HISTORY The property is a Grade II Listed building because it has a high level of historical, architectural and archaeological interest and for the evidence it provides to the understanding of the historical development of Uphill Lincoln within the Roman walls, and particularly as surviving evidence of a large medieval housing complex. It addresses James Street, that has remained generally unaltered since at least the 17th Century and is a key element in the historical fabric of the Cathedral Quarter. The property is a former Cathedral Choir boarding house dating back to the 15th Century. James Street is regarded as being one of the most sought after private addresses in Lincolnshire, accessed opposite Lincoln Cathedral, with number 18 tucked away in a peaceful and exclusive position.  

LOCATION The historic Cathedral and University City of Lincoln has the usual High Street shops and department stores, plus banking and allied facilities, multiplex cinema, Marina and Art Gallery.
