An incredible seven-bedroom period property in Louth has been put on the market for over £1 million, and it comes with a host of enviable features.

The property on Manby Road has been listed by William H Brown in Skegness for £1.3 million.

As well as having four reception rooms and three bathrooms, this house also comes with an outdoor swimming pool and three holiday let cottages, that each have three bedrooms.

That’s not all, as there are also two stable blocks and extensive private parking space at the front and rear of the property.

There is a long gravelled driveway leading to the holiday parking area, extending beyond the house to the front for access to main house parking.

There have been 71 new coronavirus cases and no COVID-related deaths in Greater Lincolnshire on Thursday, compared to 63 cases and two deaths this time last week.

The government’s COVID-19 dashboard recorded 44 new cases in Lincolnshire, 22 in North Lincolnshire and five in North East Lincolnshire.

On Thursday, no deaths were registered in Greater Lincolnshire. These figures include deaths both in and out of hospitals, as well as residents in hospitals outside the county.

NHS England has also reported no new local hospital deaths across Greater Lincolnshire’s four hospital trusts, which currently stand at 1,304 since the pandemic started.

National cases increased by 2,613 to 4,428,553, while deaths rose by 13 to 127,583.

In local news, nearly a third of Lincolnshire residents have received their second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, but the number of jabs being given out dropped by 17% last week, according to the latest figures.

Data released on Thursday shows altogether 634,706 jabs have taken place in the county between December 8 and May 2 — a further 38,553 in the last week, and down on the 46,631 jabs given the week before.

In national headlines, the UK is set to relax restrictions for visiting a handful of countries under a new traffic light system.

Those returning to the UK from countries on the green list will not need to self-isolate for 10 days, while visitors to countries on the amber list will have to quarantine and get tested upon return.

However, holidaymakers arriving at UK airports could face queues of up to 10 hours this summer as COVID-19 protocols will lead to huge delays, according to the Border Force union and an international travel group.

The ISU – the union for borders, immigration and customs workers – is predicting huge queues at passport control due to the increased coronavirus checks required of passengers arriving into the UK.

The £21 million Lincoln Medical School is coming to the end of construction ahead of welcoming students this autumn.

The five-storey purpose-built facility will offer laboratories, lecture theatres, study areas and even clinical skills and anatomy suites for around 400 University of Lincoln students each year.

As well as this, mock consultation rooms that simulate hospital wards will be inside the medical school to help students gain experience in their chosen field.

It will be the most environmentally friendly building on the Brayford Pool campus of the university, with photovoltaic panels covering the roof and walls to provide zero carbon electricity.

Take a sneak peek inside the Lincoln Medical School here.

A timelapse video uploaded by the university shows the progression of the building’s construction, from the first moments to the final cinematic shots of the exterior being finished.

Lincoln Medical School’s steel frame was completed in May 2020, and equipment is being moved into the building ahead of its opening.

It is hoped that the works will be completed in time to welcome medical students for study this autumn.

The project has been part-funded by Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership.

Prof Danny McLaughlin, Dean of Medicine, said: “Creating a medical school for Lincolnshire has been an aspiration for many years and we are now realising that goal.

“It’s something the whole community can be proud of, and which will serve the people of Lincolnshire for generations to come.”
