To Be Shore

With a prime position close to one of Anglesey's best beaches, this recently built townhouse can bring some super-sleek luxury to your seaside getaway.

Inside, the design relies on the effortlessly cool combination of stark white walls and wooden floorboards, which are adorned with house plants and some moody framed artwork — albeit with a nautical theme, still. The minimalist open-plan kitchen complete with an island wouldn't look out of place in one of the cities back on the mainland, too.

We've done very well to not mention the vantage points up until now. Just off the main living space, the large floor-to-ceiling windows open up to create a light and breezy communal area to relax with a glass of wine. Better still, head up to the beautifully appointed dining room on the third floor, to find a glass-barrier Juliette balcony, through which the rolling waves can be spotted. If you want to truly embrace the alfresco life, you should descend to the ground floor, where a large deck complete with plenty of seating awaits for Aperols in the sunshine.

When the sight of the sand and surf proves too tempting, you can be on Rhosneigr Beach — a location renowned for its watersports — in only two minutes on foot. There are a few restaurants and cafes in town to keep you fed in between swims, as well.
