A gigantic house in North Lincolnshire with 17 bedrooms, an indoor swimming pool, ornamental pond and even a trampoline inside has been put up for sale at a modest price of £700,000.
The detached property in North Ewster, near Scunthorpe, has been listed by Century 21 Doncaster, who say one side is being used as a family home, while the other has ‘huge potential for business use’.
Comprising of 17 bedrooms and bathrooms, two large living areas, a games area with a pool table and trampoline, as well as a sauna and indoor swimming pool, the £700,000 home seems a bargain considering the features that come with it.

Outside, there is a fountain and an ornamental pond, plus plenty of garden space for wildlife to freely roam around in.
The history of the property shows that it was originally built as the Tide Race Hotel and restaurant, before later being used as a nursing home and then a family house.
Let’s take a look inside:

Celebrated Lincolnshire actor, comedian and author Robert Webb will sashay onto the in Strictly Come Dancing 2021 stage, producers have confirmed.
Boston-born Webb, best known for his double act with David Mitchell in TV show Peep Show is no stranger to the dance floor – he won Let’s Dance for Comic Relief in 2009.
The BAFTA award-winning star said: “I am ludicrously excited to be taking part in Strictly this year.
“It’s a big, generous, joyful show and I can’t wait to get packed into a spandex onesie and fired from a glitter cannon directly at Claudia Winkleman. At least I think that’s what happens.
The first celebrities have been confirmed for this year’s Strictly Come Dancing
“My goal is to try to survive from week to week without causing serious injury to myself or innocent bystanders. I know it’s going to be a challenge. To do well in this competition is a test of character, although mainly it’s a test of dancing.”
The show will kick off this autumn, and Webb will join the likes of McFly’s Tom Fletcher and TV presenter AJ Odudu.
2012 winner of the Great British Bake Off John Whaite will also be part of the first all-male couple on the show.
Robert Webb spent much of his childhood in Woodhall Spa and attended school in Horncastle.
He spoke to The Lincolnite in 2019 about growing up in the county, masculinity and lessons from his career.
Changes to the government’s travel list will see fully-vaccinated passengers from France no longer having to isolate.
The new rules, which come in from 4am on Sunday, August 8, will see Austria, Germany, Latvia, Norway, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia move to green list on the government’s traffic light system.
Meanwhile, Bahrain, India, Qatar and UAE will move to the amber list from the red list. And Georgia, Mayotte, Mexico and Reunion will move to the red list.
The move aligns France with the rest of the amber list, now that the proportion of beta variant cases has fallen in the country.
Arrivals from popular holiday destination Spain, and all of its islands, don’t need to quarantine either, but are now advised to use a PCR test as their pre-departure test wherever possible.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said: “We are committed to opening up international travel safely, taking advantage of the gains we’ve made through our successful vaccination programme, helping connect families, friends and businesses around the world.
“While we must continue to be cautious, today’s changes reopen a range of different holiday destinations across the globe, which is good news for both the sector and travelling public.”
The changes mean the total number of green list places will rise from 29 to 36.
Health and Social Care Secretary Sajid Javid said: “As we learn to live with this virus, we are continuing to take steps to safely reopen international travel based on the latest data and expert public health advice.
“The vaccines have already prevented around 60,000 deaths and 22 million infections in England and, with over 7 in 10 adults in the UK now double-jabbed, we are building a wall of defence against the disease.
“As well as moving more countries to the green list, today’s announcement also demonstrates the need for continued caution. Further countries have been added to the red list to help protect the success of our vaccine rollout from the threat of new variants.”
