Higher Lane, Langland

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 soires 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 Mr 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 01792 361656 to arrange a private viewing.
