  • A grade II listed tower in Britain has gone on the market for £550,000, around $685,270.
  • The unique tiny home includes one bedroom, a kitchen, and a stunning roof terrace.

A mock-gothic tower has gone on sale in Britain for £550,000, which is around $685,270.

"Gazebo Tower," which was built in 1833 and is located in Herefordshire, England, near the Welsh border, is a "local icon," according to Savills estate agents.

Built into Ross-on-Wye's mock-gothic town wall, the tower offers a fairytale-like home that stands out in the picturesque town.

The home has three floors, and it comes with one bedroom, one and a half bathrooms, and a kitchen. While there's no garden, the property boasts a breathtaking roof terrace, offering panoramic views of the local town and countryside.

To enter the tower, you have to climb a "dramatic" stone staircase that leads up to a grand wooden door. This takes you to a bright, modern kitchen and a small bathroom that's fitted with a toilet and sink.

Despite the home's appearance, it features all the standard modern comforts, such as electricity, water, drainage, and central heating.

Climbing the spiral staircase that winds through the building, you reach the living room, which Savills promise is equipped with a "useful storage cupboard."

On the next floor, you find the bedroom and an en-suite bathroom, which is fitted with a shower. The room has a "dual aspect configuration," allowing for huge amounts of natural sunlight to flood in.

The home's showpiece is on the top floor — a roof terrace that offers incredible views across the historic town of Ross-on-Wye.

Phil Bates, who works for Savills in Cheltenham, England, told Insider: "Gazebo Tower is like nothing I have seen before, it is an utterly unique mock Gothic tower commanding mesmeric views nestled in the heart of this historic town."

"This is a real one-off and would suit a number of different types of buyers," he added.
