A distinctive one-bedroom lodge guarding a Grade II listed Georgian Country House in Grimston, York, is on the market for £250,000.
Sunset Lodge is one of an identical pair of symmetrical 10ft x 8ft gatehouses that flank the main drive leading to Grimston Park. The two-storey property is built from beautiful Limestone Ashlar blocks and features a number of unique architectural details, including a stepped roof topped by a kneeling figure of a warrior.
The lodge's ground-floor includes a mezzanine bedroom with a double bunk bed and dressing area beneath, a kitchen with an orangery-style roof, and a sunken patio. The bathroom is built into the original barrel-ceilinged cellar, meaning most of the accommodation is underground.
Outside, Sunset Lodge has access to the parkland on the Grimston estate, along with its own generous garden surrounded by mature hedging and a dwarf wall topped by cast iron railings. The Georgian mansion itself has been converted into luxury homes.
On either side there are stunning views of Grimston Park and the associated parkland which stretches down to the banks of the River Wharfe, with Tadcaster visible in the distance.
Sunset Lodge is being sold through estate agents Carter Jonas for £250,000.
