This detached residence presents a distinctive opportunity for potential buyers seeking a blend of historical charm and renovation possibilities. Nestled within lush grounds, the property is conveniently located near the historic areas of Bailgate and Uphill Lincoln, with the iconic Lincoln Cathedral just a 10-minute stroll away.
The gardens feature remnants of the original Roman moat, adding to its unique character, alongside a quaint period Folly marking one of Lincoln's highest points. Once part of Lord Shuttleworth's estate, this home served as his summer retreat, and the grounds are enriched with an array of mature specimen trees planted by Colonel Hobson during his extensive travels.
Constructed in 1920 by Sir Robert Pattinson, former Sheriff of Lincolnshire, this residence has had only three owners and has recently undergone essential updates, including new wiring and roofing. The extensive brick boundary wall provides security while affording a sense of tranquility that feels more like a country escape than a city home.
Inside, the property has been well-maintained by its current owners for over three decades. It features an inviting entrance porch leading to spacious living areas that include a lounge and dining room, as well as a practical kitchen equipped with a pantry. An adjoining self-contained annexe offers additional flexibility and income potential as it currently operates as an Airbnb but could easily be rejoined to the main house if desired.
Upstairs holds five generously sized double bedrooms alongside family facilities including a shower room and separate WC. The main bedroom is enhanced by an en-suite for added convenience.
Moreover, there is approved planning permission for an in-and-out driveway at the front of the home. A building plot on the side also comes with planning consent for a chalet-style dwelling designed by Rob Bradley. This proposed accommodation would feature an open-plan living area with kitchen facilities, along with two bedrooms upstairs—an attractive prospect for investors or those looking to increase their property's value.
This residence not only offers immediate comforts but also significant renovation and investment potential in one of Lincoln's most sought-after locations.
