Description

With no upward chain and set in a prime location at the head of a quiet cul-de-sac, we offer for sale this three bedroom detached home. Having being a well loved and maintained property by the family for over 56 yrs. Coming to the market for the first time since it was built in 1965 is testament to what we believe to be an ideal family home in a popular location.
Originally built as a four bedroom home and altered by the family to create a three double bedroom property. With modern fitted kitchen and a shower room on both the ground and first floors, plus lounge with patio doors to the garden and separate dining room.
Externally to the side and rear is the mature landscaped garden which is in our opinion a particularly beautiful feature. To the front is a driveway providing parking for three to four vehicles leading to the garage.
Garden Village is a popular location on the outskirts of Gorseinon Town with all its mix of local and national retailers, M4 access is via Jct 47 Penllergaer making travel to Carmarthen, Swansea and Cardiff accessible.
