The property is a 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom detached house located on Carmarthen Road in Fforestfach, Swansea. The list price is £210,000. The property benefits from a good-sized garden, which includes a shed and a paved patio area. There is also a gravel driveway. The house itself appears to be in need of some modernisation, although it retains some period features. The kitchen has recently been updated with modern units and appliances. The bathrooms and bedrooms show signs of age and would benefit from updating. The location is convenient, with several primary schools within a reasonable distance. Swansea city centre is also relatively close, offering access to a wider range of amenities and transport links. Train stations are within 5km. Considering the average price per square foot in the area is £289, and this property is 1,140.33 sqft, one might expect a price closer to £330,000. However, the property’s condition and the need for modernisation justify the lower list price of £210,000. While the average house price in the area is higher at £320,294, this property is smaller and requires some updating, making the list price seem more reasonable in comparison to similar properties in the area that require less work.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
