Historic military signal house which helped warn British troops of a French invasion goes on the market for £2.75million

Grade II listed Semaphore House in Guilford, Surrey, once played a vital role in enabling the Admiralty to communicate with channel ports but now the five-bedroom home is on the market. 

The property has 360-degree views from its tower room with five bedrooms and the luxury of a games room and a Jacuzzi in its basement. David Harvey, from estate agents Savills who are selling the property, said: 'It is a unique house, there is nothing else like it in the area.'
