A contemporary dream home has hit the property market and is guaranteed to turn heads and ignite envy, not just for the space that it offers inside but for its astounding location. Abbey Lodge is a three-storey, handsome home that can boast one of the most exclusive spots by the sea in Wales.
There are a few locations in Wales that are genuinely so unique that you rarely get the opportunity to buy a house and live there. And when a property with one of these exclusive addresses does appear on the market you have to have a very, very healthy budget to join the elite group of current homeowners that call that road their home.
Most of these dream homes located in these special spots have an outstanding and unique selling point, and arguably the most popular are uninterrupted sea views, oodles of space or potential to expand, unique character or design and an exclusive address.

Abbey Lodge, for sale for £2.5m, ticks all of these potential millionaire buyers' 'must-have' boxes but the view and the address are surely top of the list.
Nestled into the western slopes of the Great Orme on the north Wales coast, this beast of a building can be found on Llys Helyg Drive, known in the area as 'millionaire's row'.
The road joins a small collection of Welsh streets that can claim this description, with Cardiff's Druidstone Road and Abersoch's Benar Headland certainly other addresses that can easily join this exclusive and expensive club.
According to the estate agent, Llys Helyg Drive is one of the most sought after addresses in the region, famed for its luxury market properties, world class vistas, Great Orme backdrop and, being west facing, its breath-taking sunsets.
It's not a surprise then to see the sea at the bottom of the garden, with a spacious deck constructed at the water's edge as a fabulous front row seat to the myriad of mesmerising colours each unique sunset displays.
It's an awesome place to sit any time of the day or night, watching the ocean, sky, weather and wildlife through to dusk and then gazing into the patchwork of stars in the inky black night sky. Peaceful and connected with nature, but don't be fooled, this section of the garden is made for partying too.
And don't let rain or wind, or even a baking hot sun, put you off from wandering down to the most special spot at this home, as a garden room awaits to greet and shelter you.
With the Great Orme as a backdrop and incredible vistas on the other side, locations don't come much better than this. From the house and the garden the panoramic, expansive views stretching across open waters allow you to spot Anglesey, Puffin Island and Snowdonia.
As well as the construction of the amazing deck at the end of the garden, the house was designed and built in 2011, and recently refurbished, to make the most of its exclusive location with windows in every corner to ensure the scenery is always on show.
The remote-controlled electric gates welcome you to three floors of space, from the vast entrance hall that easily accommodates a grand piano with still oodles of space to spare, to the lounge that runs the depth of the house and spills out onto the elevated terrace.
As this house is a fairly recent addition to the street the design has, of course, been informed by the sea view location, so this terrace is a beast of a build.
Running the width of the house, it provides seamless outdoor access from the three main reception rooms and ensures connection between house and views are maximised. What a place to sit and chill, or entertain and party.
On the other side of the hall is the biggest space in the house - it's huge. A nine by five meter lounge dining room that has dining at the rear and a lounge area at the front, looking out over the terrace and into the views via glass doors.
This dining lounge then flows into a stylish kitchen through a big open doorway - the proportions of this house never seem to diminish.
This kitchen area is yet another social spot, with an integrated breakfast bar hugging the end of the substantial kitchen island. And yes, of course, the kitchen flows out onto the terrace too, via another set of sliding glass doors.
Light and space are the two constants in this house, and they follow you up the staircase via a tower of tall windows that accompany you on your journey upwards.
The first floor is an embarrassment of balconies - three fabulous ways for you to connect to the view and refreshing sea breezes from three different beds.
The master bedroom might be the room that can boast a substantial amount of space that runs front to back and includes a generous ensuite with bath, walk-in shower and twin sinks, a separate dressing room, and a Juliet balcony.
However, at the other end of the central landing is a bedroom that goes up a level on the balcony stakes and offers the occupants a balcony to step out onto, a place to sit and enjoy a morning coffee or evening night-cap.
This bedroom suite also has a dedicated dressing room and an ensuite, but the suite is smaller overall - so which bedroom would you prefer?
There are two more bedrooms on this level, both of which are ensuite, and then another climb of the stairs gets you to two more bedrooms on the second floor, one of which is currently being used as an office and the other as a mini gym and games room.
But if you ever did want to wander from the space, light and location that Abbey Lodge offers the agent states that the fabulous beaches of West Shore are just a short stroll along the coast, and it's just a short drive to the town of Llandudno.
Explore the Great Orme above you, enjoy the beautiful beaches that surround you, visit the two marinas and three golf courses for some outdoor activity on your doorstep, but you'll always look forward to coming home to this house, with this view, at this location.
