According to The Sun: A historic sea fort built to protect Britain from French warships is now on the market for £1.5 million.

Architectural masterpieces of the past can now be yours for a symbolic price - just £1.5 million. The German fort, built over 160 years ago, offers a luxurious lifestyle for the potential buyer, including a nightclub and a spa.

No Man's Land Fort is located between Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight, providing a secluded retreat on the Solent.

The property spans 99,000 square feet, featuring 23 bedrooms, a helipad, five bars, and a restaurant. According to the Colliers real estate agency, the site has 'great potential for conversion.'

With 15-foot granite walls and armored plates, these forts were erected by Prime Minister Lord Palmerston out of fear of a French invasion under Napoleon III.

In addition to its naval history, the fort has also been used as a filming location for the classic Doctor Who story 'The Sea Devils.'

Ed Jefferson from the Colliers hotel team highlighted the unique opportunity and location of the fort, offering great privacy or exclusivity for potential guests and clients.

The property underwent a lavish renovation in 2015, with nearly £8 million spent on No Man's Land Fort and its nearby fort, Spitbank.

A unique chance to own a historic fort that offers luxurious living and privacy in a desirable location. Will the new owner preserve this unique property for future generations?
