10 JAMES STREET

A fine four-bedroom detached house in an exclusive Uphill Lincoln position, featuring south-facing gardens and unrivalled views of Lincoln Cathedral.

Description

The property is an impressive, detached house with immaculate gardens and stunning views of Lincoln's magnificent Gothic cathedral. The property combines attractive stone elevations and traditional architectural detailing with light-filled, contemporary accommodation. Inside, full-height windows, exposed timber joinery and neutral décor create an elegant and welcoming living environment.

Upon entering, the reception hall features panelled walls, tiled flooring, an oak staircase and a galleried landing above. Reception rooms include a formal dining room and an orangery with a lantern rooflight and bi-fold doors opening on to the south-facing gardens. There is also a private study for home working and a generous open-plan kitchen and breakfast room fitted with shaker-style units, a double Belfast sink, range cooker and integrated appliances.

A helical staircase from the kitchen leads to two further reception rooms on the upper level. These comprise a comfortable living room and an airy sitting room, both benefitting from full-height gable-end windows that frame wonderful, elevated views towards the cathedral. The sitting room also features bi-fold doors opening on to a sunny balcony.

The four bedrooms are arranged across the ground and first floors. On the lower level there are two well-presented double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, served by a shared shower room. The two first-floor bedrooms include the splendid principal suite, which benefits from a dressing room and en suite bathroom, while the remaining bedroom also has its own en suite facilities.

The property is situated at the end of James Street, where there is a gated entrance opening to the front driveway, which provides space for parking. The gardens are mostly to the rear, and benefit from a south-facing aspect with those spectacular views towards the city’s famous cathedral. The gardens include a patio area for al fresco dining, with immaculate ornamental gardens beyond, including box hedging, paved pathways and various colourful flowering perennials. Beyond there is a pond and low maintenance lawns of synthetic turf, bordered by mature trees and established hedgerows.
