Where is Lincolnshire?
Lincolnshire is the second-largest county in England. You’ll find it in the East Midlands region. It has a long North Sea coastline that makes up its eastern border. Then, working around from south to north, it borders Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, Rutland, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, South Yorkshire and the East Riding of Yorkshire.
Why live in Lincolnshire?
As one of the larger counties in England, Lincolnshire packs in plenty of variety in potential lifestyles and properties. If you want to live by the sea, the Lincolnshire coastline has everything from charming coastal villages like Chapel St Leonards, to Skegness, one of the UK’s favourite fun-filled seaside resort towns.
If a historic cathedral city is more your speed, Lincoln itself is the answer. A fusion of Ancient Roman and Medieval influences has created one of the most characterful and visually inspiring cities in the country. The Lincoln Cliff splits the city into its Uphill and Downhill areas, each with its own distinct characteristics. Lincoln Cathedral juts dramatically from high above the city, making for an imposingly beautiful sight visible from miles away. The centre of Lincoln is a walker’s delight too. Delightfully, it’s chock-full of winding streets that host innumerable hidden gems beyond your average city high street. Just bear in mind that it’s seriously steep on the way up, and down again!
What are average property prices in Lincolnshire like?
In October 2023, Zoopla recorded the average house price for Lincolnshire as nearly £226,000. Even with a minor rise in prices in recent months, this is still competitive when compared to the national average house price for England. The Office of National Statistics recorded this as £310,000 in August 2023. This makes Lincolnshire property around £85,000 cheaper than the national average.
Even within this reasonable average for the county, you can find even more inexpensive property prospects. Buying a flat in Lincolnshire is highly affordable, with a current average of around £121,000. Terraced houses go for around £140,000.
What’s outside of Lincoln?
As a largely arable and agricultural county, Lincolnshire is also full of peaceful villages set into a landscape of rolling greenery. This includes the Lincolnshire Wolds, a pristine area of outstanding natural beauty. This is where some of the best market towns and villages nestle into an idyllic landscape of tinkling streams, gentle hills and valleys. The likes of Louth, Horncastle, Spilsby and Woodhall Spa are just a few examples of the simple stunning locations on offer here.
Another big plus of living in Lincolnshire is the value for money on offer. As you’ll see in the next section, house prices are extremely competitive, even in the most desirable parts of the county.
