Listing Description
Ref:- 1223 Home to a family of 4 adults looking to house swap in school holidays.
This detached cottage is situated in a quiet area in the suburbs of Swansea with easy access to the town centre and the nearby Gower peninsula, and has views over Mumbles. It is well located for exploring south & south-west Wales which takes in many interesting towns & villages, tourist attractions & diverse landscapes, & coast.
The house was formerly an 1830s worker's cottage which has been extended. There is a small garden at the front of the house with flower beds. At the rear the garden slopes upwards and features a small grassed area with football goals, a patio area, basketball hoop, a tree swing and a small pond. It's a lovely garden, but is best suited for older children. There is no off road parking but street parking is easy & safe. They are within 5 minutes walk of a Co-op and several eating places.
Townhill Baptist Church has morning & evening congregations of 20-40 people with a good mix of contemporary & traditional styles of worship.

Established in 2003, 'Christian House and Church Swap’ (CHACS) is a UK based house-swap holiday organisation.
There are registered members throughout the UK, Europe and further afield. House-swapping works well for everyone; single people, married couples, friends and families. Instead of paying a substantial amount of money for holiday accommodation, and then leaving your house empty, you can simply swap homes with other Christians!
It's a different and exciting way to holiday!
COST.... There is no charge for registration or membership. Only if/when a house-swap takes place do we ask you to pay an administration fee of £50. For second and subsequent swaps in the same year, the admin fee is £25.
Registration forms available on chacs website.
USING YOUR HOME....Your house, however humble or grand, will provide a great holiday base for someone else.Your locality, so familiar to you, has lots to offer to someone new to the area.
SECURITY...There is a rise in house burglary when occupants are away from home. By house swapping you have automatic Christian house sitters! When people register with us, we contact their church leader. This is for everyone’s peace of mind.
LOCAL COMMUNITY... Another great feature is that you will holiday in a local community. A local person, friend or neighbour, will have agreed to give you the key, check that you are okay and to deal with any queries. That person will also be able to give you up-to-date information about nearby amenities, local events, places to visit, best pubs, good restaurants and so on.
PETS AND PLANTS… House swappers are usually happy to water the garden and indoor plants, and feed the cat and goldfish! Mutual dog owners are generally happy for the dogs to be included in the swap.
IT’S YOUR CHOICE!...You get to choose from the descriptions of over 200 properties, mostly in the UK, but abroad too, all found in the online brochure. You pay the administration fee only when your house swap is confirmed. And you might want to swap once or several times a year, or only once every 2 or 3 years. There is never any pressure on you to make a specific choice. The choice is yours!
