A historic water tower with stunning 360 degree views that include the famous horseshoe bend of the River Wye and the Black Mountains of south east Wales is on sale in Ross-on-Wye for the same price as a London flat.
By splashing out £450,000 a prospective buyer could get their hands on a Herefordshire landmark, the Gazebo Tower, which is on sale for the first time in two decades.
The Grade II Listed building, was built in Ross-on-Wye's Palace Pound in 1833, as a viewing point for the market town and it is now arguably the county's most famous folly tower.
The current owner Tony Billingham reportedly bought the building off Hertfordshire County Council and he has redeveloped it to make the most of the natural light.
The kitchen and cloakroom are on the ground floor and a spiral staircase heads up to the lounge on the first floor.
An arched doorway leads to the light and airy kitchen which includes all mod-cons. Electric blue worktops inject a splash of colour into the bright, white room.
In addition, a cloakroom is tucked away to the left of the front door.
A carpeted spiral staircase winds up to the lounge which has a hardwood floor and a modern electric fireplace.
The walls between the staircase and the rooms are fitted with fire retardant glass to let in light and views from the original arched windows.
The bedroom on the second floor looks out to a spectacular outlook from the historic windows and a stone arch in the wall has been utilised as a built-in wardrobe.
The double bed has a bath underneath, so a new owner could make the most of this unusual feature if they were to install a spring-loaded bed.
This room also includes an en-suite wetroom and then another spiral staircase goes up to the battery-operated roof hatch.
From there the new owners can take in the breathtaking panoramic view of Ross-on-Wye and the surrounding countryside over the tower's turrets.
Athletes from Ross Rowing Club can frequently be seen gliding down the River Wye.
The property is also well located just a short walk away from the centre of Ross-on-Wye with its quaint independently-owned shops and boutiques.
