Heating is provided by way of a Grant oil-fired boiler, providing heating to the main dwelling via an underfloor wet system with individual room thermostats. High speed internet connection.

The annexe and garden room are separately heated via individual modern electric panel heaters whilst drainage is to a shared treatment plant with the neighbouring property having shared liability.

The superb layout of the barns lends itself to merging families with the two bedroom annexe positioned adjacent the courtyard, however, could be and has previously been run for holiday let purposes with the further addition of the garden room creating further versatile options and potential for further holiday let unit/commercial use to be created if required, (subject to any necessary consents) which could make use of the separate front gated access.

Location Welton-le-Wold has for many years been a favoured village by property buyers due to the charming surrounding countryside in the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The village offers a peaceful way of life but is just 4 miles from Louth market town with its excellent range of shopping, educational and recreational facilities. The village has the Grade II Listed Church of St. Martin which dates from the 14th Century. The village was recorded in the 1086 Domesday Book as having 57 households.

The Wolds is a popular area for equestrians with numerous bridleways and there are some scenic walks onto the hills, very close to the property. The village name is associated with the stream running through the main area and a walk to the eastern fringes will reveal pathways leading to South Elkington and in turn to Louth.

The main business centres in the region are Lincoln (24 miles), Grimsby (18 miles) and Boston (33 miles) while the Humberside Airport is approximately 24 miles away.
