Set over three generous floors, this Victorian mid-terrace offers scope and character for buyers who want to add value. The top-floor converted attic provides a large fourth bedroom with a dormer window and wide-reaching views over Swansea Bay, while bay windows and high ceilings retain original period charm. Gas central heating and existing double glazing provide basic services, although many internal finishes need modernisation.
The house is arranged with a bay-fronted living room, separate dining room, breakfast room and a kitchen on the ground floor, three bedrooms and a shower room on the first floor, and the spacious attic bedroom above. The rear garden is tiered with patio and lawn and has lane access. Its elevated position gives sea and city vistas from the upper levels.
This property is offered by the Modern Method of Auction. Buyers should be aware of the 56-day completion expectation and a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) payable on exchange. If you need a mortgage or conveyancing, allow time to confirm terms before bidding.
Practical points: the house needs renovation and updating throughout — an opportunity for refurbishment or conversion to rental units. The neighbourhood is a cosmopolitan mix of students and professionals near the city centre and universities; local crime levels are above average and the wider area scores high for deprivation. These factors will affect lettings, resale and security costs, but the central location, room sizes and bay/sea views underpin notable upside for the right buyer.
