Chapel Lane, Great Carlton LN11 8JR

A completely unique opportunity in this sought after village has arisen to acquire this stunning barn conversion project. The barns are positioned on a quiet no through road enjoying open views with formal gardens and parkland beyond included, in total extending to 4.4 acres (subject to survey).

Full planning has been granted providing 4-bedroom 2 storey accommodation with 4 reception rooms covering 4500 sq foot with an adjoining 1 bedroom annex (840 sq foot) making an ideal set up for merging families. Externally the driveway gives access to the parking and sheltered internal courtyard. Gated access into the grass paddock beyond presenting an excellent opportunity for equestrian or horticultural use.  

Location The plot enjoys a quiet rural setting just a short drive from the popular market town of Louth, (7 miles) which has an excellent range of shops, primary/secondary schools and academies, the King Edward VI grammar school and numerous recreational facilities. Louth has a cinema, theatre, sports and swimming centres, tennis academy, bowls, golf course and the Kenwick Park Leisure and Equestrian Centre on the outskirts. Seven miles to the east is the Lincolnshire coast with nature reserves to north and south, the latter culminating in beaches which stretch for many miles beyond Skegness to Gibraltar Point. Legbourne and South Reston are around three to three and a half miles away, each providing popular public houses with dining facilities. The main regional business centres are in Lincoln (35 miles) and Grimsby (24 miles) 

Directions From Louth take the B1200 towards Legbourne, take the second exit at the roundabout and follow the A157 through Legbourne. After leaving the village, look for and take the first left turning to Little Carlton, follow the lane to the eventual T-junction and turn right. Continue to Great Carlton and at the crossroads in the village centre, carry straight on and the barns will be found on the right. 

The Proposed Dwelling and Plot The barns enjoy a superb position on a no through lane with excellent views all round. The accommodation has been well planned as to make the most of the positioning and orientation openings onto its own grounds. Access is directly from Chapel Lane where the proposed driveway will lead to the rear of the property. The proposed dwelling will be a mixture of 1 and 2 storey elements which has been designed specifically to respond to the character of the existing buildings. The former cart shed to one end which was partially converted to an office will form the open plan dining kitchen area. Apart from the stores and workshops to one side (which are retained for use by Wyggeston House) the entire building will be converted to create one dwelling housing four bedrooms in total. The southern single storey section which is connected to the main barn by a covered passageway will be converted to form a single bedroom annex.

Gated access into the parkland beyond provides brilliant scope for recreational, equestrian or horticultural use (subject to any necessary consents). A newly formed boundary on the south eastern side of the paddock is currently open and will be the responsibility of the buyer to erect Lincolnshire post and rail fencing along its length within six months from completing the purchase of the property.

Opening through giving access to the WC and pantry which then opens into the superb open plan living dining kitchen area retaining the current fully glazed rear aspect.

Further door from the hall to the further large reception room ideal as dining or sitting room with door to terrace and opening into the study.
