It was the Victorian police station lovingly and luxuriously transformed into a stunning boutique hotel.
And now it could be yours, if you have the odd £1.85 million to spare.
Alma Lodge is now on the market with Carter Jonas.
The building, on Alma Terrace in Fulford, first became the Coppers Lodge Guest House before being reborn as The Vices York.
Daniel Curro and Moreno Carbone created the stunning boutique hotel in 2020, which went onto be named as one of the best places to stay in Britain by The Times.
But it closes this month due to a change in their personal circumstances, and that is why it’s now up for sale.
The five-bedroom Alma Lodge is described by the agents as “superbly revived and transformed for luxurious modern-day lifestyles”. “Every room exudes style and sophistication,” they say.
The historic house has also gone hi-tech: “With innovation at its heart, the property boasts smart technology and convenience; Nu-heat underfloor heating and Cat6 cabling throughout, Loxone home automation system, MHRV ducting, a commercial grade hot water system, double-glazed timber sash windows with Resstende electric blinds and curtains, and electric Velux roof-lights.”
Outside “there is a south-facing walled courtyard area to the rear, driveway parking for two to three vehicles and an electric car charging point”.
The listing continues: “The layout lends itself to a variety of residential and/or commercial opportunities; first designed as a successful private-house hotel with 3 luxurious suites, and specialist culinary and wine experiences, but equally easily reverted to a substantial 5-bedroom family home.”
