Once owned by the man who invented the spark plug, Sir Oliver Joseph Lodge, and currently owned by a Lord and Lady, this unique property has quite a colorful and illustrious history! It also has the only privately owned suspension bridge in all of England that, at a heady height of 90' in the air, connects the island home to the mainland. The house was built on Towan Island, on the beach known for its great surfing, at Newquay, Cornwall, in the 1930s. At low tide, the wide beach beckons, but at high tide, the rock outcropped island is totally surrounded by water, adding even more intrigue.

Even more fascinating is the home itself. It's hard to imagine how creating such an elegant home, both on the exterior and interior, was accomplished when building materials, furniture and decor were required to travel over a 100' suspension bridge! Only the best building materials have been used in the hardwood floors, granite counter tops and amazing kitchen cabinetry. Built on two levels, the main floor houses a 28' foyer, 28' living room, glorious eat-in kitchen, 1 bedroom, 1 bath, dining room, study, sun room and utility room. Upstairs are 2 more bedrooms, 1 bath and the laundry room. The exterior has terraces encircling the house so one can enjoy the sun, garden and spectacular views from all 360 degrees.

This opportunity made possible due to British couple getting too old to navigate the 100 foot bridge. Priced at $1.6m
