Detached bungalow for sale

It has been described as the ultimate retreat, a house on its own island with wild, rocky coastal views of Cornwall from every window. The only intruders are the seagulls, the whipping winds and crashing waves.



This week the former Tory whip, the 4th Viscount Long, 77, and his wife put their unique three-bedroomed home on Towan Island on the market, for offers in excess of £750,000.

Only accessible by a 90ft walkway modelled on the Bristol suspension bridge, and surrounded by the sea at high tide, it is spectacular. It has been a tea garden, a chicken farm, and, under the ownership of Lord and Lady Long, an exclusive bed and breakfast.
