For the ultimate in home security, you need a fortified offshore tower armed with muzzle-loading cannons.
Listen beautiful relax classics on our Youtube channel.
This gun tower in Pembroke Dock, Wales, UK, was built in 1851 to protect the harbor from invasion. It was manned during World War I and II, when the UK was again under threat.
And now it’s for sale! You can buy the fort and live in at as a home for a mere £70,000 ($87,000 USD). Here’s the real estate listing.
It even comes with the original cannons! Really, the place has everything you could ask for in a residence. The Daily Mail reports:
The Grade II listed tower has substantial curved walls that are 13 metres high and up to 2.7 metres thick in some parts. […]
It is accessed via a long walkway built on land owned by the Crown Estate, which would be leased for an annual ‘peppercorn’ rent, according to John Francis, the estate agent handling the sale.
A peppercorn rent is a nominal rent–usually consisting of a single peppercorn. I suggest trying to buy the walkway, then rigging it with demolition charges for emergency use.
