4 bed detached house for sale

Goppa Road, Pontarddulais, Swansea, West Glamorgan SA4

Steeped in local history and beautifully reimagined for modern family living, Y Mans is an exceptional detached residence originally built in 1890 as the official manse for the Presbyterian Church of Wales. Remaining in church ownership until 1978 before being purchased by the local minister, this remarkable home has been sympathetically transformed by the current owner following an extensive renovation completed in 2019, effortlessly blending timeless character with luxurious contemporary finishes.

From the moment you step inside, it is clear this is a home unlike any other. The welcoming entrance hall is centred around a breathtaking cantilevered staircase, complete with solid walnut treads and floor-to-ceiling glass, creating an impressive architectural statement while flooding the home with natural light.

Designed with both family life and entertaining in mind, the property offers three versatile reception rooms, providing flexible spaces for relaxing, formal dining, a home office or playroom. At the heart of the home is a stunning open-plan kitchen/dining room, beautifully appointed with a central island, an elegant esse electric Aga-style range cooker, ample storage and sliding doors opening directly onto the rear garden, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. A practical utility room and downstairs cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.

Comfort has been carefully considered throughout with underfloor heating across the ground floor, powered by an energy-efficient air source heat pump, which also benefits from Renewable Heat Incentive (rhi) payments until December 2027, offering an attractive financial benefit to the next owner. A charming multi-fuel log burner provides a cosy focal point during the colder months.

The accommodation continues across the upper floors with four generously proportioned double bedrooms. The impressive loft conversion has created a superb principal suite, featuring a stylish en-suite shower room and elegant Juliet balcony, providing a peaceful retreat away from the rest of the home. A beautifully finished four-piece family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

Externally, the property continues to impress with a low-maintenance rear garden, ideal for enjoying the warmer months, together with a useful outbuilding providing excellent storage. To the front and side, the generous driveway offers parking for three to four vehicles and is equipped with an electric vehicle charging point.

For buyers seeking even greater versatility, there is also the option to purchase a substantial detached garage/lock-up with its own independent electricity supply together with a large adjoining plot of land, available by separate negotiation, presenting exciting potential for storage, workshop use or future opportunities.

Rich in history yet finished to an exceptional modern standard, Y Mans is a truly one-of-a-kind family home, combining period charm, contemporary luxury and energy-efficient living in a sought-after Pontarddulais location. Properties of this calibre and heritage rarely become available, making this an outstanding opportunity to acquire a home with a story as impressive as its finish.
