This substantial 4-bedroom chalet bungalow, measuring approximately 2,000 sq ft, is
situated in the Uphill area of Lincoln within close walking distance of
Lincoln's Cathedral Quarter. Standing in a hidden, landscaped plot with
stunning views over the Lincolnshire countryside and the Trent Valley, the home
boasts light and spacious rooms over two floors.
The
ground floor comprises of a large central hallway giving access to a dining
room and lounge which comes with a feature multi-fuel burner and access onto
the balcony. Completing the ground floor is a kitchen, three bedrooms, shower
room and bathroom. This substantial
four-bedroom detached chalet bungalow, measuring approximately 2,000 Sq Ft of
combined floorspace, occupies a discreet and highly sought-after position in
Lincoln’s historic uphill area. Situated just a ten-minute stroll from the
iconic Cathedral and Castle, the home is perched on the North Cliff escarpment, offering breathtaking westerly views that stretch across the Lincolnshire
countryside and the picturesque Trent Valley with stunning daily sunsets.
The
interior is meticulously maintained, offering a thoughtful layout designed for
both family life and entertaining. The ground floor opens into an inviting
entrance porch and a modern downstairs WC, leading through to a spacious
central hallway. The light filled living spaces are a particular highlight; the
lounge features direct access to a balcony terrace specifically designed to
soak in those incredible sunsets and views over the garden, while the formal
dining room and master bedroom both also enjoy expansive outlooks. Three
generously proportioned bedrooms, a modern shower room, and a separate family
bathroom complete the ground floor.
Upstairs, a versatile study landing provides a quiet retreat with perhaps the most
striking views in the house overlooking the West Common and old Grandstand, whilst also leading through to a fourth well-proportioned bedroom.
Externally, the property is a private sanctuary accessed via a long, exclusive driveway off
Upper Long Leys Road. This provides ample parking for vehicles and leads to a
detached garage. The grounds wrap around the home, featuring a beautifully
presented garden and sizeable patio area. A further highlight of the home is a
large workshop and utility/garden store, located underneath the balcony, fitted
with power and plumbing for laundry appliances. Below the patio, the landscaped
gardens slope gently southward, eventually meeting a pedestrian gate near the
Yarborough Road junction which could provide further potential for vehicular
access or parking subject to the necessary planning permissions.
The
property is perfectly placed to enjoy the vibrant lifestyle of the Cathedral
Quarter, where the historic Bailgate offers an exciting mix of independent
boutiques, artisan bakeries, and award-winning restaurants. Families are
particularly well-served by highly regarded local schooling, including Mount
Street Academy, Westgate Academy and the independent Lincoln Minster School, while outdoor enthusiasts can take advantage of the expansive West Common and
Whittons Park, both of which are just moments away for scenic walks and
recreation.
