Up For Sale
In July 2011, Sully Island was marketed for sale by a firm of local Chartered Surveyors, Cooke & Arkwright. The island is advertised as comprising 14.5 acres (59,000 m2) and is open to offers with a guide price of £95,000. It is unlikely that planning permission would ever be granted for a residence but the local authority have indicated they may consider some kind of tourist attraction.

Famous quotes containing the word sale:
“I hate this shallow Americanism which hopes to get rich by credit, to get knowledge by raps on midnight tables, to learn the economy of the mind by phrenology, or skill without study, or mastery without apprenticeship, or the sale of goods through pretending that they sell, or power through making believe you are powerful, or through a packed jury or caucus, bribery and “repeating” votes, or wealth by fraud.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
