Isle of Wight — £2,495,000
A former vineyard in Wellow, in the heart of the quieter western half of the Isle of Wight.
The present owners have spent six years transforming the place, and it has to be said they've done so beautifully.
The purchase price includes the delightful main thatched home, but also four holiday cottages built on the site of the historic winery.
For sale with Fine & Country. See more pictures of this property.
Anglesey — £1,700,000
A lighthouse cottage in a spectacular location at the entrance to the Menai Strait, with breathtaking views towards Puffin Island, Snowdonia and of course the Trwyn Du Lighthouse.
It's surprisingly spacious inside despite all being set on one level, with four bedrooms and plenty of living space.
The place has been entirely re-done — right down to the plumbing and wiring — to put it in great shape.
For sale with Jackson-Stops. See more pictures of this property.
