The Space – Ystwyth (Apartment 1)

The renovated, first floor, self-contained apartment has been totally refurbished specifically for the self-catering holiday market. The renovation work has been completed to an excellent standard whilst maintaining some of the old features you would expect in a character building.

The apartment called Ystwyth, is accessed from Bridge Street via a stair case, of some 16 steps, to the first floor (no lift). Due to the staircase and building front door opening out into the street, its deemed unsuitable for guests with babies and infants and those with poor mobility for health and safety reasons. The front elevation looks down onto Bridge Street which is the main southerly thoroughfare into Aberystwyth.   The rear elevation, from the kitchen, looks over neighbouring rooftops.  The building is located in the town centre and is surrounded by a mix of residential and commercial premises just as you would expect in a busy market town.
