If You Want To Live In The UK

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, 

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!
