This seems a tad expensive for a poky 2 bed shed, albeit in the Gower. I wasn't aware that Swansea had its own eco-Jaywick, so this is a surprise!
Not too much eco-babble, though. It seems to boil down to a few solar panels which even the council's old folks' bungalows have in my village.
Oh, and there's a wood burner......sorry, I'll read that again....was a wood burner, although the flue looks like it won't meet regs.
Paying close attention to the 'unique finish' I noted a bit of damp and evidence of the 'ongoing development project,' otherwise known as "can't be @rsed to finish it."
Pennard is a very pleasant location; I've rented a holiday house there, but I didn't see anything like this, which looks like it's not alone on the aerial and Street View.0 -
EA says, "This property can only be described with one word.....WOW!"

Yes and no
Our (Victorian detached) house has similar fenestration. We have only three very tiny windows (and one door!) on the elevation that fronts our lane - they are all landing/cloakroom windows. The garden elevation more than compensates however as it has seventeen windows (including two large bays) and a further seven doors, lol! :rotfl:
Not sure why the linked house was built like that - ours is a result of being built into a escarpmentMortgage-free for fourteen years!

Add that I can see a standard size garden - but I can't see a "plot" (ie large area for foodgrowing - and as an extra to a "garden" as such). When someone says "ecohouse" I'm expecting to see a very quirky place made of strawbales, etc - not just a few solar panels on the roof (so far - so pretty standard).
As for the price - I thought Swansea isn't supposed to be that great a part of Wales?0 -

The lack of windows, the strange wood panelling in the kitchen, the strip lighting, the grimy bathroom, the sheet that's trying as hard as it can to escape from the sad mattress...

Not sure I remember everyone having hideous peach bathrooms in the 90s but what the hey.
I just love that 1930s Frinton on Sea house!“And all shall be well. And all shall be well. And all manner of things shall be exceeding well.”
