Historical opportunity to acquire a unique naval fortress, nestled on a captivating Pembrokeshire island, now available for purchase

A Unique Property Opportunity: Thorne Island

Thorne Island, a Grade II* listed coastal fort, is unlike any other property on the market. With a layered past that spans from a Victorian naval stronghold to a place of leisure and now a self-sufficient family home, this 2.49-acre property offers a fascinating housing project for those seeking an ambitious renovation.

Constructed between 1852 and 1854 as part of "Palmerston's Haven defences," Thorne Island was built to protect Milford Haven. Today, it stands as a testament to the past, with courtyards, vaulted ceilings, and exposed brickwork that tell tales of its military history.

Thorne Island's transformation over the years is evident in its modern additions. A rooftop bar, lawned terraces, and moorings have been added, making it a perfect blend of history and modern comfort. The fort offers over 8,000sqft of accommodation, including five bedrooms, a large reception and dining hall, a kitchen with sea views, and a lookout converted into a glass-fronted office.

One of the most striking features of Thorne Island is its self-sufficient energy systems. Solar panels, rainwater harvesting, battery storage, and an air source heat pump provide sustainable heating, making it a truly eco-friendly property.

Thorne Island can be used privately or commercially, as it is currently registered as both a family home and a hotel. The property is fully off-grid, offering a unique living experience away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Located in a highly secluded location, Thorne Island offers a chance to escape the world while still being connected, with modern amenities and technology at your fingertips. Full particulars and details, as well as information on thousands of other properties and building plots, are available on Plotfinder.

Thorne Island has been placed on the market for £3 million by Plotfinder. For those seeking a unique property with a rich history and modern comforts, Thorne Island is an opportunity not to be missed.
