The 19th Century property in Terrington St Clement, near King’s Lynn, Norfolk, previously served as a military club during the two World Wars.
Its current owner, and avid skateboarder, Rob Marsden, 41, said the skate ramps “just took over the room”.
The three-bedroom property is for sale with a guide price of 200,000.

“It’s great for Rob as he has built it with a lot of love.”

It took him six months to build the 8m (26ft) by 12m (39ft) wooden skate bowl.
“I do a lot of wakeboarding and snowboarding so I built myself a ramp,” he said.
“I then built a bigger one and a bigger one – before I knew it, it just took over the room.
“It’s good fun. I have bowl nights every Wednesday night with my friends.”
He said he had decided to sell up to move somewhere where he could accommodate both himself and his business.
