A home the hills Of LA would be proud of!
IF you think of a dream home nestled into a rural spot somewhere on or near Gower you probably think of a cute country cottage or historic period property.
But this amazing house brings something very special to the property party on this popular peninsula.
It’s a high-end, luxury pad that is highly contemporary.
A white, wood and stone clad box with multiple floor-to-ceiling glass doors onto integrated balconies on the first floor and onto a sun terrace on the ground floor, this house is a unique find with a design that makes the most of the mesmerising views of rolling hills and the Lougher estuary stretching out from the end of the garden.
White box dream homes are a common occurrence in the Hollywood Hills. These L.A. houses cost many millions of dollars but this stunner near Swansea has a much smaller asking price, offers over £525,000.
Located in Three Crosses, inside and out, the house is definitely a hot property.
From the front, the majority of the home’s facade is Western Red Cedar wood cladding that brings a warm visual welcome and is complemented by the whitewash and exposed stone.
This engaging facade sets the standard of the expected interior design.
Step inside and the clean lines and high-end materials continue with wood flooring that continues seamlessly into the lounge and to the very rear of the house.
The staircase is a modern wood and glass addition that fits neatly into its two-storey height space and does not encroach into the hall, making this entrance feel light, bright and spacious.
According to the estate agent, this property is an environmentally-friendly household to run, thanks
to the hot water and heating being produced by an air source heat pump and solar thermal systems.
And the house has an integrated Sonos sound system and underfloor heating too.
Across the width of the rear of the home is a substantial kitchen diner and lounge, with both areas flowing into each other, as well as flowing out into the garden via their own set of bi-fold doors.
The house could have been designed as a simple box shape, but it is more visually unique than that, with two ‘wings’ of the house set at different locations, so the kitchen diner protrudes into the garden and the lounge wing is set further back.
The wood cladding and exposed stone from the front facade continue around to the back, ensuring the house feels totally connected with its design and choice of natural materials throughout.
The sociable and wellequipped kitchen offers a range of Neff appliances, some integrated and some on show, including a warming drawer and an instant hot water tap.
Nothing can beat those views from the garden, and from upstairs the rear two bedrooms can boast uninterrupted and elevated access to the special vista.
Both have balconies that each have a roof as part of the building’s structure.
The master bedroom demands the biggest of the balconies, and it can also boast a large bank of wardrobes plus a master ensuite bathroom too.
The second bedroom has a balcony accessed by sliding doors and an ensuite shower room and bedroom three at the front of the property has an ensuite shower room too.
In total, the house has four bedrooms and although the fourth bedroom does not have an ensuite, it does have a large walk-in wardrobe.
An extra lounge at the front of the house is currently used as a playroom.
The home has so many examples of how thoughtful design has ensured this house has continual snippets of space and features that will surely surprise and delight you.
And there’s no doubt that wandering into the rear garden will impress you.
The end of the garden seems to be endless, morphing into the incredible rural view that disappears into the distant hills and waters of the estuary. Beat that L.A.
