The Welsh coastal bungalow with sea views from every window and a Japanese-style garden

Tucked away, surrounded by water and woodland, on a prestigious stretch of coast, this beachside bungalow tempts you in with the promise of peace and privacy.

Within its four acres of land this property called Cuddfan is a versatile abode that was split into two separate homes when it was refurbished by the current owner in 2011, which is ideal for intergenerational living.

If you love your family but don't want to live with them full-time, this might be the perfect pad.

Alternatively, the estate agent selling the property states it would be simple to change the house back into one, spacious home.

Whether the new owner wants to keep their family separate or mingle with them on a daily basis, the home offers all occupants incredible sea views from every window.

The garden stretches to the shoreline near the popular Red Wharf Bay on the Isle of Anglesey.

The views are uninterrupted apart from the occasional flock of birds landing on the small beach at the end of the garden.

No wonder that the current owners invested in a professional garden designer to create a Japanese-style garden to optimise the outdoor space into a place of total peace and tranquility.

And it's not a surprise to see the interior design of this special home inspiring the current owners to create artwork of their surroundings, which can be seen on the walls of most rooms.

The refurbishment of the property was completely linked to the home's surroundings, adding floor space via a substantial extension and with all sea facing windows and doors being floor to ceiling units.

The light and the views flood in during the day, the sunsets and stillness of the darkness during the evening.

Arguably the most impressive garden feature, apart from the surrounding countryside and seascape, is the large pond.

At this special spot the current owners have designed a Japanese style gazebo to enjoy looking out over the land and sea, whatever the weather.

The large stone and slab area and winding paths through the garden, coupled with the choice of plants and shrubs, create a magical grotto style garden enveloping the front of the home.

But if a potential buyer can drag themselves away from the views and the garden, then inside they will find a six bedroom home that offers flexible accommodation.

Arguably the heart of the home is the substantial kitchen/living room that looks out over the stunning views and flows into a partial separated dining room.

But a quick nose around the property reveals that there are actually two large kitchen/living rooms, so if this is to be single home again, then one kitchen could become an impressive and generous dedicated living room.

Alternatively, one half of the home could be a holiday let, with the right planning permission in place.

The far wing of the house that could be let out to tourists wanting to enjoy the location has three bedrooms, a bathroom, utility room, and the kitchen/living area plus the all important separate entrance. Oh and, of course, those incredible views.

The main wing of the house offers a new owner two possible entrances, the largest of the kitchen/living/dining spaces and also three bedrooms, plus a substantial double garage.

In this section of the house can be found the master bedroom with dressing area and ensuite.

But this property is so versatile, a new owner could literally chose most of the rooms to have any function that suited their lifestyle.

This could include running a bed & breakfast from the property, as three of the six bedrooms have an ensuite or the ability to easily become ensuite with the creation of a door into a neighbouring shower room.

Kitchen number two also has a view (Joan Hopkin Estate Agents / onthemarket.com)

The interior design throughout is noticeably influenced by nature, with a soft and natural colour palette complemented by traditional, classic-style furniture in wood and tactile fabrics.

The kitchen, both of them, are classic Shaker-style with painted wood units and granite worktops and a range of integrated appliances.

Other notable interior features include log burners, wooden flooring, and a lantern roof in the dining room which then flows into a super sunny conservatory.

The four bathrooms and shower rooms are all stylish spaces to relax, with feature baths, rainforest showers, luxury tiling and views over the sea or countryside.

Maybe the best place to enjoy soaking in bubbles is in one of the bedrooms that has a tub with a dedicated window looking out to sea.

The majority of the four acres of land can be found on the other side of the property, where there is room and facilities for horses including a stable block, a two acre field and a paddock with shelter.

The house is positioned to the south eastern side of Anglesey, with the sea on the doorstep, tourist 'hot spots' nearby and the town of Beaumaris a short drive away.

There's a beach out the front (Joan Hopkin Estate Agents / onthemarket.com)

But with such a special, secret location and unique home to fall in love with, why would a new owner even consider venturing out through the gate to the busy world outside?

The beach side double-sided bungalow is on the market for offers over £1m with estate agent Joan Hopkin, call them on 01248 810847 to find out more.
