The Sextons Lodge is located in the portico of the Grade II* listed gatehouse to Sheffield General Cemetery.
It is the original lodge, built in 1836 for the cemetery manager.
The site is one of the oldest, most complete garden cemeteries remaining in the UK and is now a registered Conservation area, Local Nature Reserve and Local Wildlife Site.
It was closed for burials in 1978 and is now a public park. Located a short stroll from Ecclesall Road, with a good choice of restaurants and bars, M&S food hall and Waitrose supermarket.
Within 5 minutes is the independent area of Sharrow Vale, with its range of interesting and quirky shops and cafes.
Nether Edge Village is 10 mins walk. The Lodge comprises a living/dining room, small well equipped kitchen, shower room and a bedroom, which can be made up as twin beds or a super king bed – please specify which you prefer when booking.
The accommodation is furnished with original antiques and lighting from the 19th century, in keeping with the building.
There is underfloor heating in the living room and thermostatically controlled heaters to the bedroom and shower room. There is no TV but a well-stocked bookcase, plenty of board games and a wi-fi connection. The restored Samuel Worth Chapel can be found in the centre of the cemetery, where a range of music events and history tours take place.
Please see www.gencem.org for What’s On during your stay. Parking for the lodge is on the street locally, parking permits are provided for your full days stay. The gatehouse is the main entrance for the cemetery and is the meeting point for our landscape volunteers, a dedicated bunch who look after the whole park and who may be working in and around the lodge during your stay.
They may also take a tea break under the portico if it’s raining!

A beautiful little gatehouse. It's tiny but had everything we needed. The cemetery is an idyllic setting, with very accessible paths and lots of history to read about as you walk round it. Nice little cafes just up the road. Would happily stay here again if we're in Sheffield for a couple of days.Point of info for anyone interested: beds can be twin or made into a double and are soft.

Property was very charming with a taste of long ago but the comforts of now. Perfect for a couple on lovely grounds, and very close to Ecclesall Rd.
