Old Sker House - Its History And What WAS It Like Inside? (Before The Renovation)

Sker House near Porthcawl, we look at its history and show some pictures taken inside the house before the restoration when it was still a ghostly grey ruin.

Although Sker House is one of the important historical buildings of South Wales just keep in mind that the house is privately owned and occupied so respect their privacy.

The pictures were taken in 1986 when Sker House was still derelict, it really looked like a classic haunted house. The house has since been restored and was sold back in 2003. The house was open to the public for 28 days a year for the first 10 years but now there’s no longer any public access.

Sker House was originally founded by the monks of Neath Abbey as one of five farms or 'granges' to support the Abbey. During the 16th century, the house was extensively remodelled although it still followed most of the original floor plan.

Due to the remote location on Sker Point, it is easy to see why it is the location for a number of ghost stories, the most famous being the story of the ‘Maid Of Sker’ made famous in the novel by R. D. Blackmore.

Recently, a local video game developer released a ‘Maid Of Sker’ horror game loosely based on the story.
