Auctions are usually packed with a variety of lots to tempt a prospective buyer, from rundown homes that need more than a lick of paint to huge buildings no longer used for the reason they were built, plus plots of land oozing with potential.
But it is arguably more unusual to find a dream home in the countryside that is walking distance to the coast in amongst these auction buildings that need vision, or a substantial renovation budget, or both. It can be a challenge sometimes to find a modern auction abode that can just be bought and lived in immediately.
From the outside, this coastal inspired contemporary home looks rather uncomfortable amongst the houses needing a full or partial renovation in the auction catalogue. It looks like it needs absolutely nothing doing to it, apart from a new owner's personal interior design taste.

The first thing to notice actually at this home that hugs a quiet country lane is the eye-catching, cedar wood cladding that sets this home apart from the maybe more expected countryside retreat of traditional stone. The next thing to notice is the amazing rural vista and mountain top views peeking out from around the house. The tease of a sensational and panoramic view that will expand as you travel to the back of this auction property raises the excitement level to the maximum.
Located on the very fringe of the tiny village of Llangoed on Anglesey, there's so much beauty to discover surrounding the house that includes coast, country and landmark buildings. A stroll down the lane can offer you a reward of a number of pretty sandy beaches and coastal coves to explore, including Lleiniog Beach.
Then wander further afield and discover Penmon lighthouse and the National Trust owned stretches of coastline. But if socialising and shopping in town is a wanted option too, Beaumaris is only about three miles away.
Back at the house and looking on Google maps takes you back in time to 2009 when the site was indeed occupied by a small, traditional looking house. But the past has gone and the future has now been constructed to offer a more contemporary take on a country home.
And unlike so many auction houses, there's no damp, mould-infested walls, no holes in the roof or boarded up windows and doors. In fact, the house looks 'move-in ready' and even the garden looks super tidy and well-maintained.
Give into temptation and wander around the side of the house to the rear garden and the substantial size of this plot becomes clearer. There's even ample room for a surprise static caravan in the garden, as well as a summerhouse.
The auction house selling the home states that there is planning in place for a detached double garage. But maybe a new owner might want to investigate a separate dwelling to the side of the house for another member of the family - there's certainly room for a self-contained annexe or one-bed cottage.
The views at the back open up into a mesmerising panoramic vista that is truly breath-taking. Standing on the rear patio the benefit of the home's elevated position becomes clear, with the garden gently melting into rolling fields, hedgerows, tree tops and mountain peaks on the horizon.
As the house is a newer version of what stood before, it can benefit from more modern methods of energy supply and efficiency. With the cost of energy increasing a new owner will surely be thrilled to discover that the property benefits from double glazing throughout and air source central heating supported by a solar PV installation for hot water. And if you want to try and save more money on your energy bills at your current home and don't have panels or air source heating, these tips might help.
Inside, the house is a semi upside-down house, which makes total sense as the views become more spectacular as you climb the stairs, with the huge first floor balcony a marvellous add-on to the spacious lounge. There's a substantial double glass door unit that perfectly frames the glorious view, that includes glimpses of the sea, as well as providing seamless inside outside flow.
But before you make a dash for the stairs and that sunny balcony, the open-plan kitchen diner on the ground floor is a special spot to enjoy too. With one whole wall of glass windows and doors at the end of the space, the connection to the stunning outdoors is maximised.
The contemporary white and grey gloss kitchen units only provide a brief distraction from the wonderful view, which has been cleverly incorporated fully into the kitchen space by a continuous row of windows that even turn the corner. Anyone chopping carrots or doing the dishes in this space will feel totally immersed in the view - as much as you can be when you're actually inside.
But to get to the outside and that patio with a view is not a challenge, as the dining area of this open-plan space is crowned by a wall of glass doors that open directly to the garden. It's not hard to imagine endless alfresco dining experiences to come in the future on this sunny terrace, with some of nature's most spectacular creations as a backdrop.
The ground floor also has a snug area off the kitchen diner with views of the garden plus two bedrooms and a bathroom at the front and side of the house. Plus this sizeable abode also has a handy utility room that keeps the clutter and laundry contained.
The first floor is dominated by the lounge with its adjacent generous balcony, but the master bedroom on this level can also boast a connection to the views via an inviting window seat built into the bay window. This principal bedroom also has an ensuite and built-in wardrobes.
The fourth bedroom can be found on this upper floor too, and is currently being used as a home office. Every area of this house has been carefully considered, with a very welcome storage room found next to the stairs as a bonus place to stuff all your stuff, happily out of sight. One floor down and there's an additional cupboard by the front door for coats, shoes and muddy boots.
With so much on offer here, from modern methods of heating to panoramic views, from space and storage to sociable spaces both inside and out, what could be sending this contemporary countryside abode near the coast to auction?
Marc Morris, director and auctioneer at Auction House South Wales says: "We understand that the house has been built with a timber frame which, of course, is not uncommon in this day and age. However, the building method which has been carried out on this occasion is different to a standard constructed timber frame build. Therefore, we would advise any prospective purchasers to obtain and carry out their own investigations with regard to the build method and available lending for the purchase of the property."
This timber clad stunner is going under the hammer with a guide price of £360,000, from Monday March 28 at midday and ending on Wednesday March 30 at midday.
