Headland: The property occupies around 18 acres of headland
Castle-like: The walls of the property create a striking structure
Viewing point: Previous owners have reported occasional dolphin sightings
Standing proud at the north tip of the Anglesey coastline is this unique nine bedroom property for sale, which comes with an additional two holiday cottages and freehold of the lighthouse tower. It could make the perfect B&B!

2. Fort Green, Aldeburgh, Suffolk (Guide price of £1,200,000 Savills, Ipswich)
Beacon of white: Set back on the beach, the Old Mill House stands out prominently
Beach for miles: Aldeburgh is a coastal town and is known for its eye-catching architecture
Original features: The drawing room’s vaulted ceiling features traditional beams
This four-bedroom property, located in Aldeburgh, which means “old fort”, stands alone on one of Suffolk’s best-known beaches. It was converted from its former life as a mill house into a home in 1902. The central circular tower provides stunning floor-to-ceiling views of the sea and the property also has a private garden, courtyard and parking.
3. Norton, Faversham, Kent (Guide price of £1,500,000 Savills, Country Houses)
Listed design: The Lime Works is Grade II listed and it’s not hard to see why

This Grade II listed 1930s property was created by converting two water towers into an art deco-inspired contemporary home. The Lime Works offers residents ample space – being arranged over four floors – and luxury with floor-to-ceiling windows offering plenty of natural light. The spiral staircases wind their way to the rooftop terrace and pool and to the six bedrooms and bathrooms. The master bedroom occupies the entire fourth floor! With the look of a lighthouse it boasts its own gym, cinema, library, treadmill jets for swimming on the spot and a three-storey dining room.
