The beautiful and historic church a lucky buyer could turn into a stunning family home

A church in Swansea worthy of becoming the perfect family home has been put up for sale. The property has planning permission to be turned into a five-bedroom home complete with games room, home cinema and upper floor mezzanine.

The property had previously been purchased in 2017 but circumstances have changed and the current owner is looking for a new ambitious holder to take over the reins and redevelop the historic grounds.

This stunning and "once in a lifetime opportunity" has now been placed for sale with Paul Fosh auctions with an online property auction taking place on July 26, with a guide price of above £225,000.

The historic 'All Saints Church' was a former place of worship on Kilvey Road, St Thomas with plans for the design to reflect the buildings origins.

Peter Williams purchased the property in 2017 with plans approved by Swansea Council to convert the church into a grand home with five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a games room, home cinema room, large open lounge, dining room and kitchen area overlooked by the upper floor mezzanine living area on the first floor.

Peter said: "This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone to create their perfect family home as was my original plan to do so, circumstances have changed for me following the pandemic and I have moved to north Wales and cannot give this property the full attention it deserves.

"It would be lovely to see someone nice taking on this amazing development project and make this beautiful church into a family home along with a new additional detached family home built aesthetically pleasing within the church grounds."

The master bedroom offers a walk in dressing room and full bathroom ensuite, plus an additional seating area with a full height glass wall and stunning views over looking Swansea City and Swansea Bay Area.

The original application for two additional four bedroom properties within the church grounds has been changed to one large four bedroom property with a study or fifth bedroom providing more spacious external garden, large garage and parking areas.
