A 50ft medieval-style tower home has gone on sale for £600,000 in northern England.
Tower Court in Greenmount, Greater Manchester, was originally built as a water tower but has been converted into a home.
The tower home has modern rooms, appliances and a private rooftop terrace with panoramic views of the countryside of Greater Manchester.
The design is understood to follow that of a medieval castle, with battlements, faux-arrow slits and an imposing, portcullis-style arched entrance.
The property was built in 1840 by Joshua Knowles, with the tower used to contain a water supply

Fine and Country Estate Agents are marketing the property for £600,000
The property was built in 1840 by Joshua Knowles, with the tower used to contain a water supply incase the neighbouring farm caught fire.
A spokesman for Fine and Country Estate Agents of Rossendale, who are selling the Tower, said it was currently owned by a young professional person who had decided to relocate to buy a new home with his partner.
He said: ‘On a fine day the views are beyond Manchester city centre and it’s surrounded by farmland and countryside.
‘Despite it being an unusual home, it’s actually got a great mix of bedrooms and reception space, so it would also be good for someone who loves entertaining.’
