For Your View Only in Portland

A really unique property steeped in history and boasting incredible views out to Portland Bill Lighthouse and the far-reaching sea. Originally constructed around 1949, the buildings were the location of the British Admiralty, who carried out highly classified work which took the interest of the Soviet Union, whose spies were later supplied information by civil servants who worked there, before they were ultimately discovered as part of the Portland Spy ring in 1961.
