Hi-Tor, Grimsby Road, Louth LN11 0ED

Positioned in a high elevated position with open views yet just a short walk from the town centre, this unique detached bungalow has been transformed into a bright, contemporary home with landscaped gardens and patios, together with a long driveway leading to a spacious parking area and garage at the rear.

Directions From St. James' church travel north along Bridge Street into Grimsby Road, proceed up the hill and past the crossroads where St. Mary's Lane leads off to the left and High Holme Road leads off to the right. Continue for a short distance and High Tor will then be found standing back from the road in a high elevated position on the left side. The driveway leading up to the garage and parking area is a short distance before the steps leading up to the front door.

The Property This individual detached bungalow is believed to date back to around 1930 and has brick and white stucco rendered principal walls with reconstituted stone features beneath a pitched and hipped timber roof structure covered in clay tiles.

Heating is provided by a gas-fired central heating system with a modern condensing boiler around 5 years old, supplemented by a grey enamelled multi-fuel stove in the lounge. The property has replacement uPVC framed, double-glazed windows and rear door with a composite part-glazed (double-glazed) front door.

The bungalow has been improved and modernised to an excellent standard and has bright, airy rooms with large windows commanding some excellent views from the high elevated position.

There is a contemporary re-fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a modern shower room and the lounge has a side bay window overlooking the evening patio and water feature. There are bay windows to the front and side elevations and French doors from the lounge onto the wide, sunny rear patio which has a modern pergola with retractable screens.

A long driveway sweeps up from Grimsby Road to a spacious gravelled parking area for several vehicles and giving access to a concrete sectional garage of generous proportions.
