Seller Insights
“Number 6 is the largest apartment in Bailgate Court which I have enjoyed since its completion. It is the most beautiful place, exquisitely fitted and with incredible views of both the castle and the cathedral; it almost feels as if you can touch them from the roof terrace.”
“It was originally the old infirmary which then became a theological college and then part of the university; it was called Chad Varah House after the priest and founder of the Samaritans, Chad Varah, who studied here when it was a theological college.”
“There is a lot of glazing so plenty of natural light. The entrance hall features the old roof timbers with modern glazed panels above, the two bedrooms and downstairs reception room in the new part have floor to ceiling, fully glazed doors which can tilt or open, with fitted blinds and protected by glass Juliette balconies, and the top floor has a huge wall of sliding doors onto the terrace that really brings the outside in.”
“The two bedrooms in the old part have doors into a very spacious bathroom with a contemporary free standing bath in the middle where you can lie and soak gazing out of a huge window to the front. The bronze tiles in there are from Laura Ashley. The main bedroom has a palatial bathroom with built in mirrored cupboards. There are four showers in the property and three baths, two of which have inset televisions – it’s all very luxurious!”
“All the bedrooms have fitted wardrobes, one bedroom has a walk in wardrobe with light sensors, and the stairs also have an added feature of inset lights into the steps.”
“There is such versatility in the use of the spaces. The bedroom with the hidden pull-down bed in the units has the option of being an office with so much fitted storage, but equally it makes a great guest bedroom using the downstairs WC and shower at the end of the hall as an en suite featuring Ted baker tiles, with a door closing it off from the hall.”
“The top floor has a sitting area adjoining the kitchen which also houses a small dining table. There are electric points either end of the roof terrace with decked areas where you can barbecue – it is a fantastic place for holding a big party.”
“It’s a clutter-free home and the whole apartment has been designed with that in mind and has plenty of built-in storage. All my kitchen appliances like the food processor, toaster and so on are tucked away in a working cupboard but easily accessible. All the larger, Neff appliances are built in with an all singing, all dancing double oven with hide-and-slide doors as well as a steamer and a microwave, and a concealed fridge, freezer and dishwasher. There’s an induction hob and the worktops are Dekton - I even had the table top made to match.”
“The utility is very practical with a sink, shelving and rails behind sliding doors and a washing machine, dryer and an overhead airer.”
“The property is very quiet, even when you’re on the roof terrace, although you can feel the buzz and bustle of Castle Square; it’s a great place to enjoy the Christmas market. We are just steps away from Steep Hill so it is a superb location, and it is quite a sociable community with the shared lawned garden with benches at the front overlooking the city and cliff in the distance.”
Location
Bailgate Court is a grade II listed building and has had various guises; it was built in 1777 as Lincoln County Hospital but in the 1870s became a theological college, and since 1995 it has been part of Lincoln University. In 2018 it was transformed into these impressive, private, luxury apartments with a superb modern addition to the rear.
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.
