An exceptional detached country residence in 4. 5 - acre grounds (sts) on the
edge of a sought - after Wolds village near Louth with grassland to the west
having potential for various uses (STP), a detached annexe successfully
operated as self - catering top - rated holiday accommodation sleeping up to 6
visitors or ideal as a home office/studio with facilities (STP) and a double
garage with further conversion potential. The house features two large
reception rooms, a sunny garden room, a Murdoch - Troon hand - built fitted
living/dining kitchen with appliances, a very spacious master bedroom with
ensuite bathroom and dressing room, guest bedroom with ensuite shower, two
further bedrooms and a family bathroom. Superb open views to the south and
west across the surrounding Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty.
_Directions_ From St James' church in the centre of Louth travel north on
Bridge Street into Grimsby Road and turn left along St. Mary's Lane. At the
end of the road bear right and proceed to the roundabout, then take the second
exit. At the fork bear left and then follow the road for just over two miles
ignoring the first right turn and take the second right to Welton - le - Wold. The
house will become visible through the trees on the left on entering the
village and the lane leading to the property is on the left at the foot of the
hill.
_The_ _Property_ Dating back around 20 years, this highly individual detached
country home stands superbly on the edge of Welton - le - Wold, a village which
enjoys a snug, sheltered valley setting within the Lincolnshire Wolds. By
contrast, Daintree House nestles into the north slope of the hillside but
enjoys a feeling of elevation as the driveway leads upwards to the property
and the windows command some lovely views to the south and west over rolling
hills and the owned paddock adjacent.
A modern house seldom enjoys such an outlying village setting due to planning
restrictions – this property is the culmination of a successful planning
application to replace an older single storey cottage. The application is
rumoured to have had connections with film star/director Quentin Tarrantino.
The handsome main house has brick - faced, insulated cavity walls, beneath a
high - pitched clay pan tiled roof of attractive half - hip design, incorporating
four pitched roof dormers to the front slope and a further such dormer to the
rear. Heating is by an oil central heating system with pressurized hot water
and the windows are traditionally framed with double - glazed units.
The annexe is a detached building with current planning permission for a
double garage with storage but has been fitted out and successfully operated
as holiday accommodation earning 9. 8/10 rating on and accommodating up to 6
visitors with a self - catering kitchen and shower room – the double garage
affords potential for conversion into further accommodation. This building has
otherwise formed a home - working office/studio for a business and could
alternatively be an annexe for teenager/elderly relatives, subject to planning
permission. The brick faced cavity wall structure has its own lpg central
heating system, clay pan tiled roof, 3 double - glazed skylight and 2 gable
windows, and a hot/cold air conditioning unit.

_Location_ Welton - le - Wold has for many years been a favoured village by
property buyers due to the charming surrounding countryside in the
Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village offers a
peaceful way of life away from main roads but is just 4 miles from Louth
market town with its excellent range of shopping, educational and recreational
facilities. Positioned on the hillside is the Grade II Listed Church of St.
Martin which dates from the 14th Century. The village was recorded in the 1086
Domesday Book as having 57 households.
The Wolds is a popular area for equestrians with numerous bridleways and there
are some scenic walks onto the hills, one leading directly from Daintree
House. The village name is associated with the stream running through the main
area and a walk to the eastern fringes will reveal pathways leading to South
Elkington and in turn to Louth.
The main business centres in the region are Lincoln (24 miles), Grimsby (18
miles) and Boston (33 miles) while the Humberside Airport is approximately 24
miles away.
