I had this post planned ages ago. Little did I know that homes with swimming pools would be all in the news by the time it came to publishing. Well, one home in particular!
You’d think that pools in the UK wouldn’t be that much of a popular thing. But with indoor pools and heated pools, it can be a pleasant thing in this climate. I even know of home-owners with cold water plunge pools in their garden; wild swimming in your own back yard!
We’ve picked 3 homes with swimming pools – ranging from half a million to £15 million – so you don’t have to be a millionaire to have one… but it helps!
£500,000 – Clare Road, Ystalyfera, Swansea SA9 2AJ
A desirable feature of the garden is a recently installed endless outdoor swimming pool. The pool features a resistance wave setting, ideal for building up stamina in exercise. The pool also benefits from a weather shelter and is temperature controlled. All the mechanics of the pool are housed safely within the pool summer house and there is a useful outside shower area.
