One of four building plots with full planning permission in a sought-after semi-rural location on the outskirts of popular Legbourne village and with approved design for a superb detached family house with double garage and independent vehicular access. The four plots are available to buy individually or as a whole at a guide price of £595,000 and back onto farmland with mature trees around the perimeter and existing screen fencing to the front garden boundaries.
Directions Proceed away from Louth on the Legbourne Road and continue to the roundabout, take the second exit and follow the A157 road. Follow the road to Legbourne and proceed to the very far end of the village, passing the Queen's Head public house on the right and then after taking the sharp right bend, the entrance into Wildrose Cottage will be found on the right side. The four building plots in Wildrose Meadow presently form the grass paddock of this property.
Location The village of Legbourne is just three miles or so from the market town of Louth and positioned close to the foot of the Lincolnshire Wolds with the Greenwich prime zero meridian passing through the village. A strong community spirit continues in Legbourne with many events taking place at the village hall and playing field while a local shop caters for most needs. The East Wold primary school is highly regarded, Red Hen children's nursery is just across the road, and the village pub is a short distance from the four building plots. A walk down Mill Lane and along the stream to the neighbouring village of Little Cawthorpe brings you to The Royal Oak or 'The Splash'.
There is a Grade II village pump in the village centre, a Grade II tower mill and the Grade I Listed Church of All Saints. Nearby Legbourne Wood is one of the few ancient woodlands in Eastern Lincolnshire and the largest of the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust woodland nature reserves.
The market town of Louth has an attractive Georgian centre with many interesting character buildings all dominated by the spire of St. James' church and the town has an excellent range of shopping, schooling and recreational facilities to include a cinema, theatre, tennis academy, Meridian sports centre with swimming pool, playing fields, golf course, the Kenwick Park leisure centre on the outskirts and many individual clubs and societies. There are also excellent schools and academies including the King Edward VI Grammar School
Setting In recent years, the owners of Wildrose Cottage have been privileged to enjoy the private level pasture paddock which has now been granted full planning permission for the construction of four substantial detached family houses with associated garaging and independent vehicular access from the road. The boundary to Reston Road is lined by mature trees, supplemented by a tall close-boarded fence which maintains privacy and seclusion. There are further established trees along the southern boundary with openings allowing superb views across the fields to the south side towards the Lincolnshire Wolds. The approved house designs are described individually in more detail below, but each stands well back from the road approached over a long driveway with ample turning and parking space before giving access to the garages. In total, the four plots extend to approximately 1.66 acres (subject to survey) and each provides the potential to landscape an attractive country garden taking advantage of the mature surroundings.
Planning Full planning permission was granted by the East Lindsey District Council on the 14th May, 2020 under application number N/100/02289/19 for the erection of four substantial detached houses, each with associated garages and construction of vehicular accesses, on land adjacent to Wildrose Cottage, Reston Road, Legbourne.
