However, matching this aspiration with the necessary budget can be challenging, especially when such architectural treasures in Wales come up for sale.

One of the most distinctive manor houses currently on the market is Clyne Castle, situated in Swansea Bay, just a stone’s throw from a sandy beach.

Over the years, it has been a cherished home for numerous families who have contributed to its design, size and structure.

According to the British Listed Buildings website, the site originally housed a property named Woodlands, built in 1791. This was extensively remodelled between 1819 and 1820, incorporating battlements and turrets into its new Gothic-style facade.
