Set in Smith Street just a short walk from Lincoln city centre and the mainline station, this two-bedroom Victorian terraced house is offered for sale by Modern Method of Auction. The layout includes a lounge, separate dining room, fitted kitchen and family bathroom with two double bedrooms upstairs. A small, low-maintenance rear garden and on-street parking complete the practical city-centre package.
The property requires renovation throughout: cosmetically updated rooms, kitchen repairs including under-cabinet damage, and likely improvements to insulation and heating efficiency. Construction circa 1900–1929 means solid-brick walls with assumed lack of cavity insulation; double glazing is fitted but install date is unknown. EPC rating D and mains gas boiler with radiators are in place, but overall energy performance could be improved.
This is a clear opportunity for a buyer willing to invest time and budget: suitable for first-time buyers prepared to renovate, landlords targeting central-location rental demand, or downsizers seeking a compact, manageable home. Note the sale process — auction terms apply with a reservation fee — and the property is sold freehold and chain-free for a quicker completion.
Be realistic about the local context: the area is classified as deprived with higher-than-average crime levels and constrained renters nearby, which will affect resale and rental yields. Positive nearby amenities include strong transport links, good and outstanding local primary/secondary schools, plentiful shops and leisure options within walking distance.
