Set on a large private plot opposite Murton Green, this architect-designed four-bedroom detached home offers classic mid‑century character and excellent family practicality. The principal rooms open onto a mature, level rear garden ideal for children and outdoor entertaining, while a double garage and extensive driveway provide generous parking for cars, camper vans or boats. Its location affords easy access to Swansea, Mumbles and the Gower, with Bishopston Comprehensive and local amenities within a short walk.
The house retains many original 1970s design features — exposed beams, knotty pine ceilings, open-tread staircase and handmade brick fireplaces — giving strong potential for a sensitive remodel to create contemporary family living. Practical features include gas central heating, uPVC double glazing, solar panels and a useful utility room; the studio/conservatory off the principal bedroom enhances flexibility for a home office or play space.
Buyers should note the property was built in 1976 and some areas require updating and modernization to meet current finishes and systems expectations. Council Tax is band H (very expensive) and the listing advises purchasers to verify electrical, plumbing and heating installations independently. The immediate area is described as affluent communities, yet wider area statistics record high deprivation indicators — consider local context when assessing long-term investment or resale plans.
Freehold, no flood risk, very low crime and fast broadband combine to make this a desirable family purchase in a well-regarded West Swansea location, especially for those seeking scope to refurbish and add value.
