Enjoying an elevated location in Ogmore-by-Sea, this quirky holiday home has been thoughtfully restored by its artist owner with an emphasis on beauty, restfulness, and an emotional connection to space. Natural inspiration is all around. Just a short stroll downhill, the beach boasts expansive golden sands and fertile rock pools – a perfect setting for leisurely strolls, picnics and outdoor fun. Follow the Wales Coast Path as it runs upriver from the sea to the ruins of Ogmore Castle; the path connects to the other side of the river via iconic stepping stones that are passable only at low tide. Nearby, the Merthyr Mawr Warren National Nature Reserve (5.5 miles) is home to Europe’s highest single sand dune, known locally as the 'big dipper'. Head further west and Swansea (25 miles) is en route to Mumbles (30 miles), gateway to the gorgeous Gower Peninsula.
A series of distinct spaces, each with its own mood and character, this holiday home promises to be memorable; its natural materials, carefully chosen colours and collections of curios creating a sense of warmth and vitality throughout. Step inside this spectacular home to find the family bathroom to your right, which resembles an undersea treasure trove. Continue on, and to your left, the kitchen/diner is a bright space with views stretching across the sea, making all meal times a real treat. A sumptuous red velvet couch and open fire steal the scene in the sitting room, so even on a cloudy day the space creates a lovely environment to spend time with friends and loved ones. The conservatory creates an enticing space to sip your morning coffee and watch the world go by or a enjoy a glass of wine watching the sun set over the sea. When it’s time for bed or you wish to retreat for some quite time, two bedrooms here offer ultimate versatility – one is a twin zip-and-link bed, which can be zipped together to create a huge super-king-size bed for a perfect night's slumber. The 'Tree house bedroom', with a small double bed, features a raw timber mezzanine with a beautiful driftwood banister accessed via a paddle staircase, whilst the ground floor provides an additional single bed. Further flexibility comes courtesy of the skyloft, a self-contained studio apartment with a double bed, bathroom, kitchenette and lounge area. Carefully sourced objects, layered lighting, natural materials, and soft colours give this space a sense of expansiveness that echoes its far-reaching views across the sea.
For a breath of salty sea air, step into the front garden. To get closer to the shoreline, simply head along the pavement and after around 150 metres, you’ll see a path that leads down to where the River Ogmore meets the sea. Permit parking for one car is available, with additional on-street parking nearby.
