This magnificent detached five/six bedroom Edwardian home, dating from 1905, is set back from Gower Road along a beautiful, newly resurfaced tree-lined driveway, occupying a generous plot of approximately two thirds of an acre. Fully remodelled in 2020 with a comprehensive ‘back to brick' renovation by a highly regarded local builder, the property has been re-wired, re-plumbed and Cat 5 cabled, with new Edwardian-style uPVC windows and interiors finished throughout in a Farrow & Ball palette. Impressive brick pillars and electronically controlled gates open to a 50-metre driveway leading to extensive parking for at least eight vehicles and a large garage with electric door. Edwardian arched double front doors open into a mosaic-tiled porch and on to a breathtaking reception hall with full-height atrium ceiling, statement chandeliers, original wide staircase, cast iron radiators and a wood-burning stove set within a period fireplace. From here, doors open to a rear porch with stunning views across Swansea Bay and Mumbles, and a cloakroom fitted in period style. The principal lounge enjoys wonderful sea views and features an original panelled ceiling, coal fireplace, cast iron radiators and solid oak flooring. The dining room offers a more intimate setting with Gothic-inspired décor, marble hearth and open-coal style gas fire. The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen/dining/snug space, fitted with extensive stone grey cabinetry, quartz worktops, Neff appliances, two dishwashers, four wine fridges and a substantial central island. A striking hybrid wood and electric range cooker forms the focal point. There is ample space for family dining and relaxed seating, with patio doors opening to the rear terrace and panoramic Gower views beyond. The original kitchen has been transformed into a characterful bar with copper tiled walls and drinks fridge, ideal for entertaining, and a secondary staircase rises from this area. A generous utility room with Belfast sink provides further storage and access to the useful cellar, which also houses a new gas boiler. A galleried landing leads to five beautifully appointed bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom is an exceptional size with fitted wardrobes, far-reaching views over Swansea Bay and a stylish en-suite with walk-in shower and double vanity. Bedroom two also benefits from panoramic Gower views and a contemporary en-suite. Bedroom three has its own traditional-style en-suite, while bedroom five is a charming double overlooking the front garden. A further room, currently used as a study, could serve as a fourth bedroom. The family bathroom is generously sized and elegantly finished with a roll-top bath, walk-in shower and heritage fittings. The upper floor offers a spacious additional lounge area, a sixth bedroom with vaulted ceiling and en-suite, and a substantial vaulted attic room with Velux window, radiators and power – a versatile space ideal as a games room, teenage suite or for multi-generational living, complemented by a separate store room. Externally, the property continues to impress. The south-facing rear terrace spans the width of the house, providing an outstanding entertaining space with spectacular sea views and steps down to expansive lawns. A recently created decking area incorporates a BBQ zone, covered seating and bar terrace, thoughtfully designed around mature trees and fully powered and lit. The gardens feature two large lawns with stocked borders, additional patio areas and a feature oak tree, while the front garden is level and framed by mature planting. A 5m x 3m Dunster House double-glazed log cabin with power offers further flexibility for hobbies or storage. Gated side access, a secure garage store and extensive parking complete this exceptional family home.
