South Elkington, Louth, Lincolnshire, LN11

Behind electric gates with stunning Lincolnshire Wolds views, Silvadale is an exceptional 1930s detached home set in 1.3 acres of landscaped gardens. The four-bedroom residence includes a successful detached cottage, ideal for income, multi-generational living, or extended family accommodation.

A substantial solid timber entrance door opens into a welcoming reception hall where beams to the ceiling, timber panelling and an elegant staircase with wrought iron and timber balustrade set the tone for the accommodation beyond. A cloakroom is conveniently positioned off the hallway.

To either side of the entrance hall are two versatile reception rooms. The principal sitting room is a character-filled space, flooded with natural light from leaded windows and French doors opening onto the garden. At its heart is an inglenook fireplace with exposed timber supports and arched detailing, creating a focal point and an atmospheric room for entertaining and family life.

The second reception room, currently utilised as a home office, offers similar charm with exposed character features and an attractive stone fireplace. Equally suited as a snug, playroom or formal dining room, it provides excellent flexibility.

To the rear of the property is the spacious kitchen, fitted with quality solid oak-fronted cabinetry, integrated appliances and tiled work surfaces. With both a rear access door and patio doors opening to the gardens, it forms the practical heart of the home.

Beyond the kitchen lies a particularly attractive timber conservatory set upon brick foundations. Positioned on the cooler, shadier side of the house for year-round enjoyment, this delightful room features stone tiled flooring, roof blinds and French doors opening onto the gardens, creating an ideal space to relax and enjoy the surrounding views.

The first floor provides four generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, benefitting from fitted wardrobes and French doors opening onto a Juliet balcony that captures magnificent views across the private gardens. Two bedrooms enjoy stylish modern en-suite shower rooms, whilst the remaining bedrooms are served by a spacious family bathroom featuring both a double-ended bath and separate walk-in shower.

Silvadale Cottage

Adding significantly to the appeal of the property is the detached Silvadale Cottage. Positioned discreetly within the grounds and finished to an exceptionally high standard throughout, this attractive detached cottage currently operates as a successful holiday let, generating a valuable additional income stream whilst remaining independent from the main residence.

Designed for comfortable year-round occupancy, the cottage offers well-planned single-storey accommodation comprising a spacious double bedroom with a luxurious en-suite shower room featuring a shower, wash basin and WC. The open-plan living space combines a well-equipped kitchen, dining area and sitting room, centred around a flame-effect fire which creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Beautifully presented and meticulously maintained, the cottage provides an ideal retreat for visitors exploring the Lincolnshire Wolds and coastline. Beyond its proven holiday letting credentials, the cottage offers exceptional flexibility as accommodation for extended family, dependent relatives, grown-up children seeking a degree of independence, or visiting guests. It could also serve as ancillary living accommodation for those requiring ground-floor living, making it a highly adaptable addition to the property. The quality of finish mirrors the standards seen throughout the main residence, ensuring comfortable and versatile accommodation in an exceptional setting.

Step Outside

The grounds are undoubtedly one of Silvadale's defining features.

Extending to over 1.3 acres, the gardens have been meticulously maintained and landscaped to an exceptional standard, creating a private parkland setting rarely found with village properties. Entered through impressive pillared electric gates, the sweeping red tarmac driveway winds through expanses of lawn, mature specimen trees and traditional-style lighting before reaching the house, cottage, double garage and substantial timber double carport.

To the rear, the former village bowling green has been thoughtfully incorporated into the gardens and now forms a magnificent central lawn, creating a striking focal point visible from numerous seating areas positioned throughout the grounds.

The gardens offer a wonderful sense of privacy, enclosed by mature trees, established shrubs, floral borders and attractive banks that create colour, structure and year-round interest. Every aspect of the landscaping has been carefully curated and impeccably maintained, resulting in grounds that resemble a private park rather than a conventional garden.

Adding further charm is a beautifully restored octagonal greenhouse, providing both a practical and highly attractive feature within this remarkable outdoor setting.

Whether hosting garden parties, enjoying peaceful afternoons overlooking the lawns or simply appreciating the stunning Wolds backdrop, the grounds provide an exceptional environment for outdoor living.
