Generally speaking properties in Lincolnshire in the UK are cheap compared to many other parts of the country. In terms of housing and population, it is now the second fastest growing county with the intention following government funding of creating 12,000 new jobs and 14,000 new homes in the area by 2026.
The county is in the East Midlands with a long coastline along the North Sea. It has a population of 1,087,659 and its county town is Lincoln.
Although properties in Lincolnshire can be considered cheaper than elsewhere, there can be large disparities in prices within the county. In this article we will look at the most expensive areas in Lincolnshire to buy a three bedroom house.
Crowland
The fifth most expensive place to buy property in Lincolnshire is Crowland, where a home with 3 bedrooms will cost £200,000, although sometimes bargains do come up for much less.
This medieval town which appears in the Domesday Book contains the ruins of Crowland Abbey and the three sided Trinity Bridge.
Crowland is small with a population of 4,211 (in 2011) and has one primary school but no secondary school. It is not far though from the larger towns of Spalding and Peterborough.
Saxilby
Coming in at number 4 on our list is the ancient village of Saxilby, where a relevant house will cost on average £201,000.
Saxilby is located in West Lindsey 6 miles north west of Lincoln. It has good transport links with its own railway station, with many commuting to Lincoln for work. There are a few shops and a primary schools in this village, which has a population of around 4,000.
This was inhabited in Roman times with the archeological remains of a Roman camp just outside the town.
Branston
Number 3 on our countdown of most expensive places is Branston, where an average house costs £210,000. There are not many properties that come on the market here though. Occasionally you may see 3 bedroom houses below £200,000 but on the safer side, it will cost upwards of the £210,000 figure.

There are various buildings from the past scattered around the village including Rectory House and Branston Hall, both from the eighteenth century.
Woodhall Spa
Coming in second of our most expensive areas in Lincolnshire is Woodhall Spa, where a house with three bedrooms will cost on average £240,000.
This town was established in Victorian times, which sets it apart from many of the older historic settlements in Lincolnshire. Originally in the area, businessmen were looking for coal. Instead they found water which flooded the mine shafts, bringing an end to the coal searching. But the water was tested and it was found to have beneficial mineral qualities. Therefore wells and then spa hotels were built leading to this new Victorian town.
Much of the centre of Woodhall Spa has been designated a conservation area.
Tattershall
Number one of most expensive areas goes to the attractive village of Tattershall, where a property with 3 bedrooms will cost on average £260,000.
This village is located in East Lindsey and has a population of 2,834 (in 2011). It has the remains of a castle built in 1434, with the Grand Tower still standing.
The current Lord Mayor of Tattershall is Julien Fellowes who wrote the screenplay for Downton Abbey.
