Lighthouses for sale as seaside residences described
Curious orders bring three lighthouses to market in Britain nearly at once. Two lie near Portland Bill and another at the South Foreland Dover. The Lower Lighthouse at South Foreland has been repurposed into a study and library while keeping lantern room protection a priority. The Portland Bill lighthouses, Higher and Lower, are offered by Weymouth auctioneers, with keeper houses and wall-enclosed compounds, promising bungalow-style homes after modest alterations. Built in 1865, the High Light replaced an earlier 1789 Trinity House beacon.
