A Grand Home Of Ceremony And Celebration, Where Naval Officers Once Waltzed And Guests Arrived By Horse Drawn Carriage. Fensala offers you a bygone era lifestyle with a ballroom, billiards room and bold architectural beauty high above Langland Bay.

Built in the 1920 s for a prominent local coal magnate, this iconic residence has seen everything from military soir es to lavish garden parties.

Hidden away, accessed by a private, tree lined driveway from Higher Lane, its elevated south facing position gives you sweeping southerly views right across the Bristol Channel.

Inside, it s all about space, character and stories.

The grand, wood panelled entrance hall sets the tone, leading through to a bay fronted reception room that s currently home to an 8 foot snooker table, which can be converted into a dining table.

There s a second, more intimate family lounge that opens onto a charming screened porch, and a large modern kitchen diner flooded with light from a Velux window.

A separate sitting room, laundry, and two ground floor bathrooms round things off, with plenty of room for hosting, relaxing, or if you like dancing.

And speaking of dancing, the Yellow Room still has its original sprung floor, a reminder of Fensala s time as a WW2 officers club. You can almost hear the band playing In The Mood .

Upstairs, the spacious master bedroom and two others open onto a sea facing balcony.

There are four doubles one currently being used as a sitting room and a full four piece bathroom and separate W.C.

There s clearly no shortage of space but there is also a substantial loft with staircase access from the first floor, just waiting for someone to create two or three more bedrooms STPP with even better sea views.

The grounds are just as impressive.

There s a sun trap south facing terrace, lush tiered gardens with mature trees and a large manicured lawn .

Higher Lane always tops the Best Street In Swansea polls. You re only a short stroll from Rotherslade Bay and the elevated position means you re slightly removed from the tourist crowds that flock to Mumbles.

And they really do flock to Mumbles. Especially since it was voted by The Times as one of The Coolest Postcodes To Move To In 2022 .

Mumbles is also developing a reputation as a foodie s paradise.

The renowned Gower Seafood Hut offering up melt in your mouth, caught that morning calamari is only a 15 minute walk down to the seafront, so you can build up a bit of an appetite en route.

For a more refined dining experience, the highly regarded bistro M r is set back from the promenade.

Mumbles is also a great place to indulge in retail therapy, with a selection of high end boutiques and galleries catering to a discerning clientele.

It s so good that a favourable comparison has been drawn to The Hamptons the posh Long Island beach towns so favoured by upscale New Yorkers.

This really is a rare opportunity to live in one of the most sought after areas in Wales, in one of its most impressive, historic homes.

Fensala is that rare combination a home full of history that s ready for the next chapter.

With space, charm, potential and a setting that s second to none, it s time to make it your own.

We re expecting plenty of interest from discerning families looking to seize this opportunity, so call our Mumbles Office on to arrange a private viewing.
