Built to protect England from invasion in 1848 and fortified against Napoleon in 1852, two penthouses on the market sit just below this extraordinary building which has been used as a fort for centuries.
Built to an extremely high standard they are well-maintained, and offer wonderful spacious accommodation, lots of natural light and outstanding sea views. Features of note include vaulted ceilings, stone spiral staircases and original stone detail.
