TO LET
THE LAWNThe main building was developed in 1819 as a purpose built hospital for the pioneering treatment and rehabilitation of the mentally ill. The main complex still retains many original elements and the whole site is listed as of Special Architectural or Historic Interest (Grade II).
The hospital site and buildings were extended over many years but vacated about 30 years ago when the City Council purchased it from the NHS to extend public accessibility and tourist interest in the historic uphill area.
To attract fresh investment and new ideas to the site the Council have sold the buildings to R W Stokes while retaining the parkland areas and securing a major extension to the on-site public car parking.
Within the property Stokes have relocated their coffee roasting operations, training, commercial sales and head office, and have re-opened and are managing a major first floor performance space.
The balance of the accommodation except for the restaurant has been let off for other retail, leisure and office uses compatible with the vision that Stokes and the Council have for the site as a whole. Charlotte House will remain as a Boutique Hotel.
The core restaurant space proposed, including an approved extension, is shown shaded blue on the Site Plan adjacent and on the Ground Floor Plan and the potential additional space is shown hatched blue on both plans.
2SITE PLAN
LOCATIONLincoln is a major retail and tourist destination and the administrative capital of Lincolnshire.
It continues to be an important specialist engineering centre but the last 20 years have also seen it develop as a major educational centre with the University of Lincoln less than half a mile south of the subject property with over 14,000 students and BG University a specialist teaching centre just over half a mile to the north east. Over £20m was recently spent on the restoration of the adjoining Lincoln Castle with its Magna Carta Vault while east of the Castle the magnificent Lincoln Cathedral attracts 3.7 million visitors a year.
SITUATIONAs can be seen in the photograph on the rear cover, the Cathedral commands the hillside but the Castle and The Lawn complete the set of outstanding heritage buildings overlooking the City Centre, linked by a new open pedestrian route through the Castle. They are woven into the historic fabric of uphill Lincoln by a maze of Streets and buildings established over 2000 years.
The many restaurants in the area tend to be independents in relatively small properties. The retail spine is Steep Hill and Bailgate with Castle Square as the focal point but car parking is at a premium and the newly extended parking facilities on site will provide a major facility for tourists and residents alike.
The high quality city centre shopping area itself is less than half a mile to the south.

RESTAURANT PREMISES Designed as the main restaurant premises at The Lawn, planning permission has been obtained for A3 and A4 use and for construction of a largely glazed extension illustrated on the CGI on page 5, to improve the configuration of this part of what was previously function room space and to provide net useable floor space of about 420 m² (4,500 sq ft). These premises are shaded blue.
Two operational car spaces are available with the premises.
The restaurant area can be extended if required and subject to availability, into Suite 2 (hatched blue), to bring the total net useable floor space up to about 500 m² (5,300 sq ft). A third operational car space is reserved for letting with Suite 2.
The profile of these premises has been significantly enhanced by knocking through into the adjacent former shop unit (see red arrows on the layout plan) to create a new entrance from the main concourse.
Additionally an extensive terrace will be constructed facing Union Road and the western Castle walls to create a significant outside seating area in an attractive setting but retaining an intimate feel.
Within the part shell layout, specific tenant requirements should be able to be accommodated so long as they do not impact adversely on the character of this Grade 2* Listed building.
