Description

A lovely five-bedroom family home of great character and personality, built in the 1930’s, situated in an idyllic location on the South Gower coast. The whole of the area is designated as an “Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty” and it takes less than five minutes to walk on a quiet footpath to the nature reserve of Mewslade valley. This is completely unspoilt, spectacularly beautiful and has a rich natural population, including rare breeding birds. The secluded beach of Mewslade is a further five minutes’ walk. There are deserted clifftop paths from which seals and dolphins can sometimes be seen nearby. It is a piece of natural paradise. The more well-known, in fact world-renowned, beauty spots Rhossili beach and Worm’s Head are less than a mile from the house and there is an easy clifftop walk to them. This fine property benefits from large windows, which flood the house with light, even in duller days in winter. The climate is mild maritime, with winter frosts very rare and the mild climate has allowed sub-tropical and other tender plants to thrive in the garden, including palm trees and tree ferns. Many of the plants are rare and have now reached maturity, having been planted in the 1980s and 1990s. As it is so mature, the ornamental garden requires very little maintenance. There are also productive vegetable plots and greenhouses. The whole garden is completely private, not overlooked and sheltered from wind by shelter belts of trees, shrubs and bamboos. The house faces due south and has solar panels, installed in 2010, on the roof. These provide substantial free electricity. In addition, because they were installed at a time when the tariffs paid through the government contract were very generous, they provide a tax-free income (“feed-in tariff”) which is uprated annually with inflation. The average annual generation is about 3,400 KWh and the current feed-in tariff is 74.4 pence per KWh. This equates to an annual tax free income in the current year of over £2,500. The vendor has detailed records of the electricity generated.
