Bluebirds, a former coastguard lookout, has just hit the market for £1.25million, or about $1.5million.
The Marshall & Clarke listed property is situated on the White Cliffs of Dover overlooking the English Channel in southern England.
The lookout played a significant role in the defense of Britain during World War II due to its proximity to Hellfire Corner, which has been listed as central to the Battle of Britain.
The property has two bedrooms and two bathrooms and panoramic views of the English Channel.

It has been renovated since it was sold by the Coastal Sea Agency in 1994.

It has a tea room and restaurant on the ground floor and a luxury holiday apartment above.
The property is being offered as a business opportunity for rental as a holiday home or as a tea room.
The property is surrounded by greenery and is close to the Obelisk Monument, which is one of two erected in 1921.

It was built in 1914 after being acquired by the British War Office who built two huts used in the First and Second World Wars.
The huts were replaced with a brick coastguard lookout, which was used to defend England during World War II, the listing says.
The station was decommissioned and sold in 1994 after a new facility was built at Dover.
The kitchen, also overlooking the English Channel, has royal blue wall tiling and pine and oak cabinets.

The apartment has French doors leading onto a balcony overlooking the English Channel.
