A rare opportunity to acquire a stunning detached residence, perfectly positioned within easy reach of Bailgate and Uphill Lincoln—one of the city's most historically significant areas. Just a 10-minute walk from the magnificent Lincoln Cathedral, one of Europe's finest examples of Gothic architecture, this home offers both heritage and convenience.
Set within beautifully maintained mature grounds, the property enjoys a truly unique and historic setting. At its heart stands a charming period Folly, occupying the highest point in Lincoln. Originally forming part of Lord Shuttleworth's estate, the Folly once served as his summer house. The grounds are further enhanced by an impressive collection of specimen trees, planted by Colonel Hobson following his travels around the world, adding both character and botanical interest to this remarkable setting.
Built in 1920 by the Sheriff of Lincolnshire, Sir Robert Pattinson, for his own use, this home has had only three owners in its lifetime. It has been recently rewired and reroofed, ensuring modern comfort while preserving its historical character.
Despite its proximity to the city, the property offers exceptional security, enclosed by an extensive brick boundary wall, yet it retains the charm of a secluded country retreat. Sitting on the rear veranda, you can enjoy serene views over the mature gardens and beyond to Lincoln Cathedral.
Inside, the home has been lovingly maintained by the same family for over 30 years, offering a rare opportunity to make it your own. The ground floor comprises an inviting entrance porch and hallway, a cloakroom/WC, a well-equipped kitchen with a pantry, a spacious dining room, and a comfortable lounge. Additionally, an adjoining self-contained annexe—currently operating as a successful Airbnb—features a private entrance and the flexibility to be seamlessly incorporated into the main home if desired.
Upstairs, the property boasts a family shower room, a separate WC, and five generously proportioned double bedrooms, including a main bedroom that benefits from a private en-suite.
Agent's Notes: Approved planning permission allows for the addition of an in-and-out driveway at the front of the home.
