Set over three storeys, this substantial five-bedroom semi-detached Edwardian home blends original character with a contemporary rear extension. High ceilings, bay windows and original fireplaces give generous principal rooms a period warmth, while the extended family room and kitchen with Aga create a practical centre for daily life and entertaining. The top-floor bedroom enjoys panoramic sea views towards Mumbles pier.
Externally the property sits on a large, well-established plot with mature planting, private paved entertaining areas, off-road parking and a substantial brick garage. Its location on a tree-lined road in Sketty places Singleton Park, Singleton Hospital, Swansea University and good schools within easy reach—appealing for growing families and those needing local amenities.
Important practical points: the house is freehold and double glazed, heated by a mains gas boiler and radiators, but the cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation which may affect running costs. There are two main bathrooms plus a separate WC across five bedrooms, and the property sits in an area noted as having very deprived indices despite being in an otherwise low-crime, well-connected neighbourhood. Council tax is in a high band (G), so ownership costs are material.
This is a family-sized period home with strong space, character and garden privacy—best suited to buyers seeking a roomy, characterful house in a popular Sketty setting who accept some improvement and running-cost considerations.
