Channelling the art deco architecture of Penarth Pier Pavilion into its design, this two-bed apartment is located conveniently close to Dingle Road train station (with trains into Cardiff every fifteen minutes). It offers a cool modern flat well within striking distance of some of south Wales' headline attractions. An open-plan communal space is well-lit thanks to plenty of windows, with light wood parquet flooring, a white granite worktop, and mirrors to bounce the light around. The clean lines of the grey kitchen provide an uncluttered space to unleash your inner chef, and the seating area is perfect for stretching out in front of the TV. Both generously proportioned bedrooms have a good amount of storage space, so you can unpack and feel right at home, while the en-suite bathrooms add a touch of luxury. A communal yoga lawn provides a sanctuary of outdoor calm, and the sea is only a few minutes' walk away if you fancy listening to the soothing sound of waves lapping at the shore. It's close enough to Cardiff to see it across the water, yet far enough away to retain plenty of charm – it's easy to see why Penarth frequently tops lists of the best places to live in Wales.
