Houses like this 'truly special' seaside property don't come around very often
It has incredible views and private access to an iconic beach A 'truly special' seaside property in a beautiful part of Gwynedd has gone on the market. Promising 'uninterrupted panoramic views' of the coastline, Glan Y Mor is billed as a waterfront retreat in an iconic location that embodies the idea of coastal living. The detached house in Abersoch, on the Llŷn Peninsula, comes with a hefty price tag, with offers invited in excess of £2.1m. But for this, the buyer will get large plot in a prestige location and a property with magnificent sea views from all four bedrooms. Via a steel ladder, it also has direct private access to the beach in Abersoch's inner harbour. Elvins Estate Agents, which is marketing the property, said this accessibility is a 'luxury few properties can claim'. The company, which specialises in Abersoch properties, is clear about Glan Y Mor's special qualities. It said: 'Imagine waking to the gentle lapping of waves, stepping directly onto the sand from your own garden, and gazing out at an endless panorama of sparkling water. 'This isn't a dream; it's Glan Y Mor, a truly exceptional detached waterfront property offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of Abersoch's coveted coastline. 'Its enviable position provides panoramic views that will captivate you day after day.' In one direction lies the 'expansive beauty' of Warren beach stretching towards the Llanbedrog headland. In the other, Elvins says the 'vibrant activity of Abersoch's inner harbour unfolds before your eyes'. Nearby is the emerging form of Ty Gwyn Abersoch, a new £30m luxury waterfront hotel and apartment complex. Located on the former site of the Whitehouse Hotel, its developers are now aiming for a summer 2026 opening following a series of delays. In some quarters, Glan Y Mor is seen as a litmus test for Abersoch's property market. Currently it's used as a second home and holiday let – a category of ownership under pressure from letting quotas and additional council tax payments. Selling values of other mixed-use properties in Gwynedd have suffered as a result. However Glan Y Mor is expected to buck the trend: its incredible location makes it an almost unique proposition that rarely comes around. It can, of course, be used as a main residence. As it has existing mixed use permissions, it can also continue to be used as a second home or as a holiday let, the later potentially without council tax premiums. Other properties wanting to be used this way now require planning consent under Gwynedd's Article 4 Direction. Online, one local said its use as an Airbnb would attract healthy returns not just for the owner but also for the wider community. 'This house should bring in a lot of people and help the tourism in Abersoch,' they said. As Abersoch's stock of holiday homes has flat-lined, thanks to Article 4, Elvins agrees that Glan Y Mor's dual functionality makes it a 'unique investment opportunity' – one that allows the owner to 'generate income while retaining the joy of a personal coastal retreat'. The property has two bathrooms, a kitchen and a lounge. Above the main living areas, a loft room has potential for further development subject to building regulations approval, said the agency. Elvins added: 'Glan Y Mor is more than just a property; it's a lifestyle. It's the tranquility of private beach access, the drama of ever-changing sea views, and the endless possibilities of Abersoch on your doorstep. 'Don't miss this rare opportunity to acquire a truly special waterfront residence.' Beach access Uninterrupted views Patio dining

Tiny patch of sand on British beach with stunning panoramic views goes up for sale for staggering price - but you'll have to build your own hut to go with it
A tiny patch of sand on a UK beach has gone on the market with a six figure price tag. Nestled between beach huts on Porth Mawr in Abersoch, Wales, the sliver of land is up for sale for £100,000, the price of a flat or even a small house in parts of the country. The location had previously housed a wooden shack too but this was damaged in storms and pulled down by the owner. Planning permission has been secured from Cyngor Gwynedd for a new beach hut despite it being branded an 'overdevelopment' by Llanengan Community Council. The piece of land is on the market with Elvins Estate Agents who say it 'beautiful panoramic views across the bay towards St Tudwals Islands and Machroes Beach'. They said: 'An exciting opportunity to acquire a beach hut plot on Abersoch main beach with planning permission to build a new hut. 'Benefit from owning your own part of Abersoch beach with the convenience of storage and shelter at the waters edge. Beautiful panoramic views across the bay towards St Tudwals Islands and Machroes Beach. 'We believe the property to be Freehold, but potential purchasers should seek clarification from their solicitor prior to an exchange of contracts.' In the planning application, applicant Jonathan Edwards said: 'The site is on the coast line of Porth Mawr Beach, Abersoch in a line of similar beach huts running north from the beach access toward the Sailing Club. 'The building will only be used as a Beach Hut and no heating will be provided and also no requirement for foul waste will be required. 'The rainwater from the roof will discharge directly into the sand which is what occurs presently with the existing beach hut and every beach hut adjacent. Porth Mawr beach runs at nearly half a mile in length and is known among locals for its golden sand and is mainly backed by the dunes.
