About this property
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.
