Description

Lot 100: Amenity Land, Woodland & Disused Railway South of South Park, Lincoln LN5 — Guide Price £10,000
1.6-acre (6,877 sq m) parcel of woodland, amenity land and disused railway ground for sale south of South Park, Lincoln LN5 — freehold, guide price £10,000, auction 23rd September 2026.

The Location

Situated south of South Park in Lincoln LN5, this freehold plot sits within one of the city's most established residential pockets, close to the South Common and within easy reach of Lincoln city centre, the Cathedral Quarter and Lincoln Castle. Buyers searching for land for sale in Lincoln LN5 will find the site well connected, with local bus routes and road links via the A15 and A1434 into the wider city network.

The surrounding area is known for its mix of period housing, green open space and easy access into town, making it a popular part of Lincoln for both residents and land buyers looking for a foothold in a sought-after postcode.

The Property

Lot 100 comprises approximately 1.6 acres (6,877 sq m STMS) of mixed amenity land, incorporating a stretch of disused railway line and established woodland. The site also includes areas that lend themselves to allotment or small-scale growing use, subject to the buyer's own enquiries and any necessary consents.

This is a genuinely varied plot for anyone searching for woodland for sale in Lincoln, amenity land for sale near South Park, or disused railway land for sale — a combination that's rarely available at this guide price. The mature tree cover and former railway corridor give the land real character, while its size offers scope for a range of uses, from conservation and amenity ownership to leisure or growing space.

Outside

The land itself is the outside space — a self-contained block bordered by established trees and the line of the old railway, offering privacy and a genuinely green setting so close to the city. It's well suited to buyers looking for land with woodland, wildlife or recreational appeal, rather than a manicured garden plot.

Auction Details

Lot 100 is offered freehold with a guide price of £10,000 and goes under the hammer on 23rd September 2026 at 12 noon. As with all lots, the guide price is not necessarily reflective of the final reserve price, which may be set up to 10% above or below the guide.

A legal pack is available to download ahead of the sale, and interested buyers are strongly advised to review this, along with the standard 10% deposit on the fall of the hammer, buyer's premium of 2% inc VAT, and £1,000 + VAT admin fee per lot, before registering to bid.

For anyone searching for land for auction in Lincoln, woodland for sale LN5, or amenity land with development or leisure potential, Lot 100 offers a rare and affordably guided entry point into the South Park area.
