4 bedroom character property for sale

The Property
A rare opportunity to acquire this unique three-bedroom, three-storey Grade II listed character cottage, enviably positioned on Greestone Terrace, one of Lincoln’s most sought-after Uphill addresses in the historic Cathedral Quarter.

Steeped in history and local legend, Greestone Terrace sits alongside the famous Greestone Steps — an atmospheric and much-discussed landmark in Lincoln folklore — adding an undeniable sense of heritage, charm and intrigue to an already exceptional location.

The main cottage offers accommodation full of period features, comprising an inner hallway, living room, kitchen, and cellar. To the first floor, a landing leads to Bedroom One / Sitting Room and Bedroom Two with en-suite WC, while the second floor having Bedroom Three and a family bathroom, completing the principal living space.

A particular highlight of the property is the recently constructed, self-contained one-bedroom annex, thoughtfully created by the current owners. The annex comprises a reception room, kitchen/diner, bedroom, and En-suite shower room, offering exceptional flexibility. Ideal for multi-generational living, a home office, or as a highly desirable Airbnb or holiday let, it benefits from the property’s prime proximity to the Cathedral Quarter and a short walk into Lincoln City Centre — making it a superb income-generating opportunity.

Externally, the property enjoys a private garden set at an elevated position, providing stunning views across the City of Lincoln. The gardens feature a variety of seating areas, a covered pergola, charming cottage-style and herb planting, a paved terrace, decking a vegetable patch and two lovely plum trees along with access to the annex — creating a peaceful and picturesque outdoor retreat rarely found so close to the city centre.

There is literally no other property like this in the world.
