Formally known as The Bishop’s House, it is a Grade I listed property of historic importance with parts dating back to the 13th Century. This really is a unique opportunity as it was previously used as a residence by bishops for over 50 years and this is a first in recent times of it coming to the open market. Atherstone House has undergone a huge project of restoration, and is now considered one of the finest properties in the area.
The current owners have created an impressive home, which uniquely emphasises the abundance of period features whilst complimenting them with large open plan rooms and a high specification throughout. Whilst the property has been fully modernised, there are many 18th / 19th century restored fireplaces, high ceilings with moulded cornice and wooden panelling.
The property sits behind a high stone and brick wall with remote iron entrance gates. On arrival, a driveway sweeps through the formal front and side gardens. On entering the house you will find a spectacular entrance hall with wooden panelled fireplace and ornate central staircase with moulded handrails; leading to a galleried landing.
A few steps lead you down into the impressive formal dining room offering ample space for entertaining, and French doors opening to the gardens on the east side of the property. Further doors at the far end open to the south side with pleasant views of the Cathedral. From here a few steps lead to the sitting room, also facing south, with views of the Cathedral and featuring a fireplace with wood burner.
The largest room in the house is the open plan kitchen, breakfast, and family room; with an abundance of natural light from the large windows at each end and featuring a wide range of fitted units, integral appliances, island, fireplace with wood burner, and tiled flooring throughout.
Across the entrance hall you will find a further spacious dual aspect drawing room, currently being used as an office. The ground floor offers an impressive number of versatile rooms including a utility room, cloakroom, boot room, a rear entrance lobby, and a range of storage rooms.
The first floor offers six spacious bedrooms, and three bathrooms. The first bedroom has an adjoining dressing room, the second and third bedrooms share an en suite and have built-in wardrobes, with a separate shower room across the landing. A door leads to three further bedrooms, one currently used as a cinema room, and a family bathroom. A separate staircase leads to the second floor containing two more bedrooms, and a range of storage rooms.
Outside in the well-manicured gardens is an elevated sun terrace and a private rear courtyard and patio area: perfect for entertaining throughout the year. Lastly there are a range of refurbished outbuildings offering a multitude of options, currently being used as a garage, a gym and a workshop.
Sitting on a private walled plot of approximately 1.2 acres (sts), Atherstone House has internal accommodation and outbuildings in excess of 8,000 sqft. Sumptuously presented, deceptively spacious, with a fusion of modern and period features; it is a simply fantastic property, and a rare and unique opportunity to obtain one of Lincoln’s hidden gems.

Broadband availability and predicted speed
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
