About this property

Detailed Description

Originally commissioned by renowned artist Peter De Wint and his wife, Harriet Hilton, and set in the lea of the battlement walls of Lincoln Castle, this imposing Grade II Listed villa has been tastefully converted into four luxury period apartments.

This Apartment has been refurbished to an exceptional standard, with beautifully appointed accommodation arranged over two floors. To the first floor, the property features an inviting entrance hall, an elegant reception room, a bespoke Chiselwood dining kitchen, and a luxurious bathroom by Catchpole & Rye. An original staircase rises to the second floor, where there are two double bedrooms, each boasting vaulted ceilings and exposed beam work. The apartment also benefits from zoned underfloor heating throughout.

Externally, residents enjoy principally south-facing walled communal gardens, communal parking, a single garage, and a private store room.
