Description

Lovingly maintained by just three families this elegant home is set in the heart of Uplands, one of Swansea’s most desirable neighbourhoods. Beautifully combining period charm and contemporary convenience, the house provides exceptional space and versatility ideal for family life, entertaining, and the potential for multi-generational living.

The House
Behind a characterful façade, the interior retains original detailing, including handcrafted parquet flooring and beautifully maintained fireplaces. High ceilings and abundant natural light give each room an airy, inviting quality. Sensitive updating of the windows enhances warmth and energy efficiency.

Upon entering, you’re greeted by a large welcoming hallway leading to spacious, thoughtfully designed living spaces. The lounges and dining area are perfect for hosting family gatherings, dinner parties, or celebrations, with ample room for adult guests and for children to play.
The modernised kitchen blends convenience with elegance, creating an appealing space for keen cooks and relaxed family dining.

Three bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes. The current owner also successfully hosts Airbnb guests in three bedrooms. Carefully upgraded bathrooms enhance everyday practicality while respecting the home’s heritage.
