Positioned in grounds of approximately half an acre (STS) within this sought-after village, a meticulously maintained individual detached bungalow of handsome design, with panoramic country views. Three double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, two refurbished bathrooms, refitted kitchen and utility room, newly built garden room, impressive lounge and separate dining room. Long driveway to detached brick and tiled double garage. Lovely gardens with greenhouse and shed. A 360 degree virtual tour is available on request.

Directions From Louth take the A16 north towards Grimsby and follow the road past Fotherby, through Utterby and onwards to North Thoresby. When approaching the village, ignore the first right turning and take the right turn immediately before the Halfway House Bar and Bistro. Follow the road into the village centre, go past the village square and follow the road where it branches left onto Station Road. Continue for some distance and Fairhaven will then be found on the right-hand side, a short way before leaving the village.

The Property Estimated to date back to the late 1980's, the bungalow has brick-faced principal walls beneath a pitched and hipped timber roof structure covered in concrete interlocking tiles and the attractive design incorporates two projecting gables to the front elevation, each with low maintenance, decorative cut brick and tile work to the verges. The property has an oil-fired central heating system with thermostatic radiator valves to many radiators and uPVC framed, double-glazed windows (of arch top design at the front) and external doors, partly fitted with diamond lattice panes. A generous-sized driveway leads to the detached double garage, also constructed in brick beneath a pitched and hipped timber roof structure covered in concrete tiles.

Since 2018, the kitchen and utility room have been re-fitted, some windows have been renewed and a washroom adjoining the master bedroom was refitted as a bathroom. The main bathroom was also fully refitted. An excellent garden room has been added at the rear - completed in 2019 with insulated base walls and a pitched and insulated Supalite hipped roof. This room takes advantage of the wonderful open views across the main garden and open fields.

The property has an alarm and now has superfast broadband.
