If come across this row of 15 new houses constructed above the coast in the charming village of Aberporth you might not realise that they are arguably distinctive in a number ways, and not just the lovely location, walking distance to the beach and the eye-catching exterior design.

The homes are part of the Longshore development, a high-quality scheme of just 15 houses, situated above the award-winning Aberporth beach and walking distance to the sandy shore and the core of the village.

Developed by niche housebuilder, Evermôr, which specialises in bringing design-led, sustainably focused homes into extraordinary locations, Longshore was launched as part of a pilot scheme by Welsh Government designed to help local people to buy in their area.

Three of the homes were sold to local key workers within the affordable market, while under the scheme, known as Fair Chance, the remaining 12 homes were marketed exclusively to local buyers for a fixed period of 6 months. The opportunity attracted considerable interest and over 50 per cent of the homes were sold to local people and those with local connections.

The seven remaining homes are now being made available to all on the open market. They include four bedroom properties priced from £545,000. All homes boast high-specification finishes, including underfloor heating, award-winning Welsh manufactured Sigma 3 kitchens with integrated Neff appliances, a pantry and a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden.
