Described as a “local icon”, this three-storey tower in Ross-on-Wye looks out over the River Wye and the Hertfordshire countryside.
Inside, each of its circular rooms – roughly 16ft across – has been transformed into a kitchen, a bedroom and a living room.
It also comes with a picturesque roof-top terrace, described as offering 360-degree views of the Black Mountains of Southeast Wales, the spire of Saint Mary’s Church, Chase Wood and Ross-on-Wye’s vibrant architecture.
It’s currently available to buy for £330,000.
Estate agents Hamilton Stiller described it “an opportunity to own a landmark and one of Ross-on-Wye’s most striking features.”
One of the most whimsical touches to the property is how the double bed hides a bath underneath – making the most of the space.
The top floor also includes an en-suite wet room and a spiral staircase leading to a battery-operated roof hatch.
Athletes from the Ross Rowing Club can even often be seen sailing down the River Wye from the windows.
The quintessential market town of Ledbury is only 13 miles away, while trains to London Paddington take two hours.
This tower, once owned by Herefordshire Council, was sold in 2001 when its only floor was accessible by ladder.
Tony Billingham, who won the bid by post, lovingly restored the tower into a cozy, functional home and later opened it to visitors, donating proceeds to local charities.
This isn’t the only house that has caught widespread attention recently.
A seemingly ordinary home has gone up for sale at £400,000, but there’s one very unexpected twist that’s caught people’s attention.
Photos of the property reveal that one of its two bathrooms has been transformed into a home office – giving workers the chance to “do their business” without ever leaving the room.
A three-bedroom home in Walton, Chesterfield, has hit the market for £150,000, appearing perfectly normal from the street – but step inside, and things take a decidedly unexpected turn.
Baffled house hunters have branded the interior “bonkers”, with photos revealing a quirky layout and eccentric design choices that are anything but ordinary.
A charming seaside property with a fascinating backstory has caught the attention of locals and house hunters alike.
Listed for £235,000 in February, the home was purchased by a couple in July after making several visits over the summer.
Nicknamed “the Dolls House” by locals, the petite property is cleverly built in an alleyway between two neighbouring homes and offers breathtaking views of the coast.
