Pottergate, Lincoln, Lincolnshire, LN2

An impressive eight-bedroom character property on one of Lincoln’s most historic streets, set within Uphill Lincoln and moments from the stunning gothic cathedral.

Description

The property is a splendid Grade II Listed home dating from the 16th century, with some elements believed to originate from an earlier period. It occupies an exceptional position within yards of Lincoln's breath taking Gothic cathedral and the Grade I Listed Pottergate, while also within approx. 0.5 mile from the city's vibrant centre.

Upon entering, the reception hall leads to a private study and the kitchen/breakfast room at the front of the house. The kitchen features tiled flooring, farmhouse-style fitted units, a range cooker and space for various under-counter appliances, while the adjoining utility room provides additional storage and appliance space. Towards the rear are two airy sitting rooms, offering comfortable spaces in which to relax or entertain. Both rooms feature wooden flooring, decorative ceiling cornicing and a neutral colour palette; one opens on to the gardens through French doors, while the other is flooded with natural light from two tall sash windows.

The first floor accommodates four generous double bedrooms, one of which is arranged as a walk-through room that would lend itself equally well to use as an additional sitting room. The principal bedroom is positioned towards the rear and benefits from a private en suite bathroom with a bathtub and corner shower, while another first-floor bedroom also enjoys en suite facilities. Staircases at both the front and rear of the house rise to the second floor, where there are four further bedrooms.

At the front, the property opens on to Pottergate, with views of the historic gatehouse. There are private, walled, south-facing gardens to the side, which include a sunny patio and an area of lawn, while at the rear there is a further courtyard garden with access to a garden room for storage.
