3 bed barn conversion for sale

Little Highway Mews, Pennard Road, Pennard SA3

Tucked away in the highly sought-after village of Pennard on the Gower Peninsula, No. 1 Little Highway Mews is a charming 3-bedroom end of terrace barn conversion that offers historic character. This unique home offers versatile living accommodation, generous gardens, and far-reaching countryside outlooks, making it a perfect blend of heritage and family living.

Now beautifully converted into a characterful home, No. 1 Little Highway Mews was once part of the outbuildings of Little Highway Farm, a property with a colourful past at the very heart of Gower’s smuggling trade. In the late 18th century, the barns here served as storehouses for contraband brandy, rum, tobacco and other goods brought ashore at Brandy Cove and Pwlldu Bay before being carried inland by packhorse along the old Smugglers Lane. These atmospheric buildings, which once witnessed the comings and goings of excise men and free traders alike, have long since been transformed into a comfortable residence, retaining their historic charm while offering all the benefits of a rural lifestyle.
Pennard is one of Gower’s most desirable places to live, prized for its close-knit community, breathtaking scenery, and abundance of amenities. From here, you are just moments from award-winning beaches including Three Cliffs Bay, Pobbles and Pwlldu, as well as Pennard Golf Club with its spectacular cliff-top course. The village itself offers everyday essentials including a convenience store, post office, pharmacy, bakery, and choice of welcoming pubs. Families are well served by a highly regarded primary school, while the wider Gower area offers miles of coastal walks, nature reserves, and a thriving arts and food culture. Swansea city centre is less than 20 minutes away, providing excellent shopping, dining, leisure facilities, and transport links further afield.
