Summary - WITHAM VIEW 5 DRURY LANE LINCOLN LN1 3BN
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Rare oversized top-floor apartment with castle views in Lincoln’s Cathedral Quarter.
Top-floor lateral apartment with panoramic castle and city views
Occupying the entire top floor, this oversized two-bedroom apartment offers exceptional lateral space and panoramic views over Lincoln Castle and the southern cityscape. Its elevated position brings peace, privacy and abundant natural light — ideal as a distinctive city base, weekend retreat or pied-à-terre for professionals and second-home buyers.
The apartment is notably large at around 1,370 sq ft and is chain free with an unusually long lease (955 years). Accommodation includes two generous bedrooms, a large kitchen/dining area, separate reception and a useful office space, giving flexibility to reconfigure or personalise the layout to your tastes.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with an average service charge of £1,250 and a small ground rent of £50. The building dates from 1950–66 with solid brick walls (no known insulation) and double glazing of unknown age — some thermal and modernization work may be required depending on buyer preference. There is a single bathroom and the immediate area records higher-than-average crime, which some buyers will want to consider.
Location is a strong selling point: moments from the cobbled Bailgate, Steep Hill and Lincoln’s cultural quarter, with cafes, restaurants and boutiques on the doorstep. Lincoln train station and local universities are within walking distance, and the apartment benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, supporting homeworking or short-let use for the right buyer.
In short, Witham View is a rare, spacious top-floor conversion in a highly desirable historic quarter. It offers a unique combination of size, views and location, balanced by leasehold costs and potential updating — a compelling canvas for someone seeking a special city residence.
