About 15 Sebastopol Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 Sebastopol Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in St. Thomas, Swansea, Swansea (SA1 8BN). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B.
