Superbly positioned in a tree-lined plot of 1/3 of an acre (subject to survey) and approached over a long, sweeping gated driveway, this greatly improved, three double bedroomed detached bungalow enjoys a peaceful setting on the rural outskirts of Little Cawthorpe – a particularly sought-after Lincolnshire Wolds village just three miles from the centre of Louth market town and known for the Royal Oak Inn ("The Splash") by the village ford and the picturesque river-fed duckpond by the church - just a few yards from this property.
Directions Proceed away from Louth along the Legbourne Road, go past the Louth Garden centre on the left and at the roundabout, take the second exit along the A157. Continue for a short distance and take the first right turn towards Little Cawthorpe. Follow the long, straight lane, bear right at the bend and proceed up the hill. Bear left around the bend and continue until the right turning to Haugham Pastures. Take this turning and after just a few yards, the entrance to Bargate will be found on the right side.
About the Property Constructed during the 1970s, Bargate has brick-faced, insulated cavity walls under a pitched timber roof covered in concrete tiles. The windows are uPVC framed, double-glazed units in white with complementary fascias and soffit boards to the eaves. A new mains gas central heating system has been installed with a condensing combination boiler and a new cast iron, log-burning stove installed to the lounge fireplace.
A combination of lvt flooring and carpets has been fitted, walls have been re-plastered and decorated in white, creating bright rooms flooded with light. The dining kitchen has a newly fitted range of units in contemporary light matt grey with integrated appliances and there is a newly-fitted bathroom with white suite including a bath and shower cubicle. A new ensuite washroom has also been formed to the main bedroom.
The hallway is spacious and fitted with an extensive range of built-in storage cupboards. A practical utility kitchen has a cloaks/WC off and access to the attached garage and to a side patio adjacent. The garage has potential for conversion and space for a staircase to enable a roof conversion if of interest to the buyer/s (all STP). In addition, there is a sectional garden implement and mower store.
The gardens are a lovely feature of the bungalow and an excellent size with an ample parking area, a productive greenhouse and sleeper-lined raised vegetable beds, in addition to paved seating areas to the front, side and rear. In all, this is a rare opportunity in a prime rural village location.

Outside From the country lane, Bargate is approached through a red and blue brick pillared entrance with attractive wrought-iron double gates designed with shaped arches and scrolls, onto a long driveway leading across the front garden. At the side of the entrance on the grass bank, there is an old-fashioned streetlamp.
The driveway opens to form a spacious parking and turning area extended by crazy paving which leads to the main front entrance into the bungalow, with access from the parking area to the attached garage and an electric car-charging point adjacent. Beyond the end of the drive, there is a storage area under the trees and a pathway with a millstone inset, to a brick arch with wrought-iron gate having dog-proof mesh into the side and rear gardens (this rear garden area has dog/deer proof fencing around the perimeter.)
The crazy paving at the front of the bungalow continues as a pathway leading to the side and there are two floodlights to the eaves. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn and of excellent size with close-boarded fencing to much of the front boundary and hedgerow to part. Inside the fencing there are ornamental trees, shrubs and bushes. The front windows of the bungalow look out across the lawns to a backdrop of trees beyond the boundary while the gable bay window of the lounge and the window of bedroom 2 look out to a stand of mature trees inside the boundary, which has a post and rail fence to the open field beyond. Adjoining the garage is a useful:
Garden Store and Mower Shed a concrete sectional building sub-divided by a partition and connecting door with a front up and over door into the mower store; the garden store has a bench, power points, light and a ledged and braced door onto the side patio area and rear garden beyond.
Gardens cont'd At the side of the bungalow close to the side elevation there is a sheltered and enclosed flagstone and block-paved patio with brick and ornamental block walls on two sides, flower bed and tall "soldier" conifer bushes to the third side. High level floodlight, bin storage area and a glance at this gable shows a high-level window allowing natural light into the roof void.
A side pathway leads into the rear garden – again an excellent size and laid to lawn, bisected by flagstone pathways and surrounding a newly laid sandstone paved patio by the conservatory.
The photograph of the Timber-framed Greenhouse clearly shows that this is highly productive with beds on either side of a central access and opening side and skylight windows.
The garden is enclosed by mixed hedgerows and a pathway leads to the raised vegetable growing beds with timber sleeper framework. Further floodlight, outside tap and ornamental tree where the lawn tapers by the conservatory.
