This Victorian mid-terrace offers a straightforward, well-laid-out two-bedroom home in St Thomas, close to Swansea city centre and Bay Campus. The ground floor provides two reception rooms and a practical kitchen; upstairs are two double bedrooms and a generous family bathroom. The small front courtyard and rear decked garden with mature shrubs give private outdoor space without heavy maintenance.
The property is freehold, with mains gas central heating, double glazing and fitted storage — sensible basics for first-time buyers or landlords seeking rental demand near the university and good transport links (easy access to the M4). Room sizes are modest but the 861 sq ft footprint is used efficiently, making it a comfortable home or a lettable investment.
Notable considerations: the terrace is of early-20th-century stone construction and walls are likely uninsulated, so buyers should budget for potential improvement works (wall insulation, modernisation) if desired. The plot is small and outdoor space is limited; the property sits in a very deprived local area statistically, which may affect long-term resale values and tenant profiles. Council tax is low, and local crime levels are reported as very low.
Overall, this is a practical, well-located terraced house that will suit first-time buyers seeking an affordable starter home or investors targeting steady rental demand near Swansea University. Buyers looking for ready-made, high-spec accommodation should expect to carry out some updating and energy-efficiency improvements.
