A compact two-bedroom maisonette in central Swansea, offering simple city-centre living or a ready-made rental once current tenancy ends. The living room opens onto a private balcony, giving valuable outdoor space for a property of this size. The separate kitchen provides good storage for everyday use, and the layout includes one double bedroom and a smaller second bedroom suitable as a study or guest room.
The property is leasehold with 88 years remaining, a low service charge (£200pcm) and a minimal ground rent (£10), keeping running costs modest. It is tenanted until December 2025, which makes it an immediate investment opportunity for a buyer who wants rental income, or a purchase for owner-occupation with vacant possession after tenancy expiry.
Built c.1967–75, the maisonette shows signs of age and would benefit from cosmetic updating and targeted repairs. The building exterior and neighbouring townhouses appear in poor condition, and internal fixtures are dated. Buyers should budget for refurbishment to modernise finishes and consider a professional inspection to confirm condition and services.
Location is the main draw: close to shops, public transport and city amenities, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. The wider area has socioeconomic challenges and above-average crime rates; buyers should weigh local market conditions and rental demand when assessing long-term value.
