A historic Swansea cottage is set to go to auction this month in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a slice of the city's history. Owner, Swansea Council, hopes the move will preserve it as a home for future generations.
Sketty Hall Cottage neighbours Sketty Hall, which has been home to a number of historic prominent families and dates back to the 1700s. It goes on sale on June 23 at a residential auction with the proceeds set to be invested into public services.
The building sits amongst mature, relaxing greenery and shares an access route with Sketty Hall off Sketty Lane. It’s believed to have been built as a coach house serving Sketty Hall during the 1700s. It has three ground floor rooms, an upstairs room, linked outbuildings and an enclosed garden.
