Summary - 17 SAXON STREET LINCOLN LN1 3HN
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Traditional mid-terrace close to Bailgate and Cathedral Quarter, ideal first-time purchase.
Two double bedrooms in traditional mid-terrace layout
This traditional two-bedroom mid-terraced house sits in Lincoln’s desirable Uphill area, a short walk from the Bailgate, Steep Hill and Cathedral Quarter. The layout is straightforward: a front lounge through to a dining area, a modern-feel fitted kitchen and a ground-floor bathroom; two double bedrooms sit on the first floor. The property extends to about 668 sq ft and is offered freehold.
Stand-out practical features include double glazing (fitted post-2002), mains gas boiler and radiators, and a low-maintenance private courtyard with gravel and patio. The location offers excellent local amenities, good broadband and mobile signal, and very low council tax (Band A), making running costs comparatively affordable.
Buyers should note material drawbacks frankly: the external walls are original solid brick and assumed to have no cavity insulation, the EPC is rated D, and the area records higher-than-average crime levels. The plot is small and there is a right of access over a neighbour’s walkway from the garden. These factors mean modest external and thermal-improvement work may be needed for long-term energy savings.
This home suits first-time buyers or those looking for a compact city-base near Lincoln’s cultural quarter. It also offers potential for modest refurbishment to improve energy efficiency and value, but purchasers should budget for insulation or targeted upgrades rather than expecting a turnkey, large-garden property.
