Perry Water Tower – A Brutalist Lair in Waiting

Rising from its plot like a sentinel of concrete and steel, Perry Water Tower is no ordinary structure. With its stark 1950s Brutalist form, soaring height, and rooftop vantage point, this disused tower offers extraordinary potential to be reimagined into a one-of-a-kind modern lair.

A Vertical Fortress

The tower’s robust concrete construction is more than architectural heritage—it’s a ready-made fortress. With capacity for up to six storeys, the internal volume provides ample scope for dramatic living spaces, hidden chambers, or a multi-level retreat. The top tier offers the perfect lookout platform, ideal for panoramic observation of the Cambridgeshire landscape, or a rooftop sanctuary suspended high above the surrounding homes.

A Rare Blank Canvas

Situated on a 0.32 acre plot (approx. 14,154 sq ft), this freehold property is both a relic of utility and a blank canvas for reinvention. The site’s rectangular shape and surrounding land create room for gardens, parking, or auxiliary structures to complement the tower’s vertical presence.

Location & Lifestyle

Found in Perry, a well-established residential area, the tower balances seclusion with convenience. Shops and amenities are within easy reach, while the Grafham Water Adventure Sports Centre lies just a short stroll away. Huntingdon rail station provides onward connections, making this a practical yet highly private setting for a personal stronghold.

Development Potential

The vendor has confirmed a positive pre-application (Ref: 24/70059/PREAPP, dated 2nd October) for residential conversion, opening the door for bold reimagining of this Brutalist monolith. Subject to consents, the tower could become anything from a striking modern home to a dramatic creative hub—or a cinematic lair unlike any other in Cambridgeshire.
