The Dower House, Lincoln, LN4

A substantial country house (of over 9,800 square feet) in the desirable and exclusive village of Canwick, with superb views of the Witham Valley and Lincoln Cathedral, sitting on a mature plot with superbly maintained private gardens.

A perfect mix of living in leafy Canwick, Lincoln’s best kept secret, with superb access to the historic City of Lincoln. It is loved by its residents (numbering around 333) and was recently voted one of the coolest places to live in the UK! There are both Victorian and ultra modern properties sited on impressive plots in the village, yet is only less than 2-hours by train to London.

The Dower House sits proudly within the parish and is currently divided into 6 apartments, including the owners significant apartment measuring a whopping 2314 square feet.

Most of the apartments have been painstakingly refurbished by the current owner retaining many original period features, including high ceilings, wood panelling and ornate fireplaces, adding to their timeless charm. By contrast, apartment 4 has been given a modern twist with a stylish, high specification kitchen and island. Apartment 3, a personal favourite, with its distant views of Lincoln Cathedral, exudes a calm and peaceful ambiance and also overlooks the serene rear gardens.

There are some serious development opportunities to create a penthouse apartment on the 2nd floor and the owners accommodation could be easily split to create an additional apartment. The current business could then be expanded to 7-high end luxury apartments for the short term rental market and attract increased revenue.
Conversely, The Dower House, in it’s current format, could provide total privacy for an extended family or could be converted to one very large family dwelling.

Be prepared to be amazed at this super, unique property; you have been forewarned!
