Detached house for sale on

Sketty Road

Sketty, Swansea, SA2

Tenure: Freehold

A unique opportunity to purchase this substantial, one-of-a-kind, traditionally built detached property in Sketty of approximately 3,750 square feet.  The property is conveniently situated in this fabulous location, close to Singleton with its parks, Sketty with all its amenities and the vibrant Uplands.  The property was originally constructed as a pair of semi-detached houses, designed by renowned Swansea architect Glendinning Moxham.  The current owners originally purchased one of the houses and subsequently the second and then converted the two houses into one house.  As a result, the property offers extremely spacious accommodation with an impressive 6 bedrooms and 5 reception rooms.  The property has many of its original period features and would make an ideal home for a large family or for multi-generational living.  It could also be converted back to a pair of semi-detached houses or purchased with a view to undertaking a commercial venture (subject to the necessary planning consents).  Viewing is essential to appreciate the overall size and potential of this property. The property also benefits from an enviable location, being close the several excellent state and private sector schools, Swansea hospitals and a bus route.
