Quayside Swell

Sitting directly on Swansea's quay, this modern home is a contemporary respite from the hustle and bustle. It's about a twenty-minute walk from the city centre and twenty-five from the sprawling Swansea Beach, with bayfront cafes and restaurants within easy reach when you don't feel like cooking. As far as locations go, we think it's spot-on – especially with the glittering Swansea Bay practically on your doorstep.

Make the most of the seaside views on the balconies and terraces, which we think are the perfect spots to enjoy cups of coffee in the morning light and glasses of wine come sunset. On warm days, open the bi-fold doors and feel the sea breeze drift through the living area. Between the four stylish bedrooms, two comfy leather sofas and the six-seater dining table, there's more than enough space to spread out and get comfortable. Techy extras like a smart TV and Amazon Echo-dot will keep you entertained on rainy days, and home chefs will love rustling up tasty meals in the glossy kitchen. Unwind after a busy day with a relaxing soak in the whirlpool bathtub before bed – an excellent way to end the evening.
