A three-bedroom self-built ultra-modern home in Skegness with energy efficiency and new technology at the heart of the concept has been listed on the market for £1 million.
Five Aces Crescent in Skegness has been listed by nationwide estate agents Strike at a guide price of £1 million, and you get plenty of bang for your buck. See the full listing on Strike’s website here.
The large open plan design of the home is the brainchild of the original owner of the self-built home, offering underfloor heating throughout the upstairs and downstairs of the property, as well as in the triple garage.
The kitchen comes with a wifi enabled oven and coffee machine, complete with two warming drawers, a large induction hob and a drop-down extractor with a glass surround.
The property has an enclosed garden space on a five-house gated community. | Photo: Strike
If that wasn’t enough, the main sink has a four tap function, offering hot, cold, boiling and filtered water, while the second prep sink has a waste disposal unit.
As well as this, the property offers full house coverage with CCTV and alarm systems and smart light switches in all rooms, all powered by a central media centre within the snug lounge.
The snug itself comes with a twist, as the room converts into a full Dolby atmosphere cinema room thanks to a drop-down projector and separate screen.
Let’s take a closer look inside:

IconInc will carry out a £5 million expansion to its luxury student accommodation in Lincoln after purchasing vacant land adjacent to the existing building.
The company opened its “seven-star” £20 million student flats development called Gravity on Mint Lane in September 2020, which even has a private cinema with popcorn machine, and a slide. The 134 luxury apartment building was developed by the Parkland Group under its IconInc brand.
The second phase of the accommodation – Todson House – will provide an additional 41 apartments, which are set to be completed in September 2023. IconInc said the apartments will be designed to the same “excellent high-standard specification but will be in a cluster room format”.
The current accommodation at Gravity has seven types of luxury studios to choose from.
The studios include the Elegance apartments.
Around £5 million will be invested in the expansion with demolition works beginning at the start of March ready for the site to be completed by September 2023.

Noor Ahmed, head of IconInc, said: “We’re delighted that our future vision for expansion is taking shape with firm plans in place to… extend the development in Lincoln.
“Offering design-led, superior quality and affordable accommodation is at the heart of what we are all about. We want to provide the best possible experience of student life, and it has been amazing to see the impact Gravity has had on its residents.
“We believe there is nothing that rivals our incredible accommodation and know there is a huge demand for luxury student living.”
The facilities at Gravity include complimentary breakfast seven days a week, private dining rooms, chill out pods, a gym with personal trainers, cinema room with popcorn machine, amphitheatre, sauna and steam room, and more.
Katie Armitage, a second year student studying at the University of Lincoln, spoke about her experience of Gravity saying: “These are fabulous apartments – so spacious and stylish. All the staff are very friendly and always willing to go the extra mile!
“The close location to Lincoln high street and university makes it especially convenient, not to mention the fact that the stunning Lincoln cathedral is a mere ten-minute walk away! I would highly recommend this accommodation to any student in Lincoln – even if just for the delicious, complimentary breakfast and hot drinks!”
There are communal spaces to relax in at Gravity.
This comes after IconInc were awarded ‘Best Luxury Student Accommodation Provider’ by Build 2020 Real Estate Property Awards.
Gravity was also recently named as a finalist for ‘Best Commercial Build’ in the Northern Design Awards 2021, as well as being shortlisted for the LABC Building Excellence Award 2021 for ‘Best Purpose Built Accommodation’.
Grimsby’s New Look store is to close at the end of January after the landlords decided to end the lease agreement early.
The store in Freshney Place will have its last day of trading on Sunday, January 30, closing down for good at the end of this week.
It is expected to be replaced by a new Poundland, due to the old store being demolished to make way for the Top Town Market in Grimsby.
The New Look store is currently having a 70% off sale and has informed customers they have until January 30, the last day of trading, to return items.
It is not believed to be a wider issue across New Look stores, and simply just a landlord decision to exit the lease earlier than expected.
A New Look spokesperson said: “Regrettably the New Look store in Freshney Place will be closing in January after the landlord decided to exit the lease early. Whilst it was therefore not our decision to close the store, we are focusing on supporting our store colleagues and where possible finding alternative roles for them within the business.
“Customers will still be able to shop the styles they love online at newlook.com or by downloading our app.”
A spokesperson for Freshney Place confirmed the shopping centre was not New Look’s landlord.
