5 bed detached house for sale

Carlton Road, Louth LN11

Beeches is a house built for space, quiet and independence. It stands in just under an acre of private, mature grounds in Manby, near Louth, with approximately 3,400 sq ft of accommodation. Individually designed and built in 1989, it has since been upgraded where it matters most for modern living.

Owned solar panels feed a Tesla home battery with ups that backs up the whole house. When the grid goes down, the house carries on: Lights, heating controls, broadband and any home office stay on. Starlink provides broadband of around 200 Mbps. The heating was renewed in 2023–24 around a new Worcester Highflow combi boiler. Water is filtered and softened throughout, with a separate Aquathin purifier at the kitchen sink for drinking.

Professional soundproofing sits between the kitchen and the principal bedroom, and between the lounge and the two bedrooms above. At the top of the house, a vaulted cinema room has Dolby Atmos sound from seven built-in speakers, an in-wall screen and a projector, all included in the sale.

The ground floor has a 25ft breakfast kitchen with a wood-burning stove, central island and range cooker, a 31ft garden room with a glazed roof, a lounge opening onto the sun terrace, and a separate office or dining room. A ground-floor bedroom and shower room suit guests, or a relative who would rather avoid stairs. Upstairs, a galleried landing leads to the principal suite, with its private balcony, dressing area and travertine wet room. There are three further bedrooms, a family wet room with a double-ended bath and underfloor heating, and the cinema room.

Outside, the south-facing lawn is framed by mature trees. There is a raised sun terrace, gazebos, a loggia and greenhouses, plus a double garage with Tesla EV charger, a powered workshop, a carport and generous parking.

The house also runs as a successful holiday let, rated 4.74 on Airbnb, and can be sold fully furnished. Trading figures are available to serious buyers on request; please pass those enquiries to me.

Manby is about 10 minutes' drive from the market town of Louth, 20 minutes from the beach and 50 minutes from Lincoln. Offered with no forward chain.
