Grim's Dyke, Grade II* listed building and hotel in Harrow Weald, England.
The red-tiled Gothic revival mansion features tall clustered chimneys and spans across 40 acres of formal gardens and woodland in northwest London.
Built in 1872 by architect Richard Norman Shaw for painter Frederick Goodall, the property later became the residence of dramatist W.S. Gilbert until 1911.
The Arts and Crafts movement influenced the architectural design, combining traditional craftsmanship with late-Elizabethan elements throughout the structure.
Located 12 miles from London's West End, the hotel provides modern accommodations while maintaining the original features of this Victorian country house.
A prehistoric earthwork called Grim's Ditch, dating back to Roman times and serving as an ancient defensive boundary, gives the property its name.
