The Wider Area

Blackpill is a suburban area of SwanseaWales. It is located beside Swansea Bay, about 3 miles (4.8 km) south west of the city centre.

The area offers a great balance between family life, seaside and city living, as well as being a short drive from the woodlands, countryside and beaches that Gower has to offer –  a fact not lost on many hollywood stars who maintain a presence here.  In fact, local Horror film director Andrew Jones and his artist wife Sharron both live and even film in the area.

View from Blackpill to Mumbles
Blackmill Lido

 

Blackpill itself features a seafront building on Mumbles road, a short drive from the property.  The building once served as a station and power station for the Swansea and Mumbles Railway. Today, it houses a cafe called “The Junction”, bordering the popular Blackpill Lido, a family and children’s play area which is popular in summer and the wider Mumbles area is home to individual shops, restaurants, pubs and cafes, as well as boutique art galleries and delicatessens.  People are friendly and welcoming.

Clyne Gardens

There are also a number of parks, including the beautiful Clyne Gardens and Clyne Chapel [1]. The chapel was built in 1907 by Graham Vivian, who owned the nearby Clyne Castle and Estate, as the private chapel for his family. Although Vivian specified that the Chapel should have no stained glass windows to distract from the beauty of its surroundings, there are within it a range of notable artefacts that he collected on his tours to Italy. Clyne Chapel is a Grade II listed building and serves as the Anglican church for the local community.

Oystermouth Castle

Oystermouth Castle in Mumbles is also a few minutes drive, as is Mumbles Pier and RNLI centre, with views that provide a serene contrast to the amusement arcades at the entrance.

Mumbles Pier and RNLI Station

Swansea City Centre is around 10 minutes drive away – with a world-class University, fast transport connections direct to London and good local employment opportunities.

For work/life balance, this area is hard to beat.

The property is on the market with Astleys for offers over £799,950 – although houses in this area tend to sell fast.
