Seller InsightSet on the Gower Peninsula in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this amazing, three storey, spacious, family home stands proudly amidst an exquisite landscape, and is within minutes from a safe, sandy, sheltered cove. The house looks out to the

beach, with each room enjoying this unique outlook, together with the soothing sound of the lapping waves at all times.

Shops are located in the nearby village of Horton and its adjacent village. Everything required for day to day requirements, and more besides, is available here. It is a bustling, friendly, community with many events taking place throughout the year, which includes a Summer Ball and a Christmas pantomime. Children are bussed to the local primary school, and also into Swansea for education establishments for older children. The city does contain a wealth of larger shops, theatres and restaurants, alongside opportunities to enjoy its sporting many venues.

“This wonderful home was built by a member of my family in the early 1900s as a residential guest house. However, through its lifetime, it has been mainly utilised as a large family home, with many generations enjoying the life available here. Several improvements and extensions have, of course, been undertaken during this time period. I have lived here with my family for the past fifteen years; it has been a paradise and privilege for us to live in such a home in this amazing location. When younger, my children never tired of the beach; it was their playground and, now that they are older, they remember their idyllic time of freedom and safety.”

“Each room is special, but I have to confess that my favourite spot is the garden. I sit out here all the year round and never tire of the view and the surroundings. I also love the main reception room. It is spacious, warm and friendly and very much a room in which the family like to gather.”

“We can also enjoy walking in the local environs. The coastal paths are wondrous and there are endless beautiful walks to enjoy immediately from the house.”

“We have held so many parties here, from BBQs on the beach, great family occasions, birthday parties and many other events, whether they be small or large, the house happily accommodates everything that is asked of it.”

“There are so many things I will miss living here, but it is time for me to move on. I will particularly miss the constant sound of the sea, and also the pleasure in sitting outside enjoying the unpolluted night sky watching the stars. However, I have so many happy memories to take with me of the time spent in this wondrous house and location.” *

Sunnybank is a majestic period property in need of sympathetic renovation to restore this home to its former glory. This proud semi detached home is positioned facing South West with nearly every room boasting incredible views over the most southerly point of Gower, the rocky point of Port Eynon, rugged green cliffs and the open Bristol channel. Just paces away from the sandy beach of Horton and within a short walk from Slade and Port Eynon, Sunnybank truly is one of the last remaining Gower treasures.

The main entrance is via a porch which is nestled perfectly in between the bay windows leading to the hall with Olde English Floor tiles and pitch pine staircase.

There are two generous reception rooms with bay windows which take full advantage of the breath-taking outlook.

The kitchen is spacious with ample room to accommodate a large dining set. There is a door leading to the utility room with shower room and doors to both the front and rear of the property.

You are greeted to the first floor by a superb stained-glass widow, there are two large double bedrooms with bay windows and the views becoming even more impressive as you move upward. The third bedroom is the smaller of the three and is positioned in the middle with the family shower room located at the end of the landing.

The 2nd floor has incredible potential but sadly is now redundant for the most part. It has a generous bedroom with the most spectacular views, bathroom, kitchen and dining room / bedroom again with breath-taking views. Externally to the front, apart from the coastal views and easy access to the beach, the property offers driveway parking for several cars, single garage, patio and garden with the most inviting grape arbour. The back is largely overgrown however if cut back would reveal a small area to service the rear of the property.
