Recession fight aided by Swansea Bay media savvy

With official calculations suggesting that the UK's Recession is over (http://bit.ly/7VwS1m) perhaps Swansea Bay business can look forward to brighter times.
And, if the South Wales Evening Post homes supplement is anything to go by, this hint of optimism may be well founded.
After its traditional festive season lull, Find a Property has bounced back. Today it weighs in at a chunky 60 pages.
The usual suspects are there - Parker Baker, Elan, John Francis, Oakleaf, Barratt, Redrow, Ashley Jones, Peter Alan, Astleys, Rees Richards, Clee, Dawsons, Darlows, Simpsons - and there's the usual range of properties. The cover features a £415k sea-view place in Sketty, inside you'll find more affordable gaffs such as a £40k auction lot in Cefneithin. It's in need of a little toil.
Congratulations go to the Evening Post's property writer Kay Byrne for she has unearthed a beauty in Gower. Parkmill's 150-year-old Green Cwm Cottage has an asking price of over £500k at Astleys; it has bags of land, a woodland setting and the bluest of covered swimming pools.
Kay, a northcountrywoman of great journalistic repute, describes the place as a "gingerbread-style" cottage. Tasty.
