We do love to be beside the seaside – and that’s official. Our love affair with the water was confirmed by Rightmove’s Ideal Home report, published late last year, which revealed that Britons would rather live by the sea than anywhere else. St Ives in Cornwall was rated the nation’s most desirable location, followed by Poole and Brighton, with several other waterside towns featuring in the top 10. Whether sailing, walking, enjoying the views or simply breathing in the fresh air, being close to water is relaxing and instils a sense of wellbeing. If the idea of waterside living floats your boat, why not move and make it a lifestyle choice rather than an occasional treat?
As a nation, we’ve always been drawn to the coast – and recent TV hits such as Broadchurch and Poldark have only enhanced its appeal
