FOR SALE
Pladda Island Lighthouse Station
Offers over £350,000
^^ Pladda Island Lighthouse Station ^^
Kildonan, Isle of Arran, KA27 8SE
All of the lighthouses our website owner has been lucky enough to buy over the past 35 year period have been on the SECOND effort! So often the “sold” sign goes up. Then the FIRST buyer realises that the buildings are a lot more difficult to get to. In this case you will need to regularly cross by a ferry to the island of Arran and then use a second boat or other means to get onto the island. You will likely need to add a suitable boat or helicopter to the cost.

Kildonan, Isle of Arran, KA27 8SE
If the logistics of getting to the lighthouse buildings do not turn the first bidder into a reluctant buyer, then the cost of renovating the exposed buildings is likely to send them into paroxysms of wonderment at the major cost involved in renovating and maintaining these iconic buildings. Our last set of lighthouses cost almost as much to renovate as to buy. Fortunately, that included a major budget to insulate the former keeper’s’ houses which, 5 years later with fuel prices going into orbit like a lighthouse-shaped rocket, was a very fortunate decision.
^^ Pladda Island Lighthouse Station ^^
Kildonan, Isle of Arran, KA27 8SE
The point we are making is PLEASE sure this is what you want to do? Be certain this is where you want to live? We love lighthouse life, but it is not everyone’s cup of tea.
Our advice for 35 years has been for prospective lighthouse buyers to:-
=> Holiday for 2 to 4 weeks at a lighthouse destination for 2 weeks in the SUMMER.
& Crucially…
=> Holiday for 2 to 4 weeks at a lighthouse destination for 2 weeks in the WINTER.
This way, you will find out if you like lighthouse life and whether it likes you. The summers in the far north for example have 2 hours extra daylight. People think we are eccentric when we mention the risk of sunburn and worse, sunstroke. But it does happen the further north you go and closer to the Arctic Circle you end up!
^^ Pladda Island Lighthouse Station ^^
Kildonan, Isle of Arran KA27 8SE
We reckon that there is a 70% chance the first buyer of a lighthouse transaction will drop out.
That is relevant here and in any lighthouse purchase YOU study because even if you THINK you have been beaten to the purchase, there is an intriguing chance, we suggest 30% that you could still end up being the buyer.
So if you do visit one of these awesome places, or even stumble upon this website, or become one of our regular visitor and see a “sold” sign, it is well worth keeping an eye on the progress of a sale.
As mentioned, our experience is almost universal in missing out first time round. A polite conversation with the estate agent (or private seller) and they will usually come back to the UNDER-BIDDER rather than have the hassle of go through the whole process again.
^^ Pladda Island Lighthouse Station ^^
Kildonan, Isle of Arran, KA27 8SE
We are NOT saying that this will happen with the Pladda island Lighthouse Station. But there will be a short-order closing date. It is inevitable. Then the SOLD (subject to concluded missives) sign will go up.
If you have become smitten with Pladda and it is a gorgeous island…
=> Keep a close eye on this very important Land Registry page: Click Here.
=> If the Land Registry page shows the sale date as “2014” then the sale has NOT been completed. Also the Land Registry usually place a note on pages when a SALE is DEFINITELY headed to completion.
Until that point, the SALE is NOT COMPLETED.
If the FIRST sale does collapse, PLEASE think carefully about your bid?
=> We spent around £184,000 in RENOVATION and REPAIRS to a similar lighthouse station. Pladda DOES NEED a lot of work.
You’ll need to budget for that on top of the £350,000 purchase price + £200,000 for the helicopter (never, ever buy a cheap helicopter or a bargain parachute).
^^ Pladda Island Lighthouse Station ^^
Kildonan, Isle of Arran, KA27 8SE
Access logistics are profoundly important. Please make sure you are thoroughly acquainted with ways to get safely on and off of the island.
Plus sufficient capacity on a vessel to get a lot of building materials to the lighthouse station. Remember that most of your building materials wil have TWO boat journeys to get to and from your new home…

Lighthouse Engine House
Available for sale is this detached Lighthouse Engine House (Tower NOT included). The Engine House It has FULL Planning Permission to be converted into a 2 bedroom house…
^^ Noss Head Lighthouse Engine House ^^
Please Note: Tower NOT Included
This was a detached utility building for generating electricity to light the lamp in the lighthouse tower. Since the National Grid, this building is no longer used. There was a problem wit the original planning permission in that the proposed septic tank was in a problematic location very close to the buildings. That has now been cured by the WAYLEAVE PERMISSION that allows the septic tank to be built several hundred yards away.
A genuinely unique property or, with a sense of bearing as you approach the main gate a quarter of a mile away…

Please note, the tower is not for sale; neither is the house we sold to our neighbour.
Since buying this wonderful lighthouse station on 23rd May 2017 it has been the home of Unique Property Bulletin HQ. To be frank, given our first home 35 years ago on Davaar Island (here & here), the custodianship of Noss Head has pretty much been the Crown Jewels of our organisation. The decision to sell any of the buildings has been difficult.
A wonderful bonus are the Aurora Borealis treats in the winter months…

Crucially this includes the wayleave rights to a new septic tank location (here). This is important as it purifies a planning condition that was hitherto a problem, but now via this piece of lateral thinking, it is solved. The result is this detached building, pictured to the right of the lighthouse tower, now had full planning permission and building warrants for conversion into a very comfortable 2 bedroom home with unique views to all four compass points, north, south, east and west…

Showing The Eastern Views
Towards Castle Girnigoe & Sinclair
As owners of the Noss Head Lighthouse Station since 23rd May 2017, we have been in the fortunate position of deciding which are our favourite buildings. Without doubt, and to our own surprise, these are the diminutive (now fully renovated) Keeper’s Cabin and the (yet to be renovated) Lighthouse Engine House. Hopefully the views from and also towards these buildings can give our readers the insight on why these two main buildings are our favourites…
^^ Lighthouse Engine House ^^
Looking West. Perspective From
Castles Girnigoe and Sinclair.
As of 20 May 2020, the FULL planning Permission GRANTED for the Lighthouse Engine House allows for conversion to a 2 bed residential dwelling. There is ONE part of this PERMISSION we would RECOMMEND buyers consider CHANGING.
=> We strongly suggest that buyers of the Lighthouse Engine House consider RAISING the internal floor level around 2 feet 10 inches.
During our ownership, the Northern Lighthouse Board asked for and were granted a temporary “welfare unit” in our Engine House. We were very happy to give them rent free use of our Lighthouse Engine House. For many years this building had lain under-used as its original function, generating electricity for the lighthouse tower beam had ended. In recent years this building had been reduced to a dumping ground for all sorts of bits and pieces which “might” prove useful one day!
^^ Lighthouse Engine House ^^
Previous Use As An Old Storage Unit.
What became obvious during the temporary use by the Northern Lighthouse Board is this building could be configured to have a very useful life and was redolent with beautiful views from every window. However, the windows were very high off of the ground. Only giraffes could get a good view out of them. We have many puffins and seals ~ even several whales, but no giraffes. So what is the answer when even the tallest humans cannot reach the height needed to get a view out of the windows?
^^ All Rooms With A View ^^
^^ Windows At Lighthouse Engine House ^^
Looking North Across Sinclair Bay
With some lateral thought, we simply raised the internal floor by around 3 feet in extra height.
The windows had been built at a height which reflected the semi-industrial nature of the building. As requested the Northern Lighthouse Board were given permission to raise the floors so that the kitchen and dining room where shelter was given during less sunny days, could be arranged in a way where the window views were obtainable by even the shortest crew member (ahem DJR).
In other words you could sit on a normal sized chair to have lunch and be able to look out of any and all windows in this building to the most glorious of views…
^^ Lighthouse Engine House ^^
Temporary Permission NLB Kitchen/Diner
(now removed)
The remedy to ensure good views from these highly level windows was to raise the floor…
^^ A Relatively Simple Solution ^^
Ensuring Excellent Views From Windows.
The reduced room volume reduced heating costs.
Plus underfloor insulation reduced costs further.
^^ Lighthouse Engine House ^^
We were delighted to say thankyou to
the Northern Lighthouse Board for
selling these buildings which we now own.
A way to do that was to make sure the
NLB work crew “welfare unit” was
supplied as per the NLB request.
Even though this was a temporary permission, we did arrange for it to be properly insulated…

The Book of Good Electricians + Plumbers
+ Roofers + Joiners + Glaziers + Builders
It is very important to note that we have two very good project managers and a full team of trades near to the Noss Head Lighthouse Station site.
=> This is very important IF you do not intend to project manage the conversion work yourself.
In 2017, it took us several painful weeks to find the right team to help with the renovation of Noss Head Lighthouse Station. But we persevered and are delighted to advise whoever buys the Lighthouse Engine House that IF they need some assistance in the conversion of this property, there is a local team headed by our Guardian Angel up in the far north…
^^ Steve Williams ^^
Has Saved Our Bacon Many Times
Any buyer who is looking at the Lighthouse Engine House may require some reassurance that they have a good team onsite. Steve will be able to show you three Grade A listed buildings and three properties within the environs of Grade A listed buildings. All of which have benefitted from Steve and various other team members and all of whom are keen to see the last building finished so that the WHOLE lighthouse station looks as it did many years ago when the original lighthouse keepers’ kept the place: Ship Shape & Bristol Fashion.
Just get in touch with Unique Property Bulletin and we can introduce you to a whole range of folk, from architects to project managers, electricians, and the whole spectrum you might need to transform the Lighthouse Engine House into your new 2-bedroom home.
***********
Back To The
Lighthouse Engine House Narrative
Now in 2022, this area and indeed the entire Lighthouse Engine House has been cleared and emptied with substantial demolition work undertaken well within one year, let alone the three years of the planning permission.
The clearance work was ostensibly to progress the planning permission and building warrant works. We are advised this in and of itself the demolition of the significant parts of the Lighthouse Engine House represents a “meaningful start”. That might be important as if you do extend your own “start” date beyond the 3 years commencing from the original permission dated 20 May 2020, you have what is now termed an “enduring permission”. One that without an end date. The “meaningful start” has crystallised that part of the planning consent in a good way for you..
^^ Lighthouse Engine House ^^
The Engine House car park was very busy.
Worthwhile as the end result is a cleared building
ready for the next stage of the planning permission….

A Small Price To Pay To Halve Electricity Bills Across The Country!
At first, we did NOT want to sell. But fate and one of our directors being hit on the head by a 5,000 ship changed the main plans.
=> Then the electricity fuel price crisis crying out for a solution has sealed the fate.
You or one of our readers may be about to secure a wonderful place to live at this lighthouse station.
The plans for the Lighthouse Engine House have been APPROVED. Though in truth, it is up to the buyer to decide whether this GRANTED Planning Permission layout is perfect for them. The floorplan does seem very good. It is just the full door height (non-opening) window elevations that add some hassle.
=> We would recommend keeping the current windows where they are. They are perfectly good.
Outside, the installation of a more stable concrete ramp, enabling disability access can be installed. That way an interior raising of the floor by 2 feet 10 inches so the windows work as shown above would be excellent...
^^ Lighthouse Engine House ^^
Planning Permission
GRANTED
This building is currently in shell format. The other point that is important to clarify here and now is that there were concerns, raised by ourselves, that the proposed septic tank was too close to the cliff edge. Our professor of geology was quite clear when he visited in 2017… “The cliffs will last for millennia, just do not go drilling or digging new foundations within 20 feet of the edges!”
So the solution has been to GRANT A WAYLEAVE TO THE NEW OWNER OF THE ENGINE HOUSE to site a new septic tank much farther away from the main buildings.
Here is the draft plan for HM Land Registry/RoS…

Pirates Cove
Possible Cliff House
This Project Has No Planning Permission: Yet
Offers Over £28,000.
^^ The Pirates Cove ^^
Noss Head Lighthouse Station
We had originally placed this ADDITONAL plot of land for sale at £28,000. However, the six phone calls we have had about the Engine House in the first week ALL asked if the VERY BIG GARDEN could be included. By that they meant this large piece of land outlined in blue ink in the Land Registry based cadastral mapping plan.
=> We believe the fairest thing is to give first refusal of the Pirates Cove to whoever buys the Lighthouse Engine House.
This extra Pirates Cove land fits in very well with the current Engine House building plot…
^^ The Pirates Cove ^^
Ownership Title Outlined In Blue Ink.
The original sale of the Engine House was as a light industrial unit. It has subsequently changed hands since we used to own it. But the owner had a change in her circumstances and the property began to lay empty and unused. So we offered a full refund and an “ex gratia” payment to cover her costs.
=> Several months later, the Lighthouse Engine House is now within our ownership.
But as indicated earlier, our managing director had a stroke. So we have decided to test the water to see if any of our readers might like a prime piece of lighthouse station WITH aa fulsome set of PLANNING PERMISSIONS already GRANTED.
=> This represents an excellent lighthouse adventure with direct access to lighthouse owners who have over 30 years experience with these types of buildings.
In respect to the Pirates Cove land, one of our Unique Property Crew did pursue the idea of building a small Puffin Observatory with maybe a bunk bed and kitchenette into the cliff.
^^ Magnificent Though Grumpy ^^

^^ Och, Don’t Be Daft ^^
Seriously, would you live here?
It is not often you own a cliff and there is a huge temptation to build something interesting. Especially when you can see all this wildlife. On some days we have to drag poor, cold, wet whale-watching souls into the lighthouses to give them hot tea and warm them up. Those tend to be the dedicated whale-watchers. They get themselves all hypothermic just waiting. Why wait in such discomfort. So we kind of settled on a minimalist approach that we could share…
^^ Maralah, Calgary ^^
Pictured above and below as a tribute to our two most favourite and inspirational architects, John Lautner and Frank Lloyd Wright. This minimalist cliff house was designed by the founder of LAAV Architects, Laertis-Antonios Ando Vassiliou.
^^ Maralah, Calgary ^^
Maralah is a minimalistic cliff cabin designed for an exclusive project with Infiniti Motors Limited in collaboration with ADD Architects. Maralah translates to ‘they who was born during an earthquake’ from the language of Canada’s First Nations people.
Given we are selling the Pirates Cove for offers over £28,000, it is difficult to established whether planning permission would be given or if the structural engineer and geological reports would support this (far far away from and lighthouse buildings). But it sure would be an amazing and fun projects.

We just have to show you some BEFORE and AFTER photos of our old lighthouse station HQ. Why?
Because we contracted to have the proper lighthouse contractors paint the former (privately owned) keepers’ houses at the same time as the TOWER and with the specialist paint developed specifically for lighthouse towers.

These guys are the real deal. Technically called “Rope Access technicians”. They have to be VERY safety conscious as it is a long way down…
^^ Atop The Tower ^^
Would you step off of the balcony of a lighthouse tower with just a few ropes to hold you from oblivion and sharp rocks 200 feet below on the seaward side?
^^ Extensive Rope Access Safety Training ^^
Even with all the health and safety regulations in the world, it takes a lot of willpower to step off of one of those high lighthouse tower balconies and start painting. In fact there are weeks of preparation + chipping + cleaning work to be completed first. The theme of height is so often part of lighthouse life.
Then someone reassuringly says “don’t look down”. So what do you do….

We are sure that Covid will be beaten. 101 years ago the world was coming out of the last pandemic and Heaven knows, after that pandemic they had a helluva party. It was called the Roaring Twenties…
The 1920s After The Pandemic of 1918.
101 years ago, once the virus had passed
people lived their lives happily again.
What we do know from our Unique Property Bulletin website is that property is selling a lot faster than any of us might have imagined.
Yet, here in 2021 we are still in the midst of this horrendous Coronavirus pandemic. This feels counter-intuitive. Maybe folk have stopped going down the pub and saved more so they can now buy a new home.
Thre is, thankfully, hope on the horizon. The Covid vaccine roll-out seems to be “efficacious” as the magnificanet Dr Athony Fauci says.
Our Favourite Skunk At A Picnic: Right of Photo (Here)
Dr Fauci tells it as it Is.
During this year, 2021, we await the results of the vaccine effectiveness keenly. Plus most of humanity now have their “O” Grade or eqivalent high school certificate in epidemiology and know that “mutants” are not things that chase you during halloween and UFO invasions. In fact mutants and variants are the reason we will be getting an annual injection/jag as Covid becomes endemic.

If it does, we will take some solace that there is light at the end of this ruddy awful horrendous global pandemic.

4]. The West Usk Lighthouse: From our experience and reader feedback, that is at the very top end of what lighthouse buyers are comfortable paying. A guide of £1,750,000 is a lot of money. Most of our readers prefer lighthouse buildings at the £75,000 to £125,000 guide price figure. Although we do have a respectable number of high-net-worth buyers looking at the £500,000 to £1,000,000+ price bracket. Even so, the West Usk Lighthouse buyers we sent across advised their view was a ceiling of £1,400,000.

SORRY, THIS LIGHTHOUSE TOWER SOLD VERY QUICKLY…
5]. The penultimate Burnham High Lighthouse Tower was one of the rarest buildings we list. At £550,000 it was priced at the top end, but because of rarity, it had thousands of folk clicking onto the dedicated webpage we hosted. We were delighted when the owner phoned our UK telephone number for advice (here). It was a sheer pleasure to help him sell the tower over the following few weeks.

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. This opens up possibilities for proper pharologists and also conservation minded wildlife devotees to enjoy an amazing new life here at this sublime part of the country.

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.

This website has a forensic team of qualified property detectives (retired plods and Sherlock Holmes) helping to get you into lighthouse building ownership mischief. But for some reason, the last couple of years, 2020-2021 were very dry in the world of lighthouses coming onto the sale lists. Now, as we approach the end of 2022, there have been a FEW lighthouse buildings for sale, but none of the high volumes of the past 20 years.
=> Maybe folk just buy their lighthouse gem and settle down fro the long term.
We understand that as it can be utter bliss to live in a lighthouse station building.

This is a not-for-profit website provided free to readers. It is kept online by a group of friends who own lighthouse buildings and are happy to help others minded to live in these more remote spots. Covid19 is making remote working more popular and lighthouse are proving a reassuringly safe place to live whilst earning a living telecommuting. It is 36 years since the owner of this website (click here) acquired his first lighthouse. In that time he has been very very lucky: owning three lighthouse stations and acquiring the long leasehold of a fourth. This is mentioned as bona fides and credentials in naming Neist Point as THE one to watch for 2021. Russ reckons if you really love lighthouses, you should start saving up for this iconic place if, or rather when it comes up for sale…

Next Sale? ~ The Trick To Owning A Lighthouse Station?
Be prepared: get your finances sorted out and your lighthouses for sale radar switched on…
A good way is to check this lighthouses for sale website regularly.
This website has been privileged to help many fellow lighthouse owners sell millions of pounds worth of these iconic buildings since we went online in 2012 (and millions before that in our paper print publication established in 1992). But for some reason, there has been a shortage of lighthouse buildings for sale during 2020. With some hope and a fair wind, 2021 does seem to be getting better as far as lighthouses coming onto the sale list is concerned. We anticipate adding fresh properties for sale onto this site in the next few weeks..
In fact, demand for “remote” places to live and work (via telecommuting) has rocketed since Covid struck. The vast majority of former lighthouse buildings we feature for sale are broadband connected which is ideal for folk wishing to live in remoter places and telecommute to work via Skype, Zoom, FaceTime etc….
