Renovation project by the sea where people used to have the best time on holiday
The location is lush, the sea views are sensational, and the potential is bursting out of each space inside and out
Hidden away on the top of the cliffs above one of Gower Peninsula's most beautiful and popular beaches there's a blast from the past that is looking to be your potential dream home by the sea in the future. According to the estate agent selling the spacious detached house on a sloping hill above Port Eynon a large slice of it was once a much-loved clubhouse for the nearby popular Highfield Holiday Park.
Seven of the rooms inside this exciting renovation project were used as the clubhouse but are currently utilised for storage purposes but with some imagination they present an excellent opportunity to expand the living areas of this already-spacious family home. Even without the former clubhouse spaces it sprawls across six bedrooms, three bathrooms, four reception rooms, and an additional ground-floor one-bed annexe that can happily facilitate on-site multi-generational living.
The super-sized feeling at this plot, tucked away behind electric entrance gates, continues in the spacious garden where the view from this elevated position heads straight out to sea. It feels like the garden stretches right to the distant horizon. For more property stories sent to your inbox twice a week sign up to the property newsletter here.

As with the house the garden is in need of some attention but the potential to create a dream home, inside and out, is obvious. Within walking distance of the beautiful beach, local shops, and pubs and an endless supply of fish and chips and ice cream the house is perfectly placed to feel totally immersed within this popular Gower village.
But if a potential buyer also thinks the seaside location would be perfect as a holiday let development then they are going to be disappointed as Highfield House is being sold with a covenant that it has to remain as a single family home. And what a location to bring up a brood of youngsters – the house and garden itself make a seaside sanctuary yet it's close to all you need and the village can provide the perfect base to enjoy all the local offerings including the complex of beach sand dunes, the National Trust-owned limestone headland known as Port Eynon Point, and of course the stunning Blue Flag beach and foam-topped waves.
Just a short hike, ramble, ride, or drive from the front door are the incredible Gower Peninsula locations to explore from the sweeping sands of Rhossili to the popular town of Mumbles, from the rugged rocks and cute coves waiting to be discovered to a short drive to city life in Swansea.
Highfield House is going to auction with a guide price of £450,000 with Fine & Country Swansea but the vendor may be open to negotiations prior to going under the hammer. Call the agent on 01792 367301 to find out more. For more property and renovation stories join our Amazing Welsh Homes Facebook group here.

The very spacious sun-drenched garden patio is perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining and offers a front-row seat to the view. Surrounded by mature trees and foliage it feels like a secluded sanctuary but actually it is located in the village.
