'Stunning' water tower with 360-degree panoramic views on sale for £2million
A unique four-bedroom converted water tower that featured on TV and Grand Designs Magazine could net an income of £100,000 per year for the right buyer.
Located in Bideford, Devon, UK, the home is on the market for £2million. With its four bedrooms and three bathrooms, it offers over 4,000 square feet of living space over three floors and its elevated position means that the property benefits from 360-degree panoramic views.
Dating back to the 1940s, the former water tower was converted by the current vendor, Robert Hunt, over four years before he lived in it with his family. During its conversion, the property was featured in Grand Designs Magazine and Good Homes Magazine as well as a feature episode on Derelict Rescue, which charted the restoration.
