The detached dwelling is proposed for an area at the former Sargent's ice cream factory off Brigg Road, Hibaldstow.
A report sent to North Lincolnshire Council in support of the application says it is proposed to demolish single-storey buildings and clear that area to enable the property to be erected.
"There is sufficient area for a four-bedroom house, garage and garden," the statement reveals.
The application is now under consideration by council planners.
