Summary - Old Walls, Llanrhidian, Swansea, SA3 SA3 1HA
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Large plot and countryside views — substantial renovation project sold at auction.
Four generous bedrooms; two bathrooms, sizeable reception rooms
Set on a large, secluded plot in the heart of North Gower, this four-bedroom detached house offers a rare renovation opportunity with far-reaching countryside views. The property retains traditional charm—original floorboards, exposed features and a tiled hearth around the range cooker—providing a solid canvas for a sympathetic country conversion. With double glazing installed post-2002 and fast broadband, practical modern upgrades can be combined with characterful restoration.
The ground floor provides a generous reception room, kitchen with range-cooker setting, cloakroom and utility area; upstairs are four well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms. The plot stretches to the rear with open land and mature hedgerows, ideal for gardening, outdoor living or smallholding uses. Off-street parking and private access set the house well back from the quiet lane, delivering privacy and peaceful rural living close to coastal paths and Gower beaches.
Important practical points: the house needs full renovation throughout, including bathroom and kitchen refurbishment, and the granite walls are assumed to have no insulation. Main heating is oil-fired boiler and radiators; oil supply and future running costs should be considered. Council tax is noted as quite expensive. The property will be sold at auction via the Modern Method of Sale and carries a non-refundable reservation fee of 4.5% (min £6,600) plus a requirement to complete within 56 days — prospective buyers should be clear on these terms before bidding.
This home will suit a buyer seeking a project rather than a move-in-ready house: families or downsizers wanting long-term investment in a scenic location, or renovators aiming to create a modern country residence while retaining period character. The rural setting, low crime and proximity to village amenities add to the appeal, but the cost and scope of renovation and ongoing running costs must be factored into any offer.
