Seller Insight The current owners were attracted to the property by its wonderful seafront position within walking distance of Mumbles long before it came up for purchase at auction in 2011. The house turned out to be

in a sorry state and needed stripping down to its brick shell. About two years later, the owners were finally able to enjoy its contemporary new interior with underfloor heating throughout.

Arranged over four levels, there’s a lower ground floor with two reception rooms, while the high ceilinged ground floor includes an open plan kitchen, dining and living room to one side of the hall, and a utility room, cloakroom and formal lounge to the other. A single integrated garage with roof storage opens off the kitchen. The first floor has three en suite bedrooms, one with a dressing room and one with French doors opening to a balcony, while the top floor has another spacious en suite bedroom.

Above is a versatile loft room, while below are two separate reception rooms, each with French doors opening directly to the lower level rear garden.

The local area has excellent retail amenities and schools for all ages.

Green Gates not only enjoys an enviable sea front setting with spacious and versatile accommodation but also offers easy access to all amenities.

Unique feature A particular feature of the refurbished interior is the new oak and glass staircase that links all four levels. Favourite roomThe owners especially enjoy the open plan room, where the living area benefits from a sunny east-facing bay window, which has French doors opening to a raised terrace with views over the sea; the formal lounge has French doors to the terrace as well.

Favourite aspect of the grounds/local areaThe owners say the gardens are very private and quiet because they are at a lower level than the house, while direct access to the promenade enables the owners to leave the car at home and walk or cycle to amenities in Mumbles and further afield, such as to the Welsh National Pool in Swansea.

What they’ll miss mostThe owners will especially miss the fabulous views, which take in the wide horseshoe of Swansea Bay from Mumbles Head around to Port Talbot.
