THE GRANGE, SEA LANE, NORTH COTES, DN36 5UZ A detached 5 bedroom (4 en-suite) character property set in approximately 8.60 acres of gardens and park land. The Grange benefits from a range outbuildings, including a greenhouse, BBQ hut and a squash court.

HISTORY The Grange on Sea Lane was originally the former rectory at North Coates and would have been the home of the vicar of the nearby Church of St Nicholas. The house was not called The Grange until the 1950s, when went into the private ownership of the family of the current owners.

The site itself may have been the location for a vicarage in post medieval times (c.1540-1720) It is unclear when the current building was first constructed, however there is reference to a ruinous rectory at North Coates being repaired or rebuilt in 1720 and it is believed that this is the date for the oldest part of the current building.
The House has later additions and extensions, which are likely to be of later 18th and 19th century.

LOCATION The Grange is located directly off Sea Lane to the northeast of the village of North Cotes. The popular market town of Louth is located just 14 miles to the south and the Coastal Nature Reserves of ‘Donna Nook’ and ‘Horse Shoe Point’ are nearby.
