Set on the popular SA1 Waterfront, this modern 1‑bed apartment offers bright open‑plan living and high ceilings from an industrial conversion. At 520 sq ft, the layout feels larger than average thanks to large windows and exposed brickwork, making it attractive to first‑time buyers and investors seeking a well‑located city pied‑a‑terre or rental unit.
Practical aspects are clear: the property is leasehold with an annual service charge of £1,828 and a small ground rent of £50. Heating is electric (room heaters) and the EPC is rated D; both factors can affect running costs and should be considered when budgeting. The building dates from 2003–2006 and benefits from double glazing and a garage parking space.
The location is a major selling point — a short walk to Swansea Marina, cafés, restaurants, The Arena and city centre amenities — supporting both owner‑occupation and strong rental demand, especially from professionals and students in the multicultural neighbourhood. Crime is low and connectivity is excellent with fast broadband and strong mobile signal.
Buyers should note the area is classified as very deprived, which can influence long‑term capital growth, and the leasehold costs are material to affordability and rental yield calculations. Overall, this is a modern, characterful flat in a lively waterfront setting, well suited to buyers seeking convenience and investment potential, provided they allow for service charges and higher running costs from electric heating.
