Thorne Island: Private Grade II* Coastal Fort
Live off-grid on a 13th-century fort (and 250k litres of rainwater).
This Grade II* coastal fort spans over 8,000 sq ft of vaulted brick ceilings, sash windows and wood-burning stoves. It’s tucked on 2.49 acres with a private jetty, five moorings and even a helipad and rooftop bar.
Reality check: It’s £3 million upfront. Then roughly £7,000/month to run—thanks to maintenance, insurance and UK rates. Add boat trips for groceries and generator costs into the mix you could be looking at more.
Mornings start with seabirds on the ramparts and fresh sea air before you hop on your boat for coffee in Angle. Become king or queen of your own island
