Own a unique slice of history as this former naval fortress on a Pembrokeshire island goes up for sale

Thorne Island, a Grade II* listed coastal fort built in the 1850s as part of the defences of Milford Haven, has been placed on the market for £3 million by Plotfinder. Once a military stronghold guarding one of Britain's largest natural harbours, the island later became a hotel before being converted into a family home. Covering 2.49 acres, it provides restored living accommodation and self-sufficient energy systems in a highly secluded location, offering an ambitious housing project to those looking to renovate a house.
