Vendor Insight – Henborth

Can you tell us about the property and what it is like to live there?

Henborth is an exceptional and magical property situated on the west coast of Holy Island, which is an island off the west coast of Anglesey within the Anglesey AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). It is nestled between South Stack Mountain, the iconic South Stack lighthouse and the RSPB South Stack Cliffs coastal reserve and has commanding views over Abrahams Bosom Bay. The seashore and cliff terrace can be reached by private coastal steps from the house to the private beach where swimming, lobster fishing and BBQ’ing are the order of the summer months, followed (in the autumn months) by returning breeding seals and their beautiful white coated seal pups. Needless to say, we fell in love with the location and property immediately.

As well as the beach and cliffs, Henborth also boasts 7 acres of classic Anglesey countryside which is alive with flora and fauna of all shapes and sizes, from the Anglesey Mountain sheep flock to the South Stack fleawort (indigenous only to this location), to the rare choughs, peregrine falcons, kestrels and not to forget the incredible views of the diving gannets feeding out in the bay and the puffin populations 500 meters round the headland at the South Stack Lighthouse Reserve.

When did you purchase the property and what have you done to it since you have owned it?

“Caroline and I bought Henborth in 2014, and our beautiful daughter Eleanor was born here soon afterwards. It was originally an ‘old crofter cottage’ which was in need of some TLC, so we spent 18 months renovating/modernising it to a high contemporary standard, with ‘floor to ceiling’ windows taking in the beautiful seascapes and landscapes over the bay but we have also managed to maintain the ‘white coastal cottage look’ from South Stack Road and surrounding area. As we were essentially starting from a blank canvas, we future-proofed the house utilities by routing broadband cables (700meg fibre) & wifi nodes, CCTV, security, room thermostats and audio-visual (sonos/sky/spotify) through-out the entire house, with the control systems mounted in a single server cabinet located in a purpose-built plant room. All underfloor heating pipes (all rooms in the house) follow the same design, routing back to control systems and ground source heating pumps also located within the plant room. The house uses mains electricity (incl EV charging facility), but we do use LPG to power the ‘AGA oven companion unit’ and two ‘living flame stoves’ set into inglenook fireplaces.

The house layout is wonderfully open plan and has been designed to take full advantage of the amazing setting, with significant amounts of ‘floor to ceiling glazing’ on both levels plus several 6-meter sliding doors opening out onto an enclosed/walled courtyard to the rear of the house and extensive patio and lawn to the front creating a real sense of connection between inside and out. We used local natural stone to build many of the internal walls and fireplace(s).”

What is your favourite room?

“It’s really the inside and outside, but words really cannot express:

Inside: the kitchen, snug, dining and lounge area is one single open plan area where 80% of the external walls are glazed resulting in stunning views of the seascapes and landscapes. The ‘morning sunrises’ and ‘evening sunsets’ are beyond words but as the sun disappears, stargazing up into the crystal night skies takes over – as there is simply no light pollution here the night vistas are insane!

Outside: from early morning mushroom picking in the fields as the sun rises, to pulling lobster pots, rock pooling, swimming and BBQing during the day to having a glass of something on the cliff edge terrace as the sunsets over the bay.”

Your favourite aspect of the grounds or surrounding area?

“Living here we feel very blessed. We’re surrounded by the natural beauty of the sea, mountain(s), cliff(s) and rolling fields, all of which create a new canvas with each day/night and with each season however, at the same time we know that everything we could possibly want or need is just minutes away. We’re surrounded by an array of small bustling coastal towns such as Trearddur Bay and Rhosneiger with their lovely restaurants and harbour/fishing/sailing communities and Holyhead town and marina with its large supermarkets, restaurants and commercial facilities. Road, rail & ferry links are excellent so it’s easy to get just about anywhere....3hrs to London or Dublin city centers. This broad setting allows the property to be either a coastal holiday home retreat or a family primary residence, especially where working from home is now a business norm.”

Please tell us about a memorable event?

“Literally too many to mention but;

The look in my 10-year-old daughter’s eyes when we are rock pooling and she finds a new creature!

Also, when swimming in the bay, I turned around to look back at the beach and a seal popped its head up about 1 meter away. We looked at each other for a few seconds, then we both went off in our different directions.”

What will you miss the most?

“Living on ‘the hill’ and at Henborth has been the happiest time. It’s such a beautiful environment to live in, with such a caring local community. It feels so far removed from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It’s totally unique and it’s going to be incredibly sad to leave but we both have aging family and feel we need to move to support them.”

What do you love about the local community?

“The local community is incredible, and we have made friends for life…...we call living on South Stack, ‘living on the hill’. Although the ‘hill community’ is very spread out, we are all linked by a chat group which serves as a conduit for laughter, care, and support!”
