Tacey’s Farm, Willerton Road, North Somercotes, Louth, Lincolnshire LN11 7NH

Ripe for renovation with great potential, this

detached cottage has grounds extending to 1.95

acres (subject to survey) comprising garden, two

areas of arable land and outbuildings including a

substantial brick-built garage/store providing

scope to live and work from home (STP).

Directions and Location

Entering North Somercotes on the A1031 coast road from the north, go

past the Axe and Cleaver public house at the crossroads and proceed

into the centre of the village. Turn left opposite the Trinity Methodist

church into Churchill Lane and follow the road until the turning into

Willerton Road is found on the right. Take this turning and continue to

the end of the road. At this point an unmade lane leads both left and

right. Take the left branch and after a few yards Tacey’s Farm will be

found on the right side.

North Somercotes is a larger than average country village which has a

range of services including primary and secondary schools, small shops

and cafes, two local pubs and a picturesque fishing lake with café

backing onto a pine forest. The coastal area of Lincolnshire is ideal for

walking, riding, bird watchers and wildlife enthusiasts. Louth market

town is approximately ten miles away inland and has an excellent range

of shopping, schooling and recreational facilities. Main business centres

are in Grimsby (18 miles) and Lincoln (38 miles).

The Property

This detached cottage is estimated to date back to Victorian times and is

of solid brick construction beneath a principle pitched timber roof

structure which is covered in concrete interlocking tiles. The property

requires a scheme of renovation and modernisation but already has

mainly replacement uPVC- framed, double-glazed windows. Adjacent to

the cottage is a useful and versatile outbuilding substantially constructed

in brick with large double-door access and a pitched roof structure

covered in metal profile sheets. In addition, there are a number of older

outbuildings. The property and land provide scope for a variety of uses

including equestrian, horticultural or hobby farm (stp).
