2 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright two-bedroom city flat near waterfront amenities and transport links.
2 double bedrooms within an average-sized 722 sq ft apartment
Waterside location in Swansea Marina — bars, cafes, beach nearby
Constructed 2007–2011; double glazing and insulated walls
Electric storage heating — likely higher energy bills than gas
Leasehold tenure — review lease length and service charges
High local crime rates and very deprived area profile
Council tax rated above average — budget for higher running costs
Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband for home working
Set on Swansea Marina, this two-bedroom apartment offers waterside living with practical, modern finishes. The open-plan living/kitchen maximises light and space across an average-sized 722 sq ft layout, suited to first-time buyers seeking a city-base near cafes, bars and the waterfront. Double glazing and secure entry are useful comforts for urban life.
The property is leasehold and was constructed between 2007–2011, with system-built insulated walls and double glazing installed after 2002. Heating is via electric storage heaters; this keeps installation simple but can mean higher running costs compared with gas. Broadband and mobile signal are reported strong, supporting home working and streaming.
Be realistic about local challenges: the area has a very deprived profile and recorded higher crime levels, and council tax is above average. These factors affect both day-to-day living and resale or rental considerations. There is no flood risk.
For a buyer focused on location and lifestyle—waterside restaurants, the city centre and the beach are within easy reach—this apartment is a practical, move-in-ready option. Check lease details, service charges, and the single-bathroom layout before committing.
