Househunters have been given the chance of a lifetime to move into an incredible converted lighthouse.

For nearly 200 years the famous High Lighthouse in North Shields was the guiding light, keeping thousands of sailors safe at night.

It housed the beam which guided boat after boat gently into land, away from the deadly rocks lurking beneath the water.

Now the lighthouse is on the market. Knight Frank estate agents has advertised it for "offers of above £415,000".
