into Saltfleetby. At the far end of the village turn right opposite The Prussian Queen, follow the lane round the left bend and at the junction, turn right onto the A1031 coast road. Follow the road to the eventual crossroads opposite The Cross Inn on the outskirts of Mablethorpe and turn right towards Maltby le Marsh. La Manga is then the first property on the right side.  

The Property This detached bungalow was constructed in 1990 in an open, rural position by virtue of planning permission to demolish a previous detached property, (Rose Cottage) and construct the replacement dwelling. The bungalow has brick-faced cavity walls beneath a pitched timber roof structure covered in concrete tiles. Heating is provided by a gas-fired central heating system and there is also a gas fire to the lounge fireplace. To the rear of the bungalow there is a good size detached double garage constructed with twin skin walls which are brick-faced externally, under a pitched timber roof structure covered in concrete tiles.  

Location The property is located on the rural fringe of Mablethorpe – a coastal resort with Blue Flag award winning beaches which are just one and a half miles from the bungalow. There are three local supermarkets and many privately run shops with a popular market on Thursdays. There are many cafes and restaurants, seaside fish and chip shops alongside other takeaways and a wealth of attractions for holidaymakers and residents alike. At the north end of the beach is the seal sanctuary. The local school has merged with schools in the market town of Louth, to create an academy group for education.

Outside The bungalow stands well back from the Alford Road and is approached over a long, tarmac driveway which branches to form a paved approach to the main entrance whilst continuing around the right side of the bungalow as a gravel driveway which then opens to form a good size parking and turning area at the rear.

Gardens and Land At the front of the property there is a large lawn with a shaped flower border to the driveway adjacent containing shrubbery and bedding plants, together with spring bulbs.

The cobble-effect flagstone paving extends along the front of the bungalow and leads to the side garden. On the other side of the driveway there is a gravelled area with mature trees, including an established Scots pine.

At the side of the bungalow there is a well-orientated patio enjoying the afternoon and evening sun with a high-level floodlight over and lawned garden continuing around the rear of the bungalow.

Dividing the garden from the adjoining land is a post and rail fence and hedges, together with a newly installed timber five-bar gate, allowing access from the rear garden into the field. Close to this there is a small timber summer house with canopy and trelliswork.

To the rear of the bungalow there are external gas and electricity meter cabinets, a sensor floodlight and an outside water tap. Concrete and flagstone pathways lead out from the rear door of the utility room. There is a gravelled rockery bed at the side extending to form further garden space to the right of the garage with trees at the rear. Beyond this, there is fencing to the larger grass paddock beyond.

The two paddocks, together with the grounds of the bungalow, total approximately 4.2 acres (subject to survey) and the land is presently agricultural with a field gate access from Alford Road and an opening between the two enclosures. Around the perimeter is a combination of fencing and mixed hedgerows.

The land has considerable potential for alternative uses, subject to planning permission being obtained, such as leisure use in particular due to the close proximity to the coastal resort of Mablethorpe. Alternatively a buyer may be interested in equestrian pursuits, horticulture or a hobby farm.
