Draw up a wish list for a seaside property and a lighthouse will tick every box. Panoramic views? Tick. A sense of romance, history and adventure? Tick. No neighbours for miles in either direction? Tick. A dream home, in other words. Until recently, however, it was very difficult to buy one. Many adjoining keepers’ cottages were offered for sale in the Eighties and Nineties, when lighthouses became automated, but not the storm-lashed towers that are such a part of Britain’s marine landscape.
The Old lighthouse, St Ann’s Head, Dale, Pembrokeshire. A converted lighthouse with four/five bedrooms, 360-degree observation lounge, and three-bedroom annexe. Currently let as two holiday homes but could be single family home. £975,000, Savills (02920 368930; savills.co.u
