Perched at the top of a cliff in the popular and picturesque seaside village of Southerndown, this architecturally-designed contemporary home can surely boast one of the prime places to totally indulge in a sweeping sea view in Wales.
And without having to jump on a plane to California, you can marvel at a spectacular panoramic sea view far closer to home, even if the weather is far from continuous Malibu sunshine.
Ships, seagulls and storms, waves, weather and wildlife; there are limitless waterside scenarios to have a new owner of this five bed home totally mesmerised with their own private window to the sea world outside.
Obviously designing a home for this special spot in the Vale of Glamorgan is based around the panoramic sea views, which dominate each sea-facing room and entice any occupant to approach.
But this modern abode is not a boring square box just built to maximise the views, it’s a stylish house with high specification interior design touches and surprising features.
The entrance is a curved and inviting front facade that opens spectacularly into a circular vaulted entrance hall, showcasing an eye-catching semi-spiral wood slat and metal staircase.
This space then opens out onto a vast living, dining and kitchen area that then opens out onto an impressive garden patio. Here is where a visitor first glimpses not only the sea views beyond but also the high spec of this millionaire’s pad.
Oak doors throughout, solid bamboo flooring with underfloor heating, wireless gated entry controls and CCTV are all part of this prestige property package. Even the hardwood glazed doors out to the garden and balconies are self-cleaning.

Also on this floor is a separate study but, as it’s located right next to the bar, it’s unclear how much studying might actually be done in this room. There’s no doubt it’s an added bonus to have a separate quiet space within such an open-plan, sociable home.
