Mountain views and a twenty-minute walk to the sea

The beach and beach clubs are a twenty-minute walk from the front door, with local dining and golf courses close by. This resale 2 bedroom middle floor apartment with garden in Selwo sits on the New Golden Mile and looks inland toward the mountains rather than into a neighbouring block.

87 square metres built and an open-plan kitchen

The built area comes to 87 square metres across two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Having a second bathroom means guests do not need to walk through a bedroom to shower, which makes a difference when two couples stay at once. Instead of a separate kitchen behind a door, the open-plan kitchen connects directly to the main living room and brings in ample counter space and modern appliances. Cooking happens in the same room as conversation, though a buyer viewing the flat should check the extractor fan and how cooking smells travel. Both bedrooms face the mountain vistas.

The 18 square metre terrace and what the community includes

Outside the main room sits an 18 square metre private terrace with mountain views. That footprint is large enough for a dining table for four and two loungers without having to shift furniture around to get past. Downstairs, the complex provides a communal swimming pool, an on-site gym, and landscaped communal gardens. A shared garden and pool mean outdoor space to read or swim without paying a private gardener or pool maintenance company, as the community handles the upkeep. Having a gym inside the complex also saves a drive into town for basic exercise. Parking is included with the apartment, taking away the trouble of finding a street space during August.

Checks to make on a Selwo viewing

When viewing this 2 bedroom middle floor apartment with garden in Selwo, walk the route to the beach yourself to see the gradient coming back up the hill. Check which direction the balcony faces to see if those mountain views bring morning or afternoon sun, as an east-facing terrace works well for breakfast while a west-facing one stays hot until late evening. Finally, look at the gym equipment.
