If you’ve got a millions to spend on a property, you might as well go for something a bit unusual.

By ‘something a bit unusual’, we of course mean this beautifully preserved tower property, which once belonged to a famous Victoria architect, Joseph John Scoles.

The tower, called Crofton Lodge, is up for sale for £1.7million through Unique Property Company.

It’s a three-bedroom house that extends across 1,600sq ft over five floors – including a roof terrace.

From the outside, it looks pretty glorious, with a turret-esque structure.

And inside, many of the old-school features have been preserved, including fireplaces, crested murals, and doors and windows from Scoles’ days.
