Clive Emson auction: Romney Marsh Martello Tower sold for double the guide price

Could this be Kent's most expensive war building?

The historic Martello Tower, which was built in the 19th century to protect the British Empire from invasions, is located in a car park at Dymchurch, Romney Marsh.

The property had a guide price of £70,000 to £75,000.
