Step into a home where history whispers from every corner, a truly unique six-bedroom residence nestled on Princess Street, Gorseinon.
This isn't just a house; it's a piece of local heritage, lovingly built in the 1940s by the industrialist Rufus Lewis family for the local vicar, ensuring he was close to St Catherine's Church and Gorseinon Hospital.
Imagine the stories these walls could tell, now ready for your family to add their own chapters.
From the moment you arrive, the generous plot welcomes you, offering an in-and-out driveway with ample space for up to seven cars, a rare find indeed.
The exterior hints at the character within, a promise fulfilled as you cross the threshold.
Inside, you'll be charmed by the abundance of period features that have been thoughtfully preserved.
High ceilings create an immediate sense of grandeur, while the original parquet flooring, quarry tiles, and terrazzo floors add warmth and timeless elegance. Delight in the intricate period tiling adorning some walls and even a charming butler's bell, a delightful nod to a bygone era.
The heart of this home is undoubtedly the large dining area, a wonderful space for gathering loved ones. A feature fireplace provides a cosy focal point, and three windows bathe the room in natural light, offering seamless access to two further reception rooms. These versatile spaces are perfect for quiet contemplation, lively conversations, or perhaps a dedicated play area for the little ones.
The spacious kitchen and breakfast room is a bright and inviting hub, featuring patio doors that open directly onto the rear garden, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living. This culinary haven also provides access to a practical utility room, complete with a ceiling airer, a convenient pantry, a cloakroom, and a log store, ensuring every practical need is met with ease.
Upstairs, the home continues to impress with six generously sized bedrooms, offering ample space for a growing family or for creating dedicated home offices or hobby rooms.
The accommodation is further complemented by a well-appointed shower room and a separate bathroom, featuring a beautiful freestanding roll-top, claw-footed bath, perfect for unwinding after a long day.
For those needing extra storage or perhaps dreaming of a future conversion, a large boarded attic provides fantastic potential.
Outside, the garden is a true labour of love, a meticulously landscaped oasis that has been nurtured with passion. Picture yourself relaxing on the wooden decked terrace, overlooking a vibrant tapestry of mature plants and trees. Children will adore the charming treehouse, sparking endless adventures, while the chicken coop adds a touch of rustic charm and the joy of fresh eggs.
Beyond the beauty, practicality abounds with a garage and a gated storage or work area, ideal for restoration projects or simply keeping things tidy.
This exceptional home is offered with no onward chain, promising an early and smooth completion, allowing you to settle in and start making memories without delay.
This is more than just a home; it's an opportunity to embrace a lifestyle of comfort, character, and community in a truly special setting.
