Located in a well regarded and desirable area of Skewen is this five bedroom semi detached family home. Previously a traditional three bedroom property with bay window to front, the property was significantly extended back in the mid 1960’s to provide extra accommodation for a growing family. The property has been lovingly maintained by the current vendors but is in need of decorative updating.

The property is entered via a PVCu and glazed panel door into a large and inviting hallway, with open tread staircase rising to the first floor accommodation and doorways leading to both reception rooms and the kitchen.

The sitting / dining room is located to the front of the property and is a well proportioned room featuring the original bay window to front providing light and views of the front garden. There is a feature electric fireplace within the room and a gas outlet if the new owners wished to install a gas fire.

The lounge is located to the rear of the property featuring another bay window to the rear that floods the room with natural light and provides views of the garden. The focal point of the room is the original tiled fireplace with alcove shelf display are and cupboard storage.Sliding fully obscure glazed doors lead into the gallery kitchen with a window to the rear providing light and views of the garden.

The kitchen has been fitted with a matching range of base and wall mounted units with a matching laminated worksurface over. Within the kitchen there is space for a free standing cook, a stainless steel double drainage sink unit below the window and a floor standing gas boiler. To the rear of the room there are doorways leading to the garden and another leading into the extension on the ground floor.Within the extension of the ground floor, an inner hallway gives access to a useful shower room, cloakroom / WC and an impressive concrete storage area.

The shower room provides an ideal space for conversion into a full wet room and currently houses are large shower cubicle with sliding glazed shower screen and an electric shower fitted. Within this area is a drain outlet and tap. A doorway off the shower room gives access internally to the integral garage.The garage space benefits from power sockets, lighting and an electric powered garage door.

The separate cloakroom has been fitted with a white two piece suite comprising; low level WC and a wall mounted wash hand basin.

To the rear is an impressive sized workshop accessed off the inner hallway. It offers solid concrete panelled walls and windows to two elevations. It would make an ideal third reception room and / or orangery room with some work and a new roof fitted.To the first floor within the original part of the house, the landing gives access to three bedrooms and the family bathroom.

Bedrooms one and two are good sized double bedrooms with bedroom one benefitting from floor to ceiling built in wardrobes to one wall and a window to the rear providing far ranging views. Bedroom three is a well proportioned single bedroom located to the front of the property.

Outside to the front of the property, a set of half height wrought iron painted gates gives access to the driveway ahead of the integral garage door. To the side of the driveway is a good sized garden laid mainly to lawn, bordered by mature plants and shrubs.

To the rear of the property is a deceptively spacious rear garden currently split into three sections. The first is a raised concrete platform area accessed from the kitchen with balustrades and steps leading down to the second area of the garden.
