Situation and Directions
The popular village of Covenham St Bartholomew is a small, leafy
village, characterised by numerous sizeable period properties with a
central Church. The village is ideally situated 7.5 miles from Louth
and 12.7 miles from Grimsby making it ideal for commuters who
want to be well connected and yet in a peaceful, rural setting. The
bustling market town of Louth has a range of individual shops, 3
markets each week, strong secondary schools and the King Edward
VI Grammar School (each with specialist status). Recreational
facilities include a golf course, cinema, theatre, attractive parks,
brand new sports and swimming complex and the Kenwick Park
Leisure Centre on the outskirts with equestrian centre. To drive to
the property from Louth, take the A16 towards Grimsby, continue
through Fotherby and on to Utterby taking the first right hand
turning in the village onto Ings Lane. Continue, bearing left at the
crossroads for around 2 miles and upon entering Covenham St
Bartholomew continue for around 300 yards where The Old Rectory
will be found on the left hand side opposite the church.
The Property
Steeped in period character, this beautifully proportioned house is
thought to date back to the 1700s with a baronial feel and many
original features, from its wide, arched front door to its double-
height reception hall with gallery landing above and impressive
Inglenook fireplace. The house has been sympathetically maintained
by its present owners having undergone partial re-timbering and
partial re-roofing to both the house and to the coach house which
flanks the front driveway. The flowing accommodation provides a
dining hall, dining kitchen, snug, study and a sitting room in addition
to its four first-floor bedrooms, making it a wonderful family home
which is designed for entertaining. An oak-framed garage building
with Rosemary tiled roof has recently been constructed which adds
to the existing outbuildings and coach house which offers good
storage space or additional garaging as well as conversion potential
(STP). Seated to the middle of this popular village located close to
Louth, the house enjoys a delightful situation, opposite the village
church with fabulous open views over old pasture and on to the
Wolds beyond to the rear.
