and want somewhere different, one of these 2 property's might suit you,
all
photographs Savills, the first is No Man’s Fort, located between the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth,
two miles south of the city’s Harbour, and spans a huge 99,000 sq. ft. across four storeys,
it was converted into a 23-suite hotel with crew quarters, a restaurant and bar for up to 200 guests, a pub and a nightclub, the second is similar,
Spitbank
Fort, again a former island fort transformed into self-contained private
accommodation,
also in
the waters of Portsmouth Harbour,
having approximately
33,000 sq. ft. of space, the fort's historic charm harmonizes with modern
amenities,
a little history about the forts, Palmerston Forts that
encircle Portsmouth were built in response to the 1859 Royal Commission dealing
with the perceived threat of a French invasion. The forts were intended to
defend the Dockyard in Portsmouth. Construction was carried out by the Royal
Engineers and civilian contractors (under Royal Engineer supervision). In
addition to the newly constructed forts, extensive work was carried out on existing
fortifications, both are for sale though Savills, and both have a guide price of £1,000,000 each here and here, well they are certainly somewhere different to live!
