This would make a really individual home.

It just needs someone with a bit of imagination to build something special!

it looks fantastic and lm sure there will be a bidding war created. Beware, the tower mite only be 25k but how much could it cost for access to the plot. be very carefull

Hi Stu,
I am not entirely convinced about what what the planners have said. PPG2 generally encourages the re-use of buildings in Green Belt and up here in North Yorkshire officers have recently recommended approval for re-use of a similar Water Tower in Harrogate’s Green Belt.

The local planning office have informed me there is No Chance of getting planning permission as it is in the greenbelt area,so basically it’s not worth buying for £2.5K never mind £25K…….

I do love water towers and they can make fantastically unique homes!

That one has a nice architectural look to it and it’s a pretty good price too (more reasonable than this one, and minus the grafitti -http://www.primelocationblog.com/uk/somebodys-dream-home-a-100000-water-tower)
