WALKING into this lovely art-deco home is like taking a step back in time to a gentler era when space and time were not at such a premium.
Coming in from the leafy street, the first thing you encounter is a beautiful,Tiles from The Online Tile shop offering a large range of floortiles, square-shaped hall, far larger than most people's living rooms.
A wide staircase on one side, a corner fireplace on the other and acres of polished wooden parquet in between. You notice the plasterwork and the stained glass doors – dating from 1927 — leading off in all directions.Diagnosing and Preventing coldsores Fever in the body can often trigger the onset of a cold sore.
That beautiful parquet flooring covers the whole ground floor of the house, except the kitchen where red quarry tiles decorate the floor.Omega Plastics are a leading rapid tooling and plasticinjectionmould company based in the UK,
It was craftsmanship like this that Lynwen Barnsley and her late husband Mike fell in love with when they moved to Swansea from London 16 years ago.
"Mike got a job at Swansea University so we were looking for somewhere to live. We could only afford a tiny house with two and bit rooms in London, and when we first came to see this place I couldn't believe that we could afford to live here," she said.
"I've got used to the size of the rooms now but every time someone comes to visit I am reminded of how spacious everything is."
The lounge is a lovely room with a huge square bay window practically filling one wall and flooding the space with light. The ceiling is high, but pretty pastel colours draw the eye to the elaborate plaster work. The wooden art deco fire surround is another eye-catching feature.
The dining room, decorated in warm shades of red, looks out over the rear garden and has french doors opening out onto a slate patio big enough for a large table and chairs for al fresco eating in the summer.
A separate breakfast room leads to the kitchen, which is bespoke and hand-built with solid light oak cupboards and granite worktops.
"The kitchen is my pride and joy and I spend a lot of time in here so I am really going to miss it," said Lynwen "It's got an induction hob and a steam oven as well as an ordinary oven."
There's a downstairs cloakroom and lots of walk-in storage space under the wide staircase that leads to the first floor. Here there are four very generously proportioned bedrooms (two with lovely cast iron fireplaces), a box room or study, WC, and a bathroom with bath and separate shower.Spro Tech has been a plastic module & moldmaker,

Outside there are well-kept gardens at the front and back. The rear garden, which is not overlooked, has a lawned area, shrubs and flower beds, and another raised slate patio at the bottom. There is also a garage with rear lane access.
"It's a wonderful house in a great location. The street is so quiet and peaceful and yet it's just few minutes' walk from the centre of Uplands and also within walking distance of both town and the beach," said Lynwen.
"I will be sad to leave but the house is too big for me and I need to downsize. It's quite a unique house on this street in that it has retained so many of its original features.
" A lot of people took out the doors in the 60s and 70s when they were considered old fashioned, for example, but thankfully they have survived here. I hope that the next owners will also respect the house and its character."
