Fair to say it's no oil painting from the outside, (1970's architecture at it's not-so-finest), but from the inside looking out, the elevated view is absolutely stunning and it comes with a high specification interior to add a touch of luxury to your stay. Up two flights of communal stairs (no lift I'm afraid but the view is always best from the top) and sharing the second floor and a small porch with just one other flat, the door opens into a hallway that leads ahead to the master bedroom. (Our children's room is to the right but remains private and guaranteed to be unoccupied during your visit!)
The master bedroom comes with a king-size bed with a built-in HD TV that rises up and down electronically and has bluetooth speakers also built in. (Please just be considerate with the volume during quiet hours.)
In the hallway there is a recessed cabinet with nautical ornaments that offers a lovely, soft light in the evening.
Round the corner is the modern shower-room which comes with a small basin, a WC and a wide opening shower with an automatic sensor light and a wall of "wave” tiles. There's a hand-swipe sensor light under the mirrored-cabinet and ceiling spot lights. The flooring matches that in the kitchen and resembles pier/boardwalk decking, only softer for bare feet!
The dining room comes with a bespoke, ocean, resin table designed with attention to detail to remind you of the sea while you eat. Better still, views of the real sea are straight through the window and the breakfast/work bar at this window is the ideal place inside to sit and watch the water sports on the Marine Lake. This is our favourite place for dinner or drinks when its just the two of us!
Through the wide arch into the living room is the view-to-beat-all-views out of the full-length French windows that open half way across onto the balcony. This comfortably accommodates dining for two with a bistro table and chairs or one of our two fully-reclining, comfortable sun loungers. This balcony often remains sheltered by the wall to the side when people on the promenade are being blown about - it can be a real sun trap and is mostly secluded in view from the other balconies so you won't be overlooked. On warmer days it's the perfect place for breakfast or dinner and for drinks at night when you can look out across the lights in Wales and listen to the scores of birds that congregate at night.
Back inside the living room there's another HD TV, 2 sofas and a couple of footstools. There's also a spotting scope on a tripod that can be adjusted to allow over 5 miles of viewing across to Wales or for some close-up bird watching on the Marine Lake and sandbanks.
The living room opens onto the kitchen through another arch and is adjoined by a second breakfast bar / work space. The kitchen is modern and fully fitted with everything you'll need during your stay including a dishwasher, microwave, washing machine, tumble dryer, toaster, toastie-maker and a coffee machine with Lavazza coffee, tea and sugar. With a choice of 3 feature lighting options, it's designed with a Santorini blue splash-back and a deeper blue ceiling which contrast the minimalist white units. A section of cupboards are locked up with our belongings - nothing exciting, just things like half-eaten Nutella jars! - but everything else is available to you.
Rather than buying dispensable items for guests, we want you to enjoy this coastal retreat the way we do with added touches like the crockery (Rick Stein Coves of Cornwall range) and blue-fired water glasses.
From the colour scheme throughout the flat - Mediterranean blue & white with splashes of ochre to add a sun/sand-coloured touch of warmth - to details like the canvas and glass photo-art with scenes of beaches, the Mediterranean and water sports, to the bathroom and balcony tiles, everything has been designed to make you feel like you're on holiday from the moment you step through the door and we hope you'll enjoy staying here as much as we do.
Guest access
The main entrances, at the front and back of the building, are shared by 5 other flats, 2 on each floor, but once inside the flat you won't be sharing with anyone. Please note however that one bedroom (a second bedroom belonging to our children) will remain locked as will a small numbers of cupboards around the flat.
You have a choice of private parking either inside our garage or immediately in front of it.
