Sketty, Glamorgan
This Edwardian house, two miles from Swansea city centre and next to Singleton Park, stands out because of its charcoal facade. The inside, over three storeys, is unusual, too. There is a big family kitchen and living room on the ground floor, three bedrooms on the first floor, and a kitchen and bedroom on the lowest level, opening out on to the garden. There are two dining areas so if Christmas Day gets a bit much, you can slope off with your turkey into another room. There is even a dining area and outdoor kitchen in the garden. £650,000.
