This well-presented two-bedroom ground-floor apartment sits a short walk from the seafront and Mumbles amenities, offering low-maintenance coastal living in West Cross. The layout uses 659 sq ft efficiently: a bright lounge opening to the kitchen, two comfortable bedrooms and a private patio that extends living space outdoors during warmer months. Practical fittings include double glazing, mains gas central heating and ultrafast fibre broadband.
Running costs are modest: a low service charge (£200 pa), minimal ground rent (£10 pa) and a cheap Council Tax band B. The Energy Rating of C indicates reasonable efficiency for a property of this age, making it suitable for first-time buyers or downsizers seeking an affordable coastal base.
Important lease information: 79 years remain on the lease. This short remaining term is a material issue — many mortgage lenders may refuse to lend, and lease extension costs should be factored into any purchase. The local area scores high for deprivation and crime statistics; buyers should consider management, security and resale implications.
Overall, the apartment is a practical, low‑upkeep home or coastal retreat with genuine convenience to local shops, schools and the promenade. It offers immediate move-in potential but requires attention to the lease term and local area factors before proceeding.
