A concrete water tower at Perry has sold at auction for almost £300,000.

The disused water tower, close to Grafham Water, which had an original guide price of £90,000, sold for £290,000 at the Savills Auction on May 10.

Savill's auctions director Jeremy Lamb, said: “Given its unique nature, we hoped the Perry Water Tower would capture the imaginations of bidders.

"We were thrilled  with the hammer coming down at £290,000, more than three times its guide price.

"The lot saw strong interest and competitive bidding and we look forward to seeing what’s next in store for the tower.

"Subject to planning permission to convert to residential use, the striking building presents an opportunity to create a landmark home – the type of property which would not look out of place on George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces or Grand Designs.”

The water tower, which is located on a site of approximately 0.32 acres is situated to the west side of Crow Spinney Lane, close to its junction with East Perry Road, and was built in the 1950s.
