The Property

6 The Paddock is a wonderfully individual detached dormer bungalow tucked away in a quiet, leafy cul-de-sac in sought-after West Cross—just moments from the sea front and a gentle stroll from the heart of Mumbles village. This well-loved family home offers incredibly flexible living, with 4/5 bedrooms and three generous reception rooms, plus an excellent self-contained annexe. The house is set within beautifully cultivated gardens that wrap around three sides, enjoying a sunny, southerly aspect.

The main residence has been thoughtfully maintained over the years, with significant upgrades including a new roof and loft insulation in 2023 and replacement windows to the main house in 2022. In addition, solar panels offer energy efficiency and lower ongoing costs. The annexe—converted around a decade ago—adds valuable extra space for guests, multigenerational living, or even a home office/studio.

Inside, the layout is adaptable and welcoming. With a choice of generous reception rooms, including a large living room, dining room, and a bright garden room, there is scope to configure the home to suit a range of lifestyle needs. The bedrooms are well-proportioned and quietly situated, with plenty of natural light throughout the property.

Outside, the beautifully stocked gardens are a key feature—clearly the work of a passionate gardener. A combination of mature planting, colourful borders, a thriving vegetable plot, and multiple sun-trap seating areas create a peaceful and vibrant outdoor space. The greenhouse and summerhouse are perfect for year-round enjoyment and productivity, while the plot’s privacy and orientation make it feel like a hidden oasis.
