This three-bedroom detached bungalow on Chestnut Avenue is a rare single-storey opportunity close to the amenities and coastline of Mumbles. Offered chain-free on a decent 0.08-acre plot, the layout includes a large lounge, generous kitchen, three bedrooms and a garage with driveway parking for two to three vehicles — a practical package for buyers wanting convenient, ground-floor living.
The property requires renovation throughout, giving a buyer scope to modernise and add value; room sizes are generous for a bungalow, notably the large kitchen and lounge. Oil central heating is installed, and mains services plus ultrafast broadband are available. Council Tax band E should be noted when budgeting for ongoing costs.
For downsizers or purchasers seeking a seaside base, the plot and private gardens provide outdoor space and privacy. While the area is classified as very deprived overall, the immediate neighbourhood is comfortable and positioned near coastal green space and local facilities — an attractive location if you prioritise proximity to Mumbles and single-level living.
Practical considerations: the bungalow sits on a mid‑20th-century build with standard ceiling heights and will need updating, so expect refurbishment work rather than a move‑in‑ready finish. The property presents good potential for a sympathetic modernisation to suit a retiring couple, family wanting ground-floor accommodation, or an investor prepared to refurbish.
