Flat/Apartment
Located in the heart of Uphill Bailgate, this exceptional duplex apartment offers a unique combination of historic character and modern specification. Originally a public house dating back to 1842, the building was carefully converted in 2012 into just four exclusive apartments—of which No. 9 is the largest and most impressive. Spanning two generous upper floors with a private roof terrace, this freehold apartment offers over 1,500 sq ft of bright, well-planned accommodation with stunning views of Lincoln Cathedral. Step outside onto Bailgate and you're in one of England's finest historic quarters. Lincoln Cathedral is moments from your door, while the surrounding streets offer independent shops, cafés, and restaurants. Lincoln Castle, the Lawn, and the city's cultural attractions are all within easy walking distance, yet the property benefits from secure gated parking—a genuine rarity in this sought-after location. The combination of historic character with modern luxury has created something genuinely special: a spacious, light-filled home with every modern convenience and a private roof terrace with Cathedral views. Properties of this quality, in this location, with freehold ownership and secure parking, rarely come to market. Early viewing is highly recommended.
The entrance hall features solid oak flooring and useful under-stairs storage, before opening into an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space.
The bespoke kitchen is fitted to high standards with integrated cupboard lighting, quality appliances including induction hob, combination oven and microwave, integrated fridge-freezer, and dishwasher. The granite work surface includes an instant hot and cold filtered water tap, while tiled splashbacks add practicality.
The lounge area is the real showpiece, with soaring ceilings, exposed original beams, and motorised skylights flooding the space with light. A feature fireplace with gas fire provides a focal point, while restored vintage brass lighting adds authentic character. The integrated TV and speaker system, bespoke cupboards, and original bookshelves demonstrate thoughtful design throughout. Large windows with fitted shutters frame views across the historic quarter, while exposed oak flooring completes this excellent living space.
A striking glass-walled staircase leads to the first floor where two double bedrooms are found. The principal guest bedroom has floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobes, shutters and blinds, and quality carpeting. The second bedroom continues the high standard with bespoke window treatments. The family bathroom offers both style and practicality: a separate bath and shower, double ceramic sinks, floating WC, and a floor-to-ceiling modern radiator. A separate cupboard houses the washer and dryer, while another contains the fully serviced Vaillant boiler.
The entire top floor is dedicated to an impressive master suite. An open-plan office/dressing room features a bespoke dressing table with spotlighting, three double floor-to-ceiling wardrobes, and generous storage. A glass door with luxury curtains opens onto the private roof terrace. This substantial outdoor space features premium tiling and glass balustrades, offering beautiful views across to Lincoln Cathedral and over Eastgate Tennis Club. Fitted with outdoor power sockets and a water tap, it's perfect for dining, relaxing, or enjoying the historic skyline. The master bedroom provides a peaceful retreat with floor-to-ceiling wardrobes, blackout curtains, and a skylight perfectly positioned to frame Cathedral views from your bed. The en-suite bathroom features a large walk-in multi-jet massage shower, chrome heated towel rail, bespoke fitted units, floating WC and sink, and a skylight providing natural light.
