Developers have now released designs of the new Bailgate Court flats in the former Chad Varah House site in Lincoln.

Work is set for completion later this year and the upmarket properties are now up for sale.

The 239-year-old former residential college site on Wordsworth Street is currently being transformed into two, three and four bedroom flats and houses, with prices ranging from £350,000 to £1 million.

In these properties, which were approved by councillors in February 2017, private parking space will be allocated to all units.

With a view of Lincoln Castle, the development will also house a duplex penthouse.

The 18th century house was sold in September 2016 to Dean Draper of Peach Estates, who formed a joint company with developers Philip Good and Colin Holden.

The properties are marketed by Humberts estate agents.

Coffee lovers can mark their calendars as Starbucks’ first drive-thru in Lincoln is set to open its doors at the end of this month.

Opening on February 26, the coffee chain’s drive-thru is located at Roman Gate off Nettleham Road, next to the Fit4Less gym.

The store will be operated in partnership with K Beverage.

Approximately 30 new jobs will be created with the opening of this store.

This will be the fourth Starbucks cafe in Lincoln following branches on the High Street, Tritton Road and Brayford Pool (Holiday Inn).
