FOR SALE
Sir Peter Scott Lighthouse
Guide: £600,000.
Also Known As East Bank Lighthouse
East Bank Lighthouse: Known As Sir Peter Scott’s Lighthouse
It is one of the delights running this eccentric Lighthouses For Sale or Rent website that sometimes the telephone will ring, and the owner of magnificent home is calling in with details of a very special place to sell. This happened today: here is that offering for you to consider…
East Bank Lighthouse, Sutton Bridge, Spalding, PE12 9QJ
Lighthouse towers for sale are very rare. In 25 years of editing Unique Property Bulletin and sister website Lighthouses For Sale, I have only seen three. As if the tower isn’t rare enough, this one comes with an incredible pedigree. It’s former owner, Sir Peter Scott was the son of famous Antarctic explorer, Commander Robert Falcon Scott. This resonates with our publication as on some days in midwinter, when nobody else on the RRS Discovery, I will quietly take the website laptop and spend an afternoon a few miles along the road from my home and go aboard Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s ship…
RRS Discovery. Forever Linked With Captain Scott
Please note, this ship is NOT for sale. Just included as part of lighthouse for sale narrative.
I mention the depths of winter for two reasons. Firstly, it is apposite to spend time aboard the RRS Discovery on a brisk, beautiful Baltic cold winter’s day given her voyages to the Antarctic. Secondly, in December or January you can enjoy this whole ship as a quiet sanctuary. Sometimes there isn’t another living soul aboard.
On those extra special treat days, some of the editions of this website were researched and composed here…
RRS Discovery At Dundee. Some Editions of This Website Written In This Room
This is an awesome space in an amazing place.
To consider where the occupants of this room have travelled and what they would have experienced inspires and fires the imagination from the freezing echos of this special ship’s past…
RRS Discovery At The Antarctic. Locked In The Ice For 2 Years: 1902-1904. Brrrr???
But I digress. This segment is about Commander Scott’s son, and his home at a very special lighthouse tower, located in East Anglia…
Is This Lighthouse In An Area Where You Would Like To Live?

The majority of lighthouse buildings are in Ireland and Scotland where much of the coastline can be exceedingly hazardous to shipping.
It is a rare treat that we can offer up such a beautiful lighthouse to folk who have a need to be near to the south east of the UK.
East Bank Lighthouse & Sir Peter With Friends
Genealogy asides, Sir Peter was a notable person in his own right. Described by the World Wildlife Fund For Nature as one of their founders. To have a very brief appreciation of his life’s work: click here.
To get a feel of the inspiration that Sir Peter drew from his time living at East Bank Lighthouse, here are a few photographs of the internal accommodation – both the light keeper’s cottage, and the actual lighthouse tower…

Quite A Contrast From Sir Peter’s Tome At East Bank Lighthouse
Estate Agent Narrative Continued: The Wash National Nature Reserve is the biggest reserve in England, covering nearly 9,000 hectares, and is dedicated to the memory of Sir Peter Scott, a great conservationist and son of ´Scott of the Antarctic´ who lived at East Bank Lighthouse, a Grade II* Listed Building from 1933 to the start of World War 2.”

There is a huge amount of history to this truly unique home. The place also had planning permission granted for a detached visitor centre.

For our readers who have the dedicated lighthouse property sleuthing ability within their DNA. If you are determined to find one of these lighthouse buildings to live in for yourself, then our special article is a reasonable starting point.
What has Robert Carlyle got to do with finding and buying lighthouse buildings/?
Read on for the back-story…
Highland Policeman Hamish Macbeth Portrayed By Actor Robert Carlyle
Photo Attribution: BBC
The light hearted rural police drama featured adventures of the eponymous, eccentric character in uniform, inhabited brilliantly by Robert Carlyle. The BBC series was must-watch television on a Sunday night in the 1990’s.
But here’s the thing. In real life there are actual Hamish Macbeths. You are reading the words of one right here and now. Just exactly as the writer of this segment is tapping them out on the old keyboard for you. Curiously, it is an obscure fact that thanks to a Teuchter version of the Old Bill – and a lot of training at police college, this website has been created. If it were not for a real life Hamish Macbeth, then Lighthouses For Sale or Rent would not be here.
