Sold through agent Savills, the current owners bought the house in the 1980s and set about renovating it and now use it as a holiday home.

However, aside from the tidal issue, parking is provided via a license from a neighboring owner and the house is just 500m² – the same size as most small apartments.
The Rhoscolyn area is described as “particularly attractive with a horseshoe-shaped sandy beach between headlands full of pretty holiday homes”.

The bathroom is also spacious and features a bathtub, shower and stunning colored tiles
Concerns about the tidal issue have been raised on Reddit. One person wrote: “Imagine arriving at the rental tired and exhausted because of a delayed flight or train and then realizing the tide has come in.”
There is a regular high speed train service from Holyhead to London Euston which takes three hours and 39 minutes and Liverpool Airport is 103 miles away.
Although many on Reddit had something to say about the property.
One house hunter said: “Imagine arriving at the rental, tired and exhausted because of a delayed flight or train, and then realizing the flood has come.”
“Or that Tesco/Amazon/DPD etc will be late with delivery and therefore won’t be able to deliver today and won’t have anywhere to put the ‘While You Were Out’ card.”
Another said: The price is crazy but it’s on one of the most popular beaches on the island.
“Stunning beach with a town aimed at wealthy tourists.” It is ideal as a holiday rental. And the tidal information will not deter tourists due to the location.”
Another added: “It’s attractive enough but the price is INSANE.”
“Besides, there’s no way I’m going to believe it’s going to be safe and dry here if there’s a bad sea storm. ‘That’s a dam it’s standing on, for heaven’s sake.’
But one replied: “Honestly, you don’t understand the negative comments here. “The location, the views and the beauty of the house make it a gem of a property.”
