About this location
An iconic Georgian Grade II listed townhouse located in the highly sought after Westgate conservation area of Louth market town in close proximity to St James' Church and just a short walk to the town centre.
The Limes is one of the finest townhouses to be found in Louth, steeped in history and offers a great opportunity to acquire an extensively renovated home boasting 6 bedrooms in total with annexe wing, 4 bathrooms, 3 reception rooms and spacious mature gardens with parking to the front and rear.
The Property Believed to date back to 1808, this Georgian Grade II listed townhouse benefits from gault brick faced walls and hipped roofs with slate covering. An imposing entrance porch with Doric columns greets visitors to the front. The property was originally constructed by the Emeris family and in 1903 it was gifted to the King Edward VI grammar school by Auguste Alphonse Pahud in memory of his wife Annie. It was then purchased by the current vendor after a short period of disuse in 2018 and was re-roofed and re-wired in 2017. Since the vendor's ownership, the property has undergone an extensive scheme of renovation to the structure and decoration with some minor finishing touches to complete, allowing the purchaser to add their own stamp to the property. The original floorings and doors have been retained throughout. A new central heating system has just been installed, powered by a dual combination gas boiler together with a recently fitted burglar alarm system.
