Town and Country Auctions are delighted to offer for sale by public auction this superb and unique development opportunity. An incredible Investment Opportunity for a minimum outlay. 17 Espionage is located on the cliff top with breathtaking sea views overlooking Portland Bill Lighthouse.

With build costs at circa £50,000 and a GDV of circa £180,000 this fantastic development opportunity could return a tremendous profit.
