Greatest homes: sea views

We all love to live beside the seaside, so looking out at it every day is the dream

Living on the coast has many advantages, so to be right beside it, looking out onto the beach, listening to the surf at night, and finding that quiet contemplation in the waves at the end of a difficult day, really has to be one of the best feelings there is. Whether you’ve a house facing the seascape or an apartment glimpsing it from your vantage point, grabbing that sea view can really lift your home – and your spirits. And it’s just a short walk to those summer barbecues on the beach!
