Modern mansion may be move worth entertaining
IF a grand party pad near some of the most beautiful beaches and scenery in Wales raises your heartrate, then this stunner on the Gower peninsula might leave you breathless.
The huge double-fronted home looks like a set from a Beverly Hills property show or Hollywood movie, but it’s actually nestled in the countryside in Three Crosses.
The first impression when you do find the house will probably be one of awe; this contemporary dream home has a rather fancy facade.
Inside, the central hall has been afforded a significant chunk of the downstairs floorplan, quite rightly in a home of this stature. The central oak staircase is a monster while the hall is double-height and includes a galleried landing, both aspects adding to the impressive space.
The home might be relatively newly built but there are plenty of added characterful features to spot including wood flooring, wall panelling, detailed cornicing, ceiling roses and even some fancy plasterwork in some of the bedrooms.
Interior design throughout is elegant, tasteful and calm, mixing light tones with tactile fabrics and a touch of luxury.
Before exploring the ground and first floors, it’s straight up to party central on the top floor via those amazing stairs, while being dazzled by the immense crystal chandelier claiming a central spot within the space.
There’s an en suite bedroom and study, but probably most people will be more taken by the other room on this level – a huge games room that includes a full-size billiard table, home cinema screen and very posh looking bar. Away from the busy home below it, this hugely sociable space is surely one of the most popular places in the property to hang out, chill out and maybe freak out if there’s a horror movie screening.
Back to the ground floor and there’s a good choice of comfortable and inviting rooms to choose from.
The lounge is huge, running from the front of the property to the back, flooded with light from the dual aspect.
As well as added features such as the ceiling roses and window shutters, the room has a brick and wood fireplace housing a log burner that visually centres the room as well as providing the cosy place where all the comfy furniture gathers.
The design of large, open doorways first seen in the hall can be seen in this room too, as the lounge effortlessly flows into the adjacent formal dining room.
This posh place to guzzle your supper is again generous in proportions and added character features.
It also provides seamless access into the adjoining conservatory and also the kitchen; again both spaces are generous both in size and inviting in decor and features.
The oak units are a solid nod to the home’s semi-rural location, topped with granite worktops and hiding an array of appliances behind the Shaker-style door fronts.
Fancy tech in here includes a Sonos sound system so you can sing your heart out while peeling the spuds.
And it could be a tuneful family harmony, as there’s plenty of room at the breakfast bar integrated into the central island unit for anyone to join you in a sing-along.
From the kitchen, you can potter into the front sitting room, a separate and quieter space than maybe the vast lounge opposite.
From the kitchen, you can wander into the utility room too – and it’s a beast, probably larger than many people’s actual kitchen. Off the utility is a cloakroom, the second on this ground floor, plus the boiler room.
Up to the first floor and the central galleried landing can offer you a route to a master suite that grabs one whole side of the house, with a separate dressing room with ample storage and a luxury en suite. There are added features in this master wing to notice, including a luxury en suite with traditional-style sanitary ware including a fabulous statement bath and classic basin unit.
There are three other large en suite bedrooms on this floor, with the fifth and final slumber space found up on the top, party floor.
Outside, the garden is a private spot, flanked by treetops and with ample space for a hot tub, patios for lounging and alfresco dining, and a lawn that happily entertains the children by accommodating a wooden treehouse, slide and swings structure.
For kids of all ages, up to the top of a family’s generation and down to the little ones, this house can provide the entertainment space. It can also provide versatile and separate rooms in the main house and extra space above the detached garage too, currently being used as an office and a gym.
If you’ve got the budget, this dream house has the space and turn-key style.
