HISTORY The property is part of a Medieval complex dating back to 1258. The Medieval hall was built by Bishop Robert Grosseteste and is one of the only Medieval halls remaining in Lincoln. It has been owned by Lincoln Cathedral, up until the last few years and was used as a boarding house for the Cathedral choir boys for over 100 years. The property has undergone a comprehensive and sympathetic programme of improvements by the current owner using Lincolnshire limestone, solid wood, and high quality fittings throughout, carried out in line with planning permission and listed building consent. The property further benefits from planning permission to be extended further and for a loft conversion. There is a 10 year professional consultant certificate for the works that have been carried out to the property, as well as a full structural report and a timber specialist report. The property is in the final stages of renovation giving a potential purchaser opportunity to add their own touches if desired.
