Fort Albert, Freshwater, Isle of Wight, was built between 1854 and 1856, following threats of invasion by the French. The Grade II*-listed fort originally had 29 guns in four tiers. A hundred years - and Eurostar chumminess later - it was converted into seven flats. Flat 3 is on the second floor of the north-west /north-east corner and was created from original bombproof vaults used for large guns. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom flat, with views across the Needles and the Solent, has a small garden featuring an old cannon, and shares communal grounds with a slipway and hard standing for one 30ft boat per flat. pounds 140,000 through John D Wood (01590 677233).

Dittisham Court was developed from a farmhouse, barns and outbuildings near Dartmouth in south Devon. The village lies on the south bank of the river Dart, a popular yachting centre. Number 24 is a two-bedroom semi in a wing of the old farmhouse and shares use of the large grounds. There's a private right of way to the foreshore and a reserved dinghy space at Dittisham Sailing Club park. pounds 85,000 through Marchand Petit (01548 857588).
