Most people look for nice additions like a conservatory or a balcony in their search for a new home.
But one listing on Rightmove is grabbing attention for its historic island defences - and very interesting neighbours.
The four bed semi-detached in Portland Island, just off the Dorset coast, features a cannon, three layers of vaults and grounds in a ‘commanding position’.
The £625,000 house is situated on top of land that was once part of Portland’s old fort, which was a 19th century Verne Citadel built in the middle of the island and is surrounded by a huge moat.
Listing images show inspiring sea views of the Jurassic Coast, double bedrooms with high ceilings and windows, a modern kitchen, a cannon nonetheless, and layers of historic tunnels sprawling out beneath the house.
