Anyone want to live on a (very small) island?

How gorgeous is this?

Sounds good to me. Mind you, this time last year I was wondering if I could find a job as a solitary lighthouse keeper.

I visited there many years ago, probably about 35 tbh. It was quite amazing. I think it was a museum then?

It would be ideal for all those MNers who don't like to answer the door .

It would be a pain sailing to the mainland all the time - that's a really busy shipping channel and some of those ships are huge! We had to tack round one once and it was breathtaking in its size.

Although I suppose you'd have a powered boat rather than a yacht.

Would be good to hide out in in the event of a zombie apocalypse.

Gotta love estate agents creative writing, apparently it's "coastal" and there are "good road links in the area"!

I did live on a Fort for a summer. It had outside space though so you could go for a short walk. It was also a hotel but nothing as luxurious as this.

If it had more garden I'd love it.
No garden, no interest for me though.

You'd be alright in a zombie apocalypse if you were very well stocked.

Can you imagine coming back from a several hours round trip the shops & realising you'd forgotten the milk!

It does seem to be rather in the middle of a busy shipping lane.

I opened it on picture 2 and I honestly thought it was a cake 🤷‍♀️

That is a big fat hell no from me. Nope no and thrice no!

No neighbours trying to park on your driveway? Now that’s mumsnet heaven!

I went there when heavily pregnant with DC2 for lunch. Had to take boat over and it was quite a basic buffet thing but an amazing structure. It's changed a bit now, though!

That's my zombie apocalypse plan sorted.

If i had that kinda money,
This wouldnt be personally what i would go for

What about when the boats can’t sail? Can’t get hold of anyone?

Thats been coming up for a few years now. I would make it into my own micronation with inspiration from the Principality of Sealand

Can't make up my mind if it's Bond villain territory or something from an Agatha Christie novel. Either way there will be people with murderous intent.

I remember seeing this some time ago on morning TV and loving them. There are three in total, one was still a bit of a wreck. I think they're fabulous but I'd only buy it if I was stupidly rich and it was my 'fun pad' not my permanent home.
Doesn't the second picture on the home page look like a birthday cake?

Yes, I looked on Google maps to check it was really real!

I wonder where you'd keep your own car...

school run would be a pain in the arse

Imagine having to go back because little Nobby has left his book bag at home :P

I would fear that one very big wave might be all it took- no thanks. It looks a bit dark in some of the rooms too.

Not that it’s a problem it’s slightly outside of my budget.
