Langland Bay Manor is by far the most dominant Grade ll listed building, built in the mid-nineteenth century and backing onto the Newton Cliffs. Built in the Scottish Baronial style for the Crawshay family, an affluent family whose wealth was derived from the iron works in Merthyr Tydfil. They used Langland Bay Manor as their summer residence. The original family crest is carved in wood and is located in the grand entrance hall on the staircase in the main building. The Manor later became part of The Langland Bay Hotel, following that it became The Club Union Convalescent Home for miners. After a period of closure, it was renamed Langland Bay Manor and converted into 25 luxury apartments with two houses located to the rear.
The entire home is beautifully presented and has been fitted with secondary glazing throughout giving the benefit of addition insulation along with being the only property in the estate with full gas central heating. 14 Langland Bay Manor also benefits from an intercom system.
