THIS PROPERTY IN Sligo is certainly unique.
‘West Gate Lodge’ is a 19th-century building that would have acted as an entrance to Markee Castle and has been converted into stylish one-bedroom property. It is said to be one of the best examples of Gothic revival architecture in Ireland.
The lodge itself sits in an elevated position back from the Sligo-Dublin Road. It was still in use as the entrance to the the Markee estate until the 1950s and has been extensively modernised in recent times to act as a single residence.
Inside the property has a large double bedroom, a lounge area, and a bathroom. It also has the added benefit of a loft room that can be used for a number of different purposes.
It is on the market for €150,000
