The Watchtower, Coastguard Cottages, 5 Beach Road, Whitehead, Antrim, BT38 9QS
£184,950
Description & Features
‘Coastguard Cottages’ is one of the most iconic historical buildings in the popular old seaside town of Whitehead. Built in 1870 it served its purpose to the community until 1931 when it was closed by the Admiralty. Although now completely renovated and divided into separate dwellings the old coastguard station still retains most of its original exterior design and therefore it gives Balmoral Estates great pleasure to offer for sale ‘The Watchtower’, a quite unique building steeped in history which we are sure will generate immense interest amongst those potential purchasers. Early internal inspection is therefore strongly advised to avoid disappointment.
