It’s about £100 000 for the bungalow and £2 900 000 for the land it sits on, stunning setting though.

I think it's way too expensive for quite a small plot on this stretch of coast, which is way too busy for my liking in the two peak months.

One could have this place, which is where I stayed as a child when holidaying from London in the 1950s. Again, very busy in season, but plenty of change from £3m.

Being boringly realistic, if I had to relocate to somewhere facing the Atlantic gales, I could almost afford this one:

But with £3m to flaunt, I'd choose a different coast:

Not bad - and if that coast path photo is typical of the coast path in that part of the country = a coast path one can actually walk on without a high proportion of it disconcertingly close to the cliff edge (ie the Pembrokeshire Coast Path is only for the brave imo - considering how many different stretches I've started walking along/blanched visibly at how unsafe it felt/turned back). Don't know if the rest of the Welsh section is any safer? (doubtful - as I read that the people doing it were deliberately making it as near as they could physically manage to the cliff edge!!!).

We have loads of thatches round here. There are just too many reports in the local papers of roof fires destroying homes for me to ever contemplate having one.

Having done that and got the t-shirt - in Wiltshire - we certainly wouldn't buy another. We stuck it out for about 3.5 years and fully restored/extended sympathetically, but I can honestly say I hated every moment in the house......the smell of thatch was awful, the insurance premiums astronomical and the fear of fires terrifying. Never again, however attractive the house

Never had a problem with the coast paths in N Devon/Cornwall and I don't like heights. Morthoe's Rockham beach is never overcrowded, as it takes a little effort to reach it. There's steps down the cliff, but if I can do it, so can most people.

After those comments - I googled to see if my memory had deceived me about coast path walking prior to (trying to) try out the Welsh section of it. Brought up images of South West coast path - lots of them a comfortable distance from the cliff edge and lots of them nice and wide. Then googled for images of Welsh coast path - yep very narrow. Yep...darn close/too close to cliff edge.

I gather the reasoning of these men that did the Welsh section was to deliberately make it as close as possible/too darn close to the cliff edge for the sake of best views possible:cool:. Personally - I never found views were a problem anyway - and I'll take width I'm used to and distance from cliff edge I'm used to any day instead. Did some googling around for other peoples views about this and found various "its unsafe" type comments from other people too. Fingers crossed the wish for further tourist income will see some changes to those paths - like wider and further away from the cliff edges.

3 million for a bunglow.... seems a bit steep even if it does have amazing views....

Reminded me of this one......

We considered viewing this when it was £140k (irrc) for just one small, dilapidated stone barn with no land. Next time I looked it was £2million :eek: At least it comes with 200+ acres though, lol :rotfl:

Also saw this while searching for somewhere to buy today......

Fab location......but £450k for a bungalow that - apparently - is only fit for demolition

There is a bath in the property, but no loo! EA blurb doesn't mention one in the yard.

How can people live without a loo in 2017? From the furniture its a probate property

Edit - this property is overpriced as a property down the same road 3 bedrooms and bathroom in updated state was sold for the same amount as the above property is on the market for
