This bright ground-floor apartment in Fern Court offers comfortable, low-maintenance retirement living in prime Sketty, just a short walk from Singleton Park and Sketty Cross. The lounge opens onto a private balcony, and the modern kitchen plus two generous double bedrooms create roomy, practical accommodation for independent living.
The master bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower, with a separate bathroom for visitors. At about 747 sq ft the layout feels spacious for a two-bedroom apartment, and the property benefits from mains gas central heating and an EPC rating of C. There is no flood risk and mobile and broadband connections are strong.
Important practical points: the apartment is leasehold (ground rent £495) and council tax is above average. The building dates from 1900–1929, double glazing was installed before 2002 and the cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation — buyers should expect potential energy-efficiency improvements and associated costs. The local area shows high deprivation despite cosmopolitan nearby neighbourhoods, which may affect resale or rental demand.
Overall this is a convenient, well-presented retirement apartment suited to downsizers who prioritise location, community and easy access to shops and parks, and who are comfortable managing leasehold costs and possible energy upgrades.
