Set across two floors of a Victorian residence, this two-bedroomed apartment is close to all the attractions of Mumbles and a lovely local park. Full of country cottage style, this wonderful apartment is the perfect place to really unwind with friends or family in a fantastic location right by the Gower Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Period features flow throughout this duplex apartment, which is arranged across the first and second floors of a pretty terrace of Victorian villas that overlook Underhill Park. Light and bright, it emphasises quality time with a first-floor kitchen/diner that has access to a courtyard garden, alongside a welcoming lounge and stylish bathroom with a roll-top bath and separate shower. On the second floor are two peaceful bedrooms, one with a double bed, the other with twins; each has a feature fireplace while gas central heating ensures comfort whatever the weather. Sit in the courtyard garden with your morning coffee or a wind-down drink at the end of a busy day; if you want to stretch your legs, the park is just across the road and has a children’s playground as well as multiple sports pitches.
All the shops, eateries and attractions of Mumbles are within 1.5 miles, so once you’ve found a parking spot you could explore on foot – Oystermouth Castle on a high limestone ridge overlooking the village is especially stunning, while the Victorian pier combines traditional family fun with Grade II-listed credentials. Stroll along the seafront for a range of refreshment stops – the local ice-cream shops are legendary or, if you want to explore further afield, head 4.5 miles east to Swansea, the second-largest city in Wales. On the opposite side of the headland, Langland Bay has safe sands backed by traditional beach huts; sheltered from the predominant onshore winds, this is a surfing hot spot that’s equally impressive for strolls at sunset.
