Rosedale is a spacious three-bedroom Victorian detached house set in approximately 1.7 acres on the Gower Peninsula, offering sweeping countryside views and a high degree of privacy. The house retains period character — diamond-lattice windows, stone elevations and roomy reception spaces — but clearly requires modernisation throughout, giving a buyer scope to refresh interiors and improve thermal performance.
Outside, the enormous plot and existing outbuildings are the property’s standout assets. A substantial rear barn (previous planning lapsed) and an additional front barn with former pig sty offer realistic conversion potential subject to planning consent. The large gravel driveway provides generous off-street parking and the grounds could suit a small rural enterprise, garden overhaul or leisure uses tied to the area’s tourism demand.
Practical considerations are straightforward: heating is by oil-fired boiler and radiators, walls are original granite/whinstone with no known insulation, and double glazing was fitted post-2002. There is no flood risk and the area has low crime, but the property sits in an ageing, isolated hamlet with average mobile signal and very localised economic deprivation. Council tax is noted as quite expensive. The lapsed planning permission is an opportunity, not a certainty — any conversions will need fresh consents.
For a family seeking a quiet rural home with scale and character, or an investor wanting a canvas for barn conversions and rural lets, Rosedale offers a rare combination of land, location and period charm. Buyers should budget for renovation, potential insulation and heating upgrades, and for pursuing any planning applications they wish to revive.
