BBC NEWS | UK | Wales | Island fort for sale at 150,000 pounds

If I were interested in moving to a gated community--I said if--this would be the one.

If you are struggling to get on the property ladder in the UK, how about buying a fort just off the coast? Stack Rock Fort, about 800 yards off the west Wales coast near Milford Haven, is for sale for £150,000. The 19th Century fort - complete with a couple of cannons - dates back from the time of Napoleon, when it was initially built as a defence for the river Haven. But it has nowhere to sleep at present, and the new owner will have to sort out sewage, water and power.
