Singleton Park's Swiss Cottage

If 2 Somerset Place is my favourite building, then the Swiss Cottage in Singleton Park has to a close runner up. Designed by architect Peter Frederick Robinson, who also designed Sketty Hall, the building is Grade II listed was built in 1826 and is a real feast on the eyes.

Half ruined in a fire in 2010, its major refurbishment really has to be commended and today it looks better than I have ever seen it.

‘Lebe so dass du wieder leben magst’ - translates as
Live that you may live again

Currently owned by Swansea Council, due to financial restraints inflicted by the evil Tories, the building is up up for either Let or Sale. Hopefully, its new owner, whoever eventually takes it on, will re-open the small coffee shop that used to operate from the house...
