Your own private island for just £1 million
You may have seen recently in the news that there is a house for sale for a rather large £1 million in Newquay, however this is by no means a normal house as it comes with its very own island. I kid you not; the three bedroom family home is perched atop a large granite rock.
The property also comes complete with a garden and a terrace which boasts 360 degree views of the popular Newquay surfing resort. There is, naturally, also access to the lovely sandy beach below.
Personal Island
Ever fancied living on your own island? Well now could be your chance for a cool £1 million.
The island, named Towan Island, is also thought to be the most photographed island in the whole of the UK and has become an iconic Cornish landmark over the years. The property was built in the early 1900s and was a tea room until the 1930s. This is when the house was built and it is evident as it comes with some very traditional touches such as wood flooring and some antique furnishings. The sitting room is said to be highly luxurious and decorated with floral fabrics. This is certainly one property that owners will want to protect with comprehensive property insurance.
Celeb Presence
Furthermore, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is once said to have stayed there while Sir Oliver Joseph Lodge, none other than the man who invented the spark plug, apparently used to own the house. The island also featured in the Beatles’ Magical Mystery Tour film in the 1960s. So the house has rather grand history attached and it’s most certainly a unique one-of-a-kind property.
Access to the house comes via a suspension bridge. The bridge was built in 1901 and is the only privately owned suspension bridge in the UK. The current owners have stated that the bridge is becoming a little too much for them, and therefore they have, unfortunately, opted to sell the house.
Will you be the lucky buyer?
