  • A seat fort from the Second World War is going up for auction.

  • It is possible to turn it into a high-end hotel, restaurant, or retreat.

  • The fort can only be accessed by helicopter or boat.

The sea fort was used in the Second World War and is up for sale.

The Bull Sand Fort is off the coast of northern England and can only be reached by helicopter or boat.

The fort is going to be auctioned on July 19th.

It will require an imaginative buyer with a project in mind but suggestions for future uses so far have included a high-end hotel, restaurant,Airbnb, grand design style personal dwelling, retreat and a tourist attraction.

Morish says that the fort has potential for other uses if allowed to be refurbished. Any development plans must be approved before they can be considered.
