Unique Property Bulletin – Latest Addition: 22nd June 2018

Private Island Fort For Sale

Guide: £400,000.

Pembrokeshire

Stack Rock Fort, South Hook, Milford Haven, SA73 3RU

This is a pretty impressive pile of neatly arranged rubble and masonry on a craggy lump of storm tossed rock. It is also a Grade II listed structure which means a fair few headaches if you want to get the building earning it’s keep so that there are funds generated to stave off utter ruin and the whole edifice sliding into the sea.

Stack Rock Fort, South Hook, Milford Haven, SA73 3RU

A defensive structure was first proposed at this location by Thomas Cromwell in 1539. Stack Rock Fort was built in 1850; completed around 1852, and then overhauled in 1859 with a new building that completely encased the original gun tower.

Stack Rock Fort, South Hook, Milford Haven, SA73 3RU

The fort was one of a chain of such defenses designed to protect the middle part of Milford Haven and the Royal Naval Dockyard at Pembroke Dock against an invasion from France under Napoleon III.

The island is currently uninhabitable but has significant scope for development.

For an idea of how these styles of fot can be renovated, you might like to study the Clarenco project at Spitbank Fort.

This should give you an overview of what is involved in taking Stack Rock Fort to a useful condition where the revenues were available to avoid further glorious ruination and eventual destruction from the untamed elements.

3 reception rooms.

.

Harold Tower, Fort Anne Road, Douglas, Isle of Man, IM1 5BN

The main tower house currently has 3 bedrooms with potential for 5. There is also a 3 bed guest coach house and 2 bed cottage, garage, workshop and stores.

A handsome Gothic design castle has come up for sale – located on the Isle of Man. This towering castle was built 185 years ago. It has now been beautifully renovated to an exquisitely high standard.

Harold Tower, Fort Anne Road, Douglas, Isle of Man, IM1 5BN

Contemporary kitchen – ideal place to prepare fabulous fare for the fine dining room…

The castle is steeped in history, but still has room for modern comforts…

If you get a tad thirsty on film nights, well there is another entertaining room…

After a particularly fine dram from the well stocked cellar, then it’s time for a very comfortable night’s slumber…

Harold Tower was, for a while, home to the famous artist, John Martin. He who has works now located in the Tate Gallery…

So as well as an amazing tower house, there is a wealth of history into the bargain.

+++++++++++

This brings us onto a slight detour with Harold Tower and this genre/style/size of project. We would ask our hardcore UPB/UPS readers whether this might just be a suitable candidate for UPS26? Perhaps place Harold Tower under the UPB/UPS microscope?

The most recent returns for Unique Property Club and the 70 active members have seen profits of more than 40% posted.

In total there are over 360 current unique property club members dating back to the public share issue days of Unique Property plc. The rebooted projects (especially UPS number 24) are shaping up to be very interesting and achieve our aim of ultimately helping readers/members “fund” their own projects as per our Unique Property Manual cover…

We Take Funding Seriously. With It Your Dream Can Be Made Real

“How to Find, Fund & Have Fun With Unique Homes” is the mantra we bang on about. So each and every time one of our readers say those words that upset us…

“When I win the lottery I will buy that unique home for my family”.

…here at Unique Property Bulletin our rejoinder to that comment is believe the phrase to be horse manure.

At 14,000,000 to 1 odds on the jackpot, forget the lottery. If we can reboot these unique property club adventures – and as UPS members know, produce fun and surplus funds for everyone involved, then we recommend you dump the lottery and consider going pro-active yourself.

So our point for this interlude in the middle of Harold Tower coverage?

We invite U.P.S., members to study Harold Tower and consider the logic we have applied to earlier unique property club outings.

If you come up with some interesting numbers for Harold Tower, please email UPSHQ with your considered view and precis. Bon chance.

Please can the wider 70,000+ readership of Unique Property Bulletin please note the club list is temporarily closed to new members until we get the new offices bought and open, along with employed staff members in post to help our core group of six volunteers deal with the significant peak email enquiry demand when we feature something that gets 10,000 views within one hour (eg: here). Best wishes from the Unique Property Bulletin Team.

+++++++++++

Now, back to this wonderful island castle tower with some more photographs and narrative…

Harold Tower is situated in a commanding position on Douglas Head overlooking the bay. Set in a private location with mature walled grounds extending to approximately 3 acres of land.

The views are arguably as impressive as the castle…

There is aerial drone video footage of Harold Tower available: Click Here.

For guidance, there are also some floorplans. Please do not scale these. Higher resolution can be obtained from the estate agency website.

Please remember this site, Unique Property Bulletin is a not-for-profit publication run by volunteers. We are not an estate agency. Just a group of friends who get into a lot of property mischief and are determined to lead you astray as well: in a good way! We simply share details of amazing places to live, whether a £10,000 off-grid nuclear bunker, or something more exotic such as this tower castle.

Also included in this island castle sale is a separate house…

The Isle of Man is a British Crown Dependency located almost equidistant between England and Ireland in the Irish Sea. It is known as a business location with a sophisticated financial services sector and e-commerce + aerospace + bio-tech and manufacturing base. Ideal for those wanting to develop a flying wallet that can be cloned in a laboratory.

Location: Harold Tower, Fort Anne Road, Douglas, Isle of Man, IM1 5BN
