There is an elite group of residential roads in Wales that can genuinely claim to be the most unique, the most sought-after, and the most recognisable in our nation - and Windsor Esplanade, Cardiff is one of them on all three fronts.
The street sits in a prime Cardiff Bay location, directly opposite Cardiff Bay Wetlands Reserve and can boast uninterrupted, panoramic views across the water to the barrage and Penarth headland. And with a road name that includes the word 'esplanade', you know it's going to be a posh place to live and a memorable address to impress.
It's a street of two halves - the glorious period homes of the past and the posh contemporary homes of the present. At the far end of the quiet, dead-end road, before you get to Cardiff Yacht Club, you find the modern apartment complex called Lacuna. This distinctive building, with glass balcony fronted apartments overlooking the bay vista, fan out from a central circular tower that give the building a distinctive design.
