IMPRESSIVE 7 BEDROOM PERIOD RESIDENCE overlooking St. James Gardens leafy park. With Grade II listed frontage and incredible original features, blended seamlessly with modern fixtures & upgrades, this house is breathtaking and ready for its new chapter. Set in St. James Gardens, arguably one of the prettiest residential streets in Swansea, this gorgeous home was recently used by ITV to FILM a true crime drama, Delia Balmer, based on the writer's own memoir, for broadcast later this year. Chosen because of the vintage beauty of the house & surrounding area and its likeness to London, we have to agree that the kerb appeal is superb!
The home features TWO RECEPTION ROOMS on the ground floor, along with a large KITCHEN/DINING ROOM, WC, utility area and door to the basement. A total of seven bedrooms and TWO BATHROOMS are located on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors. The original curved balustrade spirals upwards to the top of this beautiful home and the ceiling heights, picture rails, original doors, panelling, coving & deep skirtings are just a few of the stunning original details that make this home so special. There's even a basement, with potential for further development, subject to your requirements.
Gardens to the front and rear are immaculately maintained, with a leafy, private haven to the rear flanked by colourful borders & welsh stone walls. The detached GARAGE features an electric door and has lane access. The location is second to none, the outskirts of the thriving & diverse neighbourhood of Uplands, opposite St. James Gardens. Call to view this one of a kind home now!
