The stats 5 The Ice House, SA1, Swansea Rent Pounds 625 pcm Number of bedrooms 1 THIS unique apartment offers the chance to live in a historic building that forms part of Swansea’s rich industrial heritage.
The Ice House, a landmark in Swansea’s SA1 development with its distinctive chimney stack, was once a busy part of Swansea docks.
Built around 1880 to produce ice and provide cold storage for shipping, it has now been converted into five luxury apartments above an art gallery and a Thai restaurant.
The grade two listed building is on the east bank of the River Tawe between Technium and the new Sail Bridge. Number 5, which is to be let unfurnished, is on the second floor of the building.
It offers unusually roomy accommodation for a onebedroom flat. The lounge has an entire wall of windows which fold back completely to reveal an internal balcony with a large porthole which gives views of the Marina.
At the other end of the lounge is the kitchen dining area which is fitted with high quality Smeg integrated appliances, white units and butcher’s block worktops. There is a dark cherry solid wooden floor throughout.
The bedroom is a good size and the bathroom has high quality fittings and tiles with a mirrored wall and over-bath shower.
The apartment comes with a parking permit which is valid in any of the Excel car parks in SA1.
