Fort for sale

[bunn]

 This fort up the road from where I live is for sale. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/126820367#/?channel=RES_NEW

It's such a cool place! I wish someone would buy it and do something remarkable with it.  Not sure what that would be, but I guess that is why it is so vast and so (relatively) cheap.

Oh wow! I want it! Shame it would take a lot of money to get it in working order, but I could see distinct possibilities as a LARP site. It would be big enough to have zones like The Crystal Maze so you could run multiple genres in the same place :D Where's a lottery win when you need one!

I imagine it would be a money pit, and maybe a bit distant and remote for a LARP place? But on the other hand, SUCH potential!

I'm sure it would be a complete money pit, you'd definitely need many multiples of the purchase price to make it half decent. Particularly with the Grade II listing added into the mix. Plus I can't even begin to imagine what the insurance for it would look like. Probably more than my annual wage :(

I do hope someone does something good with it though, it would be a shame if it just continued to crumble. I'd imagine there might be some limitations on what you could do as well, due to the fact part of it is already refurbished and has leasehold status. The tenants there probably wouldn't take well to midnight battles or rituals in the courtyard :D
