The Balconies (apartment)

Home description

Part of a small development of just five stylish apartments, this recently built property is finished to a high standard, comes fully equipped with all the 'mod cons', and can be your perfect 'home from home' for visiting Lincoln and its surrounding attractions and countryside. Though located in Lincoln's leafy southern suburbs, the heart of this historic city, with its magnificent cathedral, wonderful castle, cobbled streets, pubs, shops and restaurants is just 5 minutes drive or a 30 minute riverside walk away.

And after a hard day's sightseeing, discovering Lincoln's history and culture, visiting pretty villages, walking in the countryside or exploring the nearby coastline, there's even an indoor heated swimming pool to slip into.

With the amenities of 'The Forum' shopping centre just a kilometre away, and an Asda supermarket 2 km away, shopping for provisions could not be easier.

More than one apartment may be available if accommodation required for a family or larger group - please enquire.

Ample space in the lounge to relax	Nothing missing in this well-equipped kitchen!
10 x 5 metres - larger than many hotels	New mattress to ensure a great night's rest

The Heart of England / Peak District / Lincolnshire region

Lincolnshire is often mistakenly thought of as 'flat'. But anyone who has puffed up Lincoln's magificent 'Steep Hill' to enjoy stunning views out across the county will refute that. As will those who have enjoyed walks in the wonderful rolling hills of the Lincolnshire Wolds.

The countryside surrounding Lincoln offers lovely walks and cycleways, pretty villages with characterful country pubs, quiet fishing spots and a number of good golf courses. But there are also bustling market towns well worth a visit, like Grantham - home to Isaac Newton and Margaret Thatcher - Boston (from where the Pilgrim Fathers sailed to America), and Stamford, one of the finest stone towns in the country. There are international air shows such as Waddington (we are, after all, home to the world-renowned 'Red Arrows' and the Lancaster, Spitfire and Hurricae of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight ). And there are more castles, formal gardens, mansions and stately homes than you could shake a stick at (Doddington Hall, Belton House, Burghley House and Tattershall and Belvoir Castles to name just a few). There are beaches for the nature lover - where seals come to have their pups in December and January - and also beaches for those who prefer amusement parks and candy floss. And there is Sherwood Forest, home to the Major Oak and Robin Hood (whose men were dressed, of course, in Lincoln green).

So whether its a city break, exploring the history of Roman Lincoln, a spot of golf or fishing, some walking or cycling in peaceful countryside, or even a bit of plane spotting, Lincolnshire has something to offer everyone.

Lincoln area

Lincoln itself, once the Roman garrison town of Lindum Colonia, is dominated by a truly magnificent 900 year old cathedral (currently home to a pair of Peregrine Falcons, one of which is to be seen on occasion in the garden of the apartment!). The 3rd largest and 2nd tallest in Britain, Lincoln Cathedral is one of the finest examples of early English architecture in the country. And in fact, before a storm toppled its spires in 1547, it was actually the tallest building in the world, having taken that accolade from the great pyramid of Giza!

Whilst the cathedral alone would merit a visit to the city, it also has a Roman castle that contains one of the only copies of the Magna Carta, and a 'historic quarter' full of Roman ruins, cobblestones, 'oldy worldy' shops and museums.

And that's aside from the more modern attractions of the many shops, bars, restaurants and multi screen cinema that are to be found 'downhill', around the Brayford Pool, historically a busy inland port, now a haven for waterbirds and the site of the new state of the art Lincoln University.

The Lincoln Christmas market (4-7 Dec) attracts thousands of people every year, including many from abroad. The Lincolnshire Agricultural Show is 24-25 June in 2009 and the Waddington Air Show in 2009 is 4-5 July.

How to get there

The property is in Lincoln's leafy southern suburbs, on the A1434 about 3 km into Lincoln from the A46 ring road.

Lincoln is 15 miles (or a 20-minute drive) from the A1 and it is fairly close to motorways. The main routes into Lincoln are the A46 (Grimsby, Leicester), the A57 (Worksop, Sheffield), A15 (Sleaford, Hull) and the A158 (Skegness). Motorway links and main roads: A1, M1, M62, M180.

The train from London Kings Cross to Lincoln Central takes aproximately 1 1/2 hours.
