Stunning island 'paradise' with its own beach has been sold

A breathtaking island with its own beach has been sold after two years on the market.

The island, described as a 'slice of paradise', included a two storey building with spectacular panoramic views and a private beach and headland.

Ynys Faelog is a small tidal island, close to the Menai Suspension Bridge, and can be reached by car over a tidal causeway.

In 2019, a big chunk of the site in North Wales went on the market and was offered for sale for £1m.

The site, which is shared with only one other property owner on the opposite side of the island, was brought to market by Williams & Goodwin estate agent and commercial agent Avison Young on behalf of owners Bangor University.

The listing included a two storey building with spectacular panoramic views across the Menai Strait and a private beach and headland, with access to a secluded rear garden area.

Despite huge interest previous attempts to sell had been hampered by 'legal issues'

Now Williams & Goodwin has confirmed a sale has been secured.

Tim Goodwin, director of William & Goodwin The Property People, said: "Fresh interests was found a few weeks ago and this party were able to proceed to a rapid exchange of contracts and given their local connections to the area, the buyer is intending to refurbish the property in what can only be described as a truly unique setting."

The tidal causeway means planning is needed to enter and exit the island by car although a stone walkway to the mainland is available all day long.
