Summary - 6 ELGIN STREET MANSELTON SWANSEA SA5 8QF
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Characterful three-storey home with garden and attic potential.
Freehold Victorian mid-terrace with 927 sq ft living space
This Victorian mid-terrace offers versatile accommodation across three floors with 927 sq ft of living space, making it well suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The layout includes an open-plan lounge/diner, kitchen with utility, two double bedrooms and a useful attic room with Velux windows. Outside there’s a small front courtyard and an enclosed rear garden with decking and artificial lawn. Superfast FTTP broadband is available (up to 1Gb) and the property is freehold with mains gas central heating.
The house retains period character such as a stone bay façade, high hallway ceiling and original chimney pots, but the interior is dated and will suit someone prepared to modernise. The EPC is band E and the external walls are likely uninsulated, so improving insulation and updating heating or windows could both increase comfort and value. There are signs the property has typical Victorian terraced issues (small rooms and potential localized damp) so budgeting for remedial works is sensible.
Location is practical: Manselton offers local shops, schools, parks and regular bus links into Swansea city centre, plus easy access to the M4. The neighbourhood has low recorded crime and good transport links, though the wider area scores as relatively deprived — a factor for some buyers and for estimating rental yields. Council tax is above average, which should be allowed for in running costs.
In short, this is a characterful terraced house with clear upside for anyone ready to invest time and budget into modernisation. It’s an affordable route into the area for a first purchase or a refurbishment-led rental investment, but buyers should factor in energy improvements, cosmetic updating and possible damp remediation.
