Online House Hunter: Island idyll | Alan Cleaver | Independent Property Blogs

Online House Hunter: Island idyll | Alan Cleaver | Independent Property Blogs

THE chance to buy an island – knocked down in price from £1.25m to £95,000 seems very tempting. Sully Island in the Bristol Channel has it all: a Viking hill fort, a shipwreck, plenty of wildlife. Only the lack of a house or planning permission to build one might deter those seeking their own Treasure Island.

Living on an island has a romantic appeal (and yes before you all start posting below – I know Great Britain is an island!). There’s something about ‘escaping’ and being cut off from everyone else that just brings those stress levels crashing down. However, you also need a job and that means being able to rush back to the maelstrom of city life by 9am Monday morning.
