It looks amazing. Is it currently a hotel? I think I might get cabin fever living there. Having to set off in a boat every time you need to go to work or nip to the shops? Not practical in the dark, winter, bad weather. 🤷‍♀️

But do deliveroo and ocado go there?

DuesToTheDirt · 12/01/2022 17:38

Yes it's a hotel. Very little outside space, so you'd have to get a boat even to go for a walk!

Yeah, wouldn’t work with the dogs.
ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 12/01/2022 17:42

Yuk, no outdoor space. I’d go mad’

Skeumorph · 12/01/2022 17:54

Oh gosh no. Like being in a luxury prison! How awful.

ImJustNotMeAnymore · 12/01/2022 17:58

I'd love to, but the dogs wouldn't 🙂

But how would you get a pizza delivered?

And I bet Hermes would mysteriously "lose" all your parcels even more than usual.

Also how do you get back from the pub?

HasaDigaEebowai · 12/01/2022 18:05

It’s been on the market for a while. There were two of them up for sale. The other one was bigger from memory

tectonicplates · 12/01/2022 18:05

And how would I get to the drop-in clinic and local pharmacy every time I get a UTI?

MarshaBradyo · 12/01/2022 18:07

I’d find it maddening tbh to be stuck on that without effort

Havilland · 12/01/2022 18:10

There is a terrace and a courtyard so there is some outdoor space!

I already live on an island, thanks. Sure, it's much bigger than that one, but it does me nicely!

TheChip · 12/01/2022 18:12

Who needs dogs when you could have a pet dolphin or 5. Id love that if I could rely on drones and amazon to brings me deliveries

Hugasauras · 12/01/2022 18:14

If I had enough money to buy that I'd just pay for my own little ferry man or woman and a boat so they could bring me takeaways Grin

icelolly12 · 12/01/2022 18:35

No I wouldn't pay to live on alcatraz

tatyr · 12/01/2022 18:59

Aww, went there for a hen party once back in the day!

tectonicplates · 12/01/2022 19:06

@tatyr

Aww, went there for a hen party once back in the day!
How did you get home afterwards?
tatyr · 12/01/2022 19:16

This was about 20 years ago! They used to run organised trips from Pompey, a hog roast and a disco, good luck with not being sick on the boat back!!

BiscuitLover3678 · 12/01/2022 19:18

Beautiful, but picture 2 terrified me.

UnicornPoopsRainbows · 12/01/2022 19:18

Ha, I live somewhere I can’t get Deliveroo or pizza deliveries and no walk in centre anywhere near. This would be no different for me. I can chip in a fiver

eagerlywaitingfor · 12/01/2022 19:27

Good grief! Some of the photos do look amazing though.

blacksax · 12/01/2022 19:28

Has it got a tennis court?
