Elm Drive, Louth LN11 0DQ

Positioned in a quiet, mature, residential area of Louth market town, this spacious semi-detached house is in need of modernisation. With great potential, the rooms include 3 first floor bedrooms and bathroom, hallway and landing, lounge, long dining kitchen and a dining or sitting room with patio door to the main garden. Immaculate front and rear gardens, the latter forming a sun trap for much of the day and gated drive for off street parking and access to the attached garage.

The Property Constructed during the 1960's to an excellent traditional design with spacious rooms, this semi-detached house has brick-faced cavity walls under a pitched timber roof structure covered in concrete tiles. The large, double-glazed windows give the rooms a light and airy feel. To the side is a single-storey brick built attached garage with brick piers, the rearmost area of which has been partitioned and panelled internally to form a second, sunny sitting or dining room with patio door onto the main garden.

The house has a gas central heating system and gas fire - both are working but applicants need to satisfy themselves regarding their ongoing use by taking specialist advice. The windows are double-glazed but some seals have broken down; fascias and soffits are in white uPVC.

Proceed to the next mini roundabout and take the second exit along Ramsgate Road and then take the third left turning into Victoria Road.
