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 soirées 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. **
**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. **
**Mumbles is also developing a reputation as a foodie’s paradise. **
**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. **
**Fensala is that rare combination: a home full of history that’s ready for the next chapter. **
