7 bed country house for sale

The Dower House, Lincoln LN4

Less than two hours by train to London and just 1.5-miles away from the historic city of Lincoln, The Dower House offers the perfect blend of exclusive village living with city convenience, offering that rare balance of country walks and vibrant city life, boutique shopping, and fine dining.

Nestled within leafy Canwick - Lincoln’s best-kept secret - this exclusive village is cherished by its close-knit community for its sense of peace, charm and quiet sophistication. A beautiful blend of characterful period residences and architectural showpieces, each set on generous plots, Canwick offers a rare balance of privacy, prestige and timeless appeal, making it one of Lincolnshire’s most desirable addresses.

Standing proudly within the village, The Dower House is a substantial Victorian residence, currently arranged as six self-contained apartments, including the impressive owner’s accommodation spanning over 2,300 sq ft.

Over recent years, the property has been sympathetically restored by its current custodians, preserving the original grandeur while introducing subtle modern refinements. Expect high ceilings, intricate panelling, decorative fireplaces and grand proportions that echo the home’s distinguished heritage.

The Dower House has endless possibilities; it can operate as a turnkey luxury, short term letting business business providing income from Day-1 and is highly rated on by the many guests who continue to return to enjoy this boutique retreat. Alternatively, it can be utilised as a grand family home which could easily provide spacious and private multi-generational living.

Several apartments have been thoughtfully refurbished, with particular highlights being Apartment 4 which showcases a stylish, high-specification kitchen that bring a contemporary twist to the period setting and Apartment 3, with its distant views of Lincoln Cathedral, offering a peaceful retreat filled with natural light.

A standout feature of The Dower House lies in its beautifully landscaped grounds and gardens lovingly designed, nurtured, and perfected by the current owner over the past 25 years. Each apartment enjoys access to these serene outdoor spaces, where carefully curated planting and mature greenery create a tranquil sanctuary rarely found so close to the city.

For those with vision, The Dower House offers remarkable scope for enhancement and development. From the potential to create a stunning penthouse apartment on the second floor, to the option of subdividing the owner’s extensive suite to form an additional residence, the possibilities are inspiring. Together, these refinements could deliver seven luxurious apartments, ideal for the premium short-stay market, or six apartments with a distinguished owner’s residence for those wishing to live on-site while managing their investment. Alternatively, the apartments could be sold-off individually, creating some of the best apartment ownership opportunities in the county.

This is a home that inspires creativity, rewards ambition, and radiates heritage.

Prepare to be captivated - The Dower House is truly one of a kind.
