Kents Farm set in just under 11 acres in an countryside setting near Louth, offering opportunity to acquire a bungalow, 2 converted red brick buildings now in use as holiday accommodation and a versatile range of outbuildings with significant lifestyle and redevelopment potential.
The bungalow is now in need of modernisation and improvement throughout, providing purchasers with the opportunity to refurbish and create a substantial country home tailored to their own tastes and requirements.
In addition to the main dwelling, the property includes two holiday cottages, which may offer potential for visitor accommodation, ancillary family use or other future uses, subject to any necessary consents and further improvement works.
The wider holding extends to just under 11 acres and includes a useful range of outbuildings suitable for storage, workshop space, hobby farming, equestrian interests or other rural pursuits.
The property formerly operated a five-pitch caravan site, however this use has now ceased and the site has been closed. Parts of the grounds and former caravan area would benefit from general improvement, offering purchasers the opportunity to reorganise and enhance the setting to suit their own requirements.
Kents Farm is within convenient reach of Louth, a Lincolnshire market town offering a wide range of shops, supermarkets, schools, healthcare facilities, restaurants and leisure amenities.
