This four-storey, Grade II listed terraced house on Lincoln’s iconic Steep Hill blends period character with contemporary comfort. Sympathetically renovated throughout, the property retains historic features while offering light, stylish living spaces across four levels — including a striking staircase with glass balustrade, a kitchen-diner, and versatile attic and cellar areas. The private rear garden with pedestrian access to Michaelgate provides a quiet outdoor spot in the heart of the city.
The layout suits a range of buyers: an investor seeking short-term let potential in a high-tourism area, a professional couple wanting central city living, or anyone who values period detail and convenience. The property is chain free and freehold, and its central location places independent shops, cafés, Lincoln Cathedral and Castle within easy walking distance — strong draw for holiday lets and long-term rentals alike.
Buyers should be aware of several material considerations. The Grade II listed status will restrict exterior and some internal alterations and may complicate future works. Broadband speeds are reported slow despite excellent mobile signal. The plot is small and some internal rooms have low ceilings; there is a single bathroom to service three bedrooms. The wider area is classified as a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood, which can mean higher footfall and occasional noise levels.
Overall, this property offers a rare chance to own a beautifully restored historic home on one of England’s most famous streets. It combines immediate move-in presentation with clear rental or owner-occupier appeal, provided buyers accept the limits that come with listed status, compact urban plot size, and the locality’s lively character.
