Livesey Road, Ludborough DN36 5SF

An individual detached family house of generous proportions in a mature setting with attractive views and positioned on the outskirts of Ludborough village, well placed for travelling to Grimsby and Louth. Solar panels to the rear roof slope, air source heating system, 4 large double bedrooms, two bathrooms, elegant hall and landing, three reception rooms and recent garden room at the rear. Resin bonded drive to double garage and gardens to 3 sides. 

About the Property … The house is thought to date back to the 1970's and has rendered walls over a brick plinth beneath pitched timber roof structures mainly covered in concrete interlocking tiles. The windows are uPVC double glazed, mostly having diamond lattice panes and the fascia boards and soffits are finished in complementary white uPVC.

In recent years the house has benefited from low or zero carbon energy sources to include photovoltaic solar panels to the rear roof slope and an air source heat pump for central heating. There is a fireplace in the drawing room with a high-output grate and a small electric fire in the living room. A new porch has also been constructed for the main entrance and a double-glazed garden room at the rear, each with composite tiled roof. The driveway has also been re-formed with an immaculate resin-bonded finish
