Five homes near the sea
Fancy having a sea view from your home office, or walking along the beach after work?
Take a look at some of the spectacular homes that have been listed for sale so far this year, from an off-grid beachfront hideaway, to a self-built house on the Isle of Wight.
Which one is your favourite?
A pair of cottages perched above a hidden cove
On the north coast of Devon, perched on a cliff, above a secluded rocky cove, you’ll find Whyte Cottage and the Boat House in Buck’s Hill. The homes are laid out as two separate cottages, with five bedrooms between them, set in a dreamy location on a coastal path with views over the bay.
A self-built house on the Isle of Wight
This three-bedroom home is located on the fringes of Totland Bay, and has far-reaching country and sea views from the top floor. It’s also packed with bespoke features, from stained glass windows and an internal lift, to a ground source heat pump and solar panels, which provide underfloor heating to the ground floors.
A seafront hideaway
Fall asleep to the sounds of the waves crashing below in this former coastguard cottage on Man Sands beach in Devon. The mid-terraced cottage is an ‘off-grid’ retreat, with no mains water, electricity or drainage. And you’ll also need a four-wheel drive to get to it.
A waterside retreat
The picturesque village of Tighnabruaich sits on the Kyles of Bute, a narrow sea channel that separates the northern end of the Isle of Bute from the Cowal peninsula in Argyll and Bute. The area is famous for its scenic beauty and sailing waters, and this three-storey, split-level house is in the perfect position to take in the views.
A period gem close to the sea
This four-bedroom period property is in the heart of Manorbier, a popular seaside village in Pembrokeshire. The home is packed with history and character, and it’s within a short walk of a beautiful beach and a spectacular coastal path. The seaside resort of Tenby is less than fifteen minutes’ drive away.
