“I have owned the property for 30 years although due to being overseas much of the time, I have only actually lived here for 6 years, but it is the most wonderful home in an equally wonderful location. For anyone who wants to be close to the centre of a city but live in a quiet, private, detached compact home this is perfect. For me, the house wraps itself around you and imbues you with a sense of warmth and calm.”
“The property was built in 1986, the ground floor up six steps enhancing the natural light and views of the skies, and was originally the show home for the development with the annex being the sales office. You can see the river and the cathedral from the upstairs windows and enjoy eating breakfast in sunshine on the balcony which has an open aspect but no-one can see in. I have only just had the beautiful bi-folding doors installed here leading onto the Astro-turfed area which overlooks the back garden. It is a very light and airy property filled with sunshine and really brings the outside in.”
“The annex is a superb asset which I have run as a very successful Air BnB receiving the Superhost accolade generating a high number of stars. However, should someone wish to rent it out this would provide an income in excess of £800 per month. The annex will be sold ‘as is’ fitted out, up and running, as part of the sale of the whole property. I have had many different types of professional living there for months at a time, in particular those attending the University whether as a lecturer or a student, but the location also lends itself fantastically for tourists visiting the city with everything within such easy reach on foot. However, I would love it to be for a family member living alongside, perhaps an elderly parent - that would be perfect!”
“The walled garden is a little haven as it is peaceful and private and a real sun trap. All the buildings within it are part of the family that make up this home – not just the annex but i’ve enjoyed sitting in the summerhouse, pottering in the greenhouse and using the shed for storage. Largely paved, there is a bit of a lawn, but lots of foliage from the silver birch and cherry tree to box hedging and abundant shrubs and climbers, and being in a corner position there’s always somewhere to sit in the sun or indeed shade.”
“The location of the property is fabulous with all that you might want from a thriving city on the doorstep yet you can walk into countryside within a few minutes and enjoy the open spaces, the river and lots of wildlife.”
Location
Wharf Road is in a quiet residential estate alongside the Fossdyke canal, number 56’s corner plot benefitting a garden on two sides. Situated just west of the city centre off the Carholme Road, it is in a prime position for reaching everything you might need. Within easy walking distance are many convenient shops such as a Co-op, whilst less than a mile away - a few minutes’ drive or a 10 minute walk – is the historic quarter with the castle, cathedral and the Bailgate, Lincoln University as well as the train station. In the opposite direction, a few minutes’ walk along the canal takes you into a rural landscape known as West Common, an open space where horses graze, ideal for walking and exercising, and where you find tennis courts, a cricket pitch, and Carholme Golf Club.
Lincoln is a vibrant city with a rich and interesting history. During the Roman era Lincoln was known as 'Lindum Colonia' developed from an Iron Age Settlement on the River Witham. The two most notable attractions are the spectacular 11th century Cathedral and the Castle at the heart of the city's cultural Cathedral Quarter. Lincoln has two universities, the University of Lincoln and Bishop Grosseteste, and the city is full of a diverse range of shopping and retail options from high street stores to unique independents and boutiques.
The Bailgate is the Uphill section of Lincoln where you can enjoy walking around the castle gardens and cathedral, and the popular Bailgate shopping area – quirky streets full of specialist shops including boutiques, antique shops, crafts, book and gift shops, not to mention tea rooms and restaurants. These quaint shops are surrounded by the remains of medieval Lincoln, black timber-framed buildings and even some hidden Romans remains. Enjoy regular artists’ and farmers’ markets in the Castle Square as well as the annual Christmas Market, always a fabulous event. It also has the Usher Art Gallery and The Collection Museum slightly further down the hill.
