Situated in the fabulous coastal setting of Caswell, just moments from the golden sands of Caswell Bay, this substantial detached home offers generous family accommodation and exceptional potential for modernisation, creating a wonderful opportunity to craft a superb coastal residence.

The Property

35 Long Shepherds Drive is a substantial detached family home constructed in the 1970s, designed with large windows and well-balanced proportions that allow natural light to flow easily throughout the interior. The property has been extended over time and now provides generous accommodation extending to approximately 2,257sqft, offering tremendous versatility for modern family living.

A welcoming entrance porch leads into a particularly spacious entrance hall, setting the tone for the scale of accommodation found throughout the property. The ground floor provides a variety of reception spaces, allowing flexibility for both formal and informal living.

The principal living room is a beautifully proportioned space measuring over 24ft in length, with large windows overlooking the garden and offering an ideal setting for family gatherings or entertaining. Adjacent to this is a comfortable snug, providing a more intimate sitting area or potential home office.

To the other side of the property, a particularly impressive family room measuring almost 20ft x 16ft forms the heart of the home and enjoys a wonderful sense of light and space. Both living spaces connect conveniently with the kitchen, which offers generous proportions and excellent scope for redesign into a contemporary kitchen-family hub if desired.

A separate dining room sits just off the kitchen, ideal for more formal occasions, while practical day-to-day living is well catered for with a utility room that provides internal access to the integral garage. A ground floor WC completes the accommodation on this level.

Upstairs, the property continues to offer impressive proportions. There are four well-sized double bedrooms, all enjoying good natural light. The principal bedroom suite is particularly generous, benefiting from a dressing room and ensuite bathroom, creating a private and comfortable retreat.

The remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, while a central landing provides additional storage via an airing cupboard.

Externally, the property is set within attractive wrap-around gardens that have been carefully maintained and provide a pleasant outdoor setting with lawned areas and mature planting. The gardens are of a manageable size while still offering space for outdoor seating, family use and gardening.

Although clearly well loved and maintained over the years, the property now offers an exciting opportunity for the next owners to update and modernise the interior to their own tastes, potentially creating a superb contemporary home in one of the most desirable coastal neighbourhoods in the Swansea area.

The property is offered to the market with no onward chain, making it an especially appealing opportunity for buyers seeking space, location and future potential.
