The completely unique plans to transform a WW2 observation post into an ultra-modern home

Ambitious plans could see a former Second World War observation post transformed into a huge ultra-modern home. The post was built in the 1940s as part of the Bristol Channel defence system and has since been converted into a three-storey home which offers stunning views over the water.

But the building in St Mary's Well Bay near Sully could be transformed completely after a pre-planning application for a sustainable 'eco-home' was submitted. The architects behind the project said it would "deal sensitively with a site steeped in history," and hope it will add to the area's "rich tapestry".

The current property is on the market for offers in excess of £795,000. Marketed by Cowbridge estate agents Herbert R Thomas, it is listed on Rightmove as a "uniquely converted WW2 observation post with accommodation set over three floors with a magnificent top floor glass balcony".
