Description
Directions Proceed out of Louth along Westgate and continue to the roundabout on the outskirts. Take the second exit and after a short distance, at the fork in the road bear left along the A157. Follow the road for around 6 miles to the village of Burgh-on-Bain and on arriving at the village, take the first left turn into Mill Lane. Proceed for just a short distance and then Highfield will be found on the right.
About the Property..... Standing well back from the lane with a long driveway approach, Highfield dates back to around 1995. The house has brick-faced cavity walls beneath a pitched and hipped timber roof structure covered in concrete tiles with matching roof over the side single storey wing which now provides a ground floor versatile bedroom/home office and a garage. The main house is of full two-storey height, but the roof has two feature gables on the front elevation.
The windows are uPVC double glazed with a cream-coloured finish and the soffits and fascia boards are also uPVC for easy maintenance. Heating is by an oil central heating system and the boiler is serviced annually. In addition, there is a woodburning stove in the lounge. Both the seating area of the kitchen and the lounge have timber framed double-glazed French doors onto an impressive spacious rear patio extending across the rear of the house and perfectly orientated for afternoon and evening sun.
The accommodation is well arranged and decorated in neutral contemporary colours with solid oak and ceramic tiling to the ground floor living rooms. The windows on the front and rear elevations take advantage of some lovely views across the grounds and at the front, through the trees toward the Wolds countryside beyond. The stone-built village church is just a few yards away with a large clock to the tower.

Outside From Mill Lane, the property is entered through a wide 5-bar gate with substantial timber pillars, over a long block-paved driveway, widening towards the house with additional gravelled parking space allowing ample room for several vehicles. The drive also gives access to the:
Attached Garage With up-and-over door at the front, LED strip light, power point and connecting door to the adjoining bedroom 5/home office. The outer walls are of cavity construction and the ceiling is plastered - this garage could therefore also be converted to accommodation as was the adjoining room, subject to any necessary consents.
Gardens The house stands well back from the lane behind a large front garden which is principally laid to lawn behind a mixed hedgerow and mature trees with shrubbery by the drive. Block paving continues around the veranda-porch to form a seating area with timber sleeper walls retaining box hedges before continuing around the side of the house where there is a timber Garden Shed.
To the right of the garage there is a lawned garden and modern oil storage tank on concrete base. Screen fencing and door beyond, opening into the main rear garden. This is an excellent size and orientated to enjoy afternoon and evening sun.
There is a large lawn and a superb, spacious Indian Sandstone patio in a gravelled surround for flowerpots and tubs - an ideal space for alfresco dining, patio seating and other garden furniture. Timber sleeper walls retain the lawn and shrubbery raised beds with wide centre steps up.
The garden is enclosed by hedges and fencing with an upper seating area from which there are views of the church tower and clock. There are numerous ornamental trees, shrubs and bushes. Timber fencing screens a gravelled storage area to the rear of the garage, with timber shed, log store and space to conceal wheelie bins from the formal garden.
There are outside rear bulkhead lights, two wall lanterns by the patio and a floodlight at the front of the house, illuminating the approach. External electricity meter cabinet and outside taps to front and rear.
Location Burgh-on-Bain is positioned in the scenic Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding natural Beauty and approximately equidistant at 7 miles from the Market towns of Louth and Market Rasen. The latter provide an excellent range of shopping, schooling and recreational facilities.
The village is linked by a pathway from the bottom of Mill Lane, across the Wolds to the Viking Way, a 147-mile pathway through Lincolnshire, Leicestershire and Rutland. The stone-built village church is Grade 2 Listed and dedicated to St Helen. There is a hilltop long barrow thought to date back to Neolithic times.
