This chain-free, two-bedroom top-floor apartment sits on the third storey with an open view over nearby countryside. The property offers a practical layout: an open-plan lounge/diner with Juliet balcony, a kitchen with electric hob and oven, two bedrooms and two bathrooms (one en-suite). A long lease (978 years) and included off-street parking add ownership convenience.
The building is a modern brick development built around 1996–2002 with double glazing and communal gardens. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, useful for remote working and streaming. Council tax is low, and the modest ground rent (£100) keeps running costs predictable.
Buyers should note material negatives: heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central system, and the area faces medium flood risk. The neighbourhood records high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale or rental demand. The property is offered as leasehold and requires routine maintenance typical for flats of this age.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking an affordable entry into Lincoln with countryside outlook and easy connectivity. It presents straightforward living now and scope to improve energy efficiency and internal finishes over time.
