Viewing Request for Riseholme Road, Lincoln

Historically known as "Beechwood," this period detached residence of nearly 2,000 SqFt was commissioned during the elegant interwar era along the leafy, prestigious corridor heading north toward the Riseholme Estate. For decades, this property served as the private home of Barbara May Curtis, a legendary matriarch of the Curtis of Lincoln - Lincoln’s most celebrated baking and butchery family- offering an unbroken link to the city's rich history. After generations of the Curtis family living above their original 19th-century High Street shop, this house was chosen to represent the family's ultimate success, offering a refined suburban escape surrounded by mature landscaping. The character of the interwar era is on display the moment you step through the beautiful stained-glass front door into the impressive entrance hall. The interior retains its original 1930s charm, featuring gorgeous parquet flooring, solid wood panelling with original architraves, all windows are double-glazed, decorative coving, and elegant ceiling roses. The ground floor offers plenty of space for a growing family, with two distinct reception rooms, including a main lounge and formal dining room, with both spaces centered around classic Art Deco-inspired fireplaces. There is a centrepoint kitchen with modern upgrades but also features an Aga, pantry, classical WC, utility room, and access to a scullery. Upstairs, the home layout works perfectly for modern family life, featuring four bedrooms - two of which have their own en-suite shower rooms and Art-Deco fireplaces. Completing the first floor is a main family bathroom, a useful separate WC with original tiling, and a spacious landing. Outside, the property sits on a generous plot with an extensive multi-vehicle driveway and a secure double garage. The established gardens have space for enjoying the sun throughout the day and evening, with a patio area providing the perfect space for entertaining and socialising with guests. The location is ideal for family life, offering easy access to excellent local schools and everyday amenities. It also benefits from a premium uphill position, putting you just a short distance from the independent shops of the Bailgate and the historic grounds of Lincoln Cathedral. This is a fantastic opportunity to own a spacious, character-filled family home with a truly unique story to tell. Council tax band: E. Freehold.
