This “rare” property for sale is one of the last privately owned lighthouses in the UK and has “awe-inspiring” views.

The Old Lighthouse, at St Anne’s Head, dates back to 1844 and has panoramic views from a 360-degree observational tower.

The lighthouse sits on a clifftop south of the village of Dale, and is made up of two self-contained properties which could be converted into one, with eight bedrooms and five bathrooms in total.

Until recently, the home was run as a successful holiday let with 100 per cent occupancy.

On the ground floor, there is a large social and living space, a kitchen and a utility room.

To the left of the entrance, there are two bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms, while to the right is an additional reception room and two further bedrooms, plus a bathroom.

In the observation tower, there is a ground floor bedroom, a master bedroom on the second floor level, and a crow’s nest, with a lounge area that has panoramic views.

As well as the cottage and the main lighthouse, there is a recreational wing, with a pool, a sauna and a games room.

Outside there is ample parking and separate seating and patio areas making the most of the views.

The property is for sale with Luxury Welsh Homes for a guide price of £700,000.

The agent commented: “A rare opportunity to acquire one of the last privately owned Lighthouses in the UK.

“This unusual home was run as a successful holiday let with 100% occupancy until recently, however, the property requires some TLC to bring it back to its former glory.”
