A compact infill parcel of approximately 0.22 acres (c. 890 sqm / 9,583 sq ft) in Cwmdu, Swansea, offered freehold and sold by public auction. The rectangular site sits immediately off the A486 (Carmarthen Road), close to retail parks and roughly 1.5 miles from Swansea city centre and 3.5 miles from the M4 (J47). It currently reads as heavily overgrown and will require clearance before any development work.
The land presents a straightforward redevelopment opportunity for a small residential scheme or mixed-use infill, subject to obtaining planning consent and carrying out site investigations. Services and vehicular access are limited or not visible from aerial records, so buyers should budget for connection works and potential access improvements. The plot is bounded by terrace housing and commercial/industrial buildings, so any scheme will need to respond to immediate neighbouring uses.
This is a clear-risk, value-driven purchase: the low guide price reflects the plot size, location and condition, making it suitable for speculative developers, small builders or investors prepared to manage planning, clearance and remedial works. Note the local context — the area is classified as very deprived with higher-than-average crime levels — which will influence lettability, marketing and resale values.
Sale is by public auction on Wednesday 29 October 2025 at 3:00pm; the stated guide price is £25,000. Buyers should undertake their own due diligence, including searches, ground investigations and pre-application planning advice, before bidding.
