Bethany Lane, West Cross, Swansea SA3

A rare and versatile proposition, 8 Bethany Lane occupies a generous and secluded plot of 0.64 acres, with broad appeal for families, developers or those seeking a private setting near the coast.

The Property

8 Bethany Lane is a substantial and individual four-bedroom semi-detached home, extending to 3,122sqft, set within a truly generous 0.64-acre plot — a remarkable offering in this highly sought-after location on the edge of Mumbles Village.

Approached via a quiet lane, the property enjoys an elevated and private position, with broad south-facing gardens that create a sense of peace and seclusion rarely found so close to the coast. The house itself is full of character and individuality, offering exceptionally spacious and flexible living accommodation. Almost every principal room benefits from an open outlook over the gardens, while the scale of the interiors suggests both a comfortable family home and significant scope for further refinement or transformation.

In addition to the main house, the garden hosts a detached garage/workshop extending to 905sqft. Although it requires modernisation, this versatile building offers excellent potential for a variety of uses — whether ancillary accommodation (subject to consent), a home studio, or further development.

Altogether, the total built footprint is an impressive 4,027sqft.

For those with a broader vision, the plot is 0.64 acres approximately - the scale of the plot opens the door to more ambitious redevelopment. Subject to the necessary planning permissions, this could include the creation of a large individual home or a discreet high-end residential scheme. In an area where land is scarce, the opportunities here are considerable.
