Set on one of Lincoln's sought-after Uphill addresses, Greestone Terrace sits alongside the famous Greestone Steps, a landmark associated with local folklore. The historic setting gives the property an atmospheric backdrop, while its location places it close to the Cathedral Quarter and within a short walk of Lincoln city centre.
The main cottage is arranged over three storeys and retains a range of period features. At ground level, an inner hallway leads into the living room and kitchen, with a cellar providing useful additional space. The layout gives the principal house a distinctly traditional feel, with its accommodation spread across the floors rather than contained on one level.


Upstairs, the property's first-floor accommodation includes Bedroom One, which can also be used as a sitting room, alongside Bedroom Two with an en-suite WC. The second floor contains Bedroom Three and the family bathroom, completing the principal living accommodation.
A major attraction is the modern one-bedroom annex, which was recently constructed by the current owners. The self-contained annex includes its own reception room, kitchen/diner, bedroom and en-suite shower room, creating considerable flexibility for how the space could be used.
The additional accommodation could suit a range of needs, including multi-generational living or a home office. The listing also highlights its potential as an Airbnb or holiday let, with the property's location near the Cathedral Quarter and city centre adding to its appeal as an income-generating opportunity.
Outside, the private cottage-style garden occupies an elevated position and takes advantage of striking views across Lincoln. Several seating areas are joined by a covered pergola, paved terrace and decking, while cottage-style and herb planting add to the character of the outdoor space.
There is also a vegetable patch and two plum trees, with access to the annex from the garden. Together, the different areas create a varied outdoor setting that offers plenty of scope for sitting out and enjoying the elevated outlook close to the heart of the city.
For buyers concerned about moving chains, the property is offered with no onward chain. A nearby garage lease is also available, adding another practical feature to a home where location, historic character and flexible accommodation are central to its appeal.
This four-bedroom house in Lincoln is one of many homes available in the area through Purplebricks. Readers can view the full listing, photographs and booking details before deciding whether to arrange a viewing.
