Just a couple of hundred of metres from the delightful boutiques, cafes and restaurants of Mumbles, this apartment property could not be more perfectly situated for a fun and active seaside holiday. A little further away are the stunning, family-friendly beaches of Rotherslade and Langland Bay, both less than a mile. Once the ice cream parlours have been investigated and the sandcastles built, head to Mumbles’ own impressive fortress – brooding Oystermouth Castle. Several more castles pepper this coastline – the enchanting sea views at Pennard Castle, 5 miles, are a particular draw. For indoor pursuits, Swansea’s Maritime Quarter is only 5 miles and is home to the National Waterfront Museum and the LC Waterpark.
This beautiful duplex encompasses the first and second floors of a converted Victorian townhouse and offers heritage charm and modern comfort in equal measure. On the first floor, there’s a fine, spacious lounge featuring an attractive period fireplace, high ceilings and large windows to unwind in. A well-equipped kitchen/diner offers both a breakfast bar for quick bites, and a dining table and chairs for more relaxed meals, and there’s a good-sized bathroom on this floor too, with a claw-foot, free-standing bath and a walk-in shower. The high ceilings and pretty ornamental period fireplaces continue on the second floor where they feature in both bedrooms – one double and one twin room.
From the kitchen/diner, a glass door leads out onto a compact patio garden with garden furniture – ideal for a cuppa in the sunshine after a day by the shore – and if the kids need a run-around, there’s a playpark just a few hundred metres walk at Underhill Park.
