Description

This two-bedroom semi-detached house situated in the Blaen-Y-Maes area of Swansea presents a noteworthy opportunity for investors and buyers looking to add value through refurbishment. The property features essential amenities including double glazing and gas central heating (currently untested). A notable advantage is the off-road parking along with front and rear gardens, enhancing its appeal for potential tenants or buyers. Conveniently located, the home is just a short walk from local facilities and provides easy access to the Fforestfach Retail Park, as well as major routes leading into Swansea City Centre and beyond via the M4 at Junction 47. The layout includes a porch, entrance hall, kitchen, reception room, and sun room on the ground floor, while the first floor comprises two bedrooms and a bathroom. Given its condition, this property requires significant refurbishment work, making it an ideal project for those seeking a buy-to-let investment or to create a comfortable family home. Viewing is available through Auction House Wales.
