With its dramatic coastline, expansive sea views and welcome retreat from the fast pace of modern life, North Wales is quickly becoming the go-to destination for Cheshire’s discerning buyers. Families and professionals alike are embracing the opportunity to balance the energy of inland living with the serenity of the Welsh coast, whether as a weekend haven or a smart investment.
Gascoigne Halman is reporting growing interest from Cheshire-based buyers, many of whom are drawn by the unique lifestyle North Wales offers: unspoiled beaches, charming villages, rich history and an ever-improving road network that makes weekend getaways entirely manageable.
Nowhere is this trend more evident than in two standout property opportunities currently being marketed by the firm, one in Anglesey, the other in the prestigious coastal enclave of Abersoch.
“The surge in North Wales holiday home ownership among Cheshire residents is no passing trend, it’s fast becoming a lifestyle statement,” commented Richard Leece, manager of Gascoigne Halman’s Alderley Edge office, which is marketing the properties. “For many, the complexity of buying and maintaining a second home abroad that they only visit a few times a year, no longer makes sense. Today’s buyers want is somewhere they can escape to every weekend and school holiday, without the hassle of travelling through an airport.
“Destinations like Anglesey and Abersoch have become fashionable in their own right and are now highly coveted as second home locations. They offer the kind of understated luxury and natural beauty that discerning buyers are prioritising over far-flung resorts. Buyers are drawn not just to the dramatic scenery and high-spec homes, but to the lifestyle, paddleboarding before brunch, long coastal walks, sunset drinks on the balcony. These aren’t just holiday homes, they're weekend sanctuaries, offering a sense of freedom and calm that perfectly counteracts the busy pace of our working lives.”
Gascoigne Halman is proud to be marketing these exceptional properties and helping more Cheshire buyers find their perfect retreat in North Wales. Whether you're dreaming of a peaceful coastal apartment or a luxury home with unrivalled sea views, these two opportunities are worth exploring…
Coastal Luxury on the Isle of Anglesey – brand new homes in Bull Bay
Situated on the former site of the Bull Bay Hotel, Tai Porth Llechog on Anglesey’s northern coastline combines architectural excellence with one of the most dramatic settings in Wales. With three detached homes, a dormer bungalow and nine luxury apartments priced from £275,000, it offers a wide range of high-spec accommodation designed to make the most of the area’s panoramic views.
The detached homes feature an “upside-down” design with living spaces on the first floor to maximise enjoyment of the sweeping sea views. Large balconies, open-plan layouts and floor-to-ceiling glazing ensure light-filled interiors that remain warm and inviting. Every property includes modern handless kitchens with quartz worktops and integrated appliances, luxury bathrooms with black-framed shower screens, and thoughtfully landscaped gardens, many with countryside or coastal outlooks.
EV charging point wiring, Ring doorbells and hot tub connection points bring convenience and modernity, while solar panels and double-glazing support energy efficiency. The development’s elevated position ensures uninterrupted sea views and the surrounding Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) adds to its appeal.
Bull Bay is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. From fishing and boating to golfing and coastal path walking, the area is steeped in natural beauty and recreational opportunities. With easy access to the A5025 and A55, this remarkable location offers an accessible sanctuary that’s far removed from everyday stress.
All properties at Tai Porth Llechog must be sold as secondary residences or holiday homes. There is an occupancy restriction from Anglesey Planning Authority whereby none of the properties can be used as the primary dwelling by any prospective purchaser.

Abersoch continues to draw attention as one of North Wales' most desirable coastal locations. With a cosmopolitan village feel, boutique shops, excellent restaurants and a welcoming atmosphere, it’s no wonder this area sees a strong return of interest from Cheshire buyers year after year.
