Have you ever wanted to own a historic fortress that once housed enough artillery for a small army? If so, you're in luck.
Fort Hubberstone, a property in the Welsh coastal town of Milford Haven, has been put on the market for £190,000 . The Grade II* listed building housed US soldiers during the D-Day landings in World War Two, and came complete with gun rooms and a pub. The property has seen far better days, and a prospective buyer will need to do some work to bring it up to spec. Take a look at the potential renovation of a lifetime. Located on the side of Milford Haven in Pembrokeshire, Wales, Fort Hubberstone was completed in 1863 following orders for its construction by former Prime Minister Lord Palmerston.It was used as a secret base for American forces deployed in Operation Bolero in the D‐Day landings in France.
The top building, which once accommodated about 250 men, was made up of guard rooms, soldier housing, pub, wash rooms, coal store and kitchens, centered around a raised parade ground.The lower building is made up of seven gun rooms, magazine rooms and an intricate channel of light and ventilation passages displaying masterful stone and brickwork.The fort is steeped in history, with the gun tracks, fireplaces, wooden framework within arched windows, and decorations on the washroom walls.
