Hadlow Castle.
My Grandad used to sit atop that with his rifle during WWII downing the Luftwaffe. Or trying.
It once sold for £1 because it was such a liability. I remember some 40 years ago being at a garden party there in a breeze and lumps of masonry landing on the lawn. I have a feeling that the turrets are now glass fibre.

That makes sense.. On streetview from a few years ago the turrets appear to be completely absent. £4.5m spent on restoring it a few years ago and it's now marketed at £1.6m. I'd like to spend a weekend there.My Grandad used to sit atop that with his rifle during WWII downing the Luftwaffe. Or trying.

I take it this hasn't actually been built yet and the 90M Euro is the projected cost... or do you also need to cough up 25M Euro so no-one else stakes a claim to the land?! Listing price: $101,191,815

"Conceptualized by Israeli specialists, the complex has a multilevel security system and reaches highest security standards including the bunker. Ample 16 cars underground lobby-parking. It's possible to acquire the plot free from any legal challenge by third parties for €25.000.000."

Nice but Launceston is a fair way from the nice seaside bits of Cornwall but I suppose if you want to be away from the tourists hotspots then thats not a concern.I get forced to stop in Launceston every time we come back from Cornwall as that's where the Jo Downs glass factory is and my wife is an addict.
