Luxury city living

Bailgate Court offers a stunning first-floor apartment within a prestigious Grade II listed Georgian conversion in Lincoln with outstanding views of the city.

Situated in Lincoln’s historic Cathedral Quarter, one of the district’s most enviable and coveted locations, this outstanding 18th-century Grade II listed Georgian conversion offers an exceptional development of apartments.

Located on the first floor, this luxurious apartment features two en-suite bedrooms, a handmade bespoke kitchen and open-plan living with impressive ceiling heights throughout, offering spectacular views of Lincoln’s medieval cathedral and out over the city.

This stunning light-filled living space has been designed to the highest standard and complemented by impeccable interior design, which complements its striking architecture.

Bailgate Court was developed six years ago and has been beautifully maintained ever since. Its design perfectly blends period character with contemporary comforts, creating a home that is both charming and practical.

The current owner has lived here with his partner and young daughter since 2019, and describes it as “a truly wonderful place to call home”.

“The apartment has been the perfect size and setup for our family. It’s that rare combination of heritage and modern living. The building itself has such character, yet the apartments feel fresh and contemporary. Add to that a warm sense of community and a location that’s second to none, and it’s a very special place to live.

“The building was originally built in 1776 as Lincoln County Hospital, and was then converted into Lincoln Theological College sometime later prior to being thoughtfully converted into apartments, which gives it so much charm and personality.

“On our first viewing, we were instantly taken by the character of the building and the light, airy feel of the apartment. It felt both inviting and distinctive – somewhere we could immediately imagine ourselves living.

“Lincoln’s rich history and beautiful Cathedral Quarter immediately drew us in. The city has such a vibrant yet welcoming atmosphere – it felt like the perfect place to settle down.”

Designer interiors
Accessed via a well-proportioned entrance hallway, your eye is immediately drawn to the grand reception room, which benefits from high ceilings and tall, triple aspect windows that frame spectacular views.

The high-specification, open plan, bespoke handmade kitchen is finished with natural stone surfaces, integrated appliances, and an impressive oversized central island topped with matching natural stone.

Flowing seamlessly into the open-plan dining and sitting room, a real standout feature, this space enjoys exceptional views from three sides, making it ideal for socialising or entertaining. The apartment also benefits from a Sonos wireless speaker system, allowing you to stream music and audio content to multiple rooms.

The utility room, also with high ceilings, is fitted with a range of premium units and natural stone surfaces.

Steps lead down into the primary bedroom, which enjoys city views and tall ceilings, and opens into a stylish en-suite shower room. The second bedroom, also with a high-quality en-suite bathroom, enjoys uninterrupted views of the Cathedral through its east facing windows.

“There are 12 apartments in total, each with its own unique layout and character. Despite that, it feels very private and peaceful.

“The décor is neutral and tasteful, which allows the natural light and period details to shine through. The overall feel is elegant, calm, and welcoming.

“Our favourite space has to be the open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area. It’s where we spend most of our time together as a family – whether relaxing or entertaining – and the views make it even more special.

“The friendly community has been one of the highlights. Combined with the peaceful setting and the convenience of having Lincoln’s best amenities on the doorstep, it has made living here a real pleasure.”

Communal gardens
Bailgate Court is set within beautifully landscaped communal gardens, with lawned areas, mature native trees, and seating areas from which to enjoy the cityscape below.

Sam says these are beautifully maintained and offer a peaceful outdoor space, which “feels like such a luxury in the heart of the city”.

The apartment is accessed via tall electric security gates and includes two designated parking spaces within Bailgate Court’s private car park, along with access to visitor parking.

Additionally, there is a secure and convenient bike storage area located in an external store with private security access. The property further benefits from having infrastructure in place for the installation of an EV charger within the private gated car park.

“The Bailgate area has a charm all of its own, with historic streets, boutique shops, cafés, and of course the cathedral just moments away. It has the feel of a village community, but right in the heart of the city.

“The apartment would be ideal for someone who appreciates character and convenience – whether that’s a professional, a couple, family, or someone looking for a stylish city retreat.

“We will miss the peace and security, the character of the building, and above all, the unbeatable location. It has truly been a special place to live.”
