A unique and quirky 200-year-old three-bedroom gate lodge which was originally part of Rokeby Hall Estate is on the market with a tempting price tag.

The charming gate lodge and artist's studio is set in a tranquil and private setting near Dunleer, close by to the M1 motorway. The current owner purchased the property in 2012 and undertook an extension and partial restoration, featuring an impressive facade with symmetrical flanking walls. While requiring some upgrades internally, the house offers great renovation potential.

In all, the accommodation extends to about 1,461 sq ft, including the adjacent studio/writing room which extends to about 213 sq ft and is ideal for use as a creative space or a home office. The gate lodge is complimented by well-maintained gardens creating a tranquil atmosphere which is ideal for those seeking a retreat property. It is listed with an asking price of €350,000 on Daft.ie.
