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
