AN IMPRESSIVE rural lodge with around seven acres of land and a unique surprise feature hidden in the bedroom is on the market for £2 million.
Stanedge Lodge in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, boasts outstanding views and huge development potential in a stunning location in the Peak District National Park.
The eight bedroom home includes many period features including large fireplaces, bay windows and cornicing throughout.
It was originally built by the Duke of Newcastle as a shooting lodge and later used as a home for sick children in the 1950s and 1960s.
However, a more recent feature has been installed in one of the bedrooms and is sure to grab the attention of new buyers.
A seven metre tall climbing wall, complete with climbing holds and peg holes, is shown erected at the side of a bed in the large room.
A large finger board, used by climbers to train and improve finger strength, has been added to the bottom of a mezzanine level overlooking the room and climbing wall.
If the impressive climbing wall is not enough, the property also comes with a Victorian wine cellar.
Images of the living room show three swords laying on a coffee table across from a large stone fireplace.
The kitchen and dining area includes a double sized butler sink and a four oven oil fired AGA.
Other images show spacious rooms and modernised bathrooms around the large home.
However, other areas of the house will require renovation work.
Estate agents Saxton Mee describe the property as: “A unique and imposing eight bedroom, six bathroom detached residence with outstanding views and huge development potential, which occupies a fabulous position in the Peak District National Park.
“The property enjoys a substantial and secluded plot of around seven acres.
“The masses of versatile living accommodation includes an entrance vestibule with access into the spacious stone floored entrance hall, which spans the full width of the rear of the lodge.
“One of these bedrooms has a mezzanine level, a seven metre high climbing wall, and two Velux windows with remote controlled solar powered blinds.”
House-browsers have commented on social media after spotting the quirky bedroom feature.
One person said: “There’s a pile of swords on the lounge coffee table and a climbing wall in the bedroom, as you do.”
Another said: “Yes, the ‘interest in climbing’ is always a useful excuse for having so many ropes in the bedroom.”
While another browser said: “A bit out of my price range but I love the idea of a climbing wall in a bedroom – not for me obvs but for my grandson when he’s grown a bit.”
