3 bedroom cottage for sale

Situated between the villages of St Ishmaels and Dale Newfoundlands is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a warm and welcoming Pembrokeshire Cottage, fascinating barn conversion project and approximately twenty four acres of prime grounds. With both the beach and the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path a short stroll down the peaceful country lane outside the property, Newfoundlands offers buyers the chance to get a slice of this unspoilt rural idyll. The property itself lives up to this iconic setting with a beautiful renovation of a traditional Pembrokeshire cottage. The cottage offers three double bedrooms over two floors, three bathrooms, and excellent reception spaces. In addition to this fantastically presented cottage there is the opportunity to finish the renovation of the exciting 2/3 bed barn conversion next door. All of the major work has been completed and the barn awaits the finishing stages to turn it into another wonderful home.

Entering the cottage from the quiet, adopted lane that runs along the front of the home you arrive in a good sized living room with the staircase to the first floor in front of you. To your left is a door into the ground floor double bedroom, with an archway in the rear of the living room taking you through to the kitchen. The kitchen offers a great space for the property with a stable door leading out to the side and a large window enjoying views over the valley. The kitchen is a wonderful space offering bags of character with beautiful shaker style cabinetry, a central island, and a great range of fitted Neff appliances. A hallway opens off the kitchen and leads you down towards the sitting room in the new extension. As you travel down the hallway there is a door to a very well appointed shower room along with a spacious utility with an additional lavatory next door.

The sitting room at the end of the corridor commands your attention as soon as you enter the rear of the property. The double height, glazed, end wall offers wonderful views out over the gardens and down to the Gann estuary beyond. This wonderful space is filled with character with a reclaimed parquet floor, wood burning stove and the painted stone of the original side of the cottage. A set of bifold doors take you out to an area of decking that offers the perfect space to take in the views and stunning sunsets.

Heading up to the first floor of the home you find two double bedrooms to either side of the central landing. Both bedrooms enjoy their own ensuite bathrooms with freestanding baths cleverly positioned into the eaves.

Across the spacious farmyard from the cottage, you find the fantastic barn conversion project. This stone building has already been sympathetically re-pointed and re-built using traditional methods. A new natural slate roof has been fitted along with conservation rooflights, whilst maintaining character with the original wooden A frames preserved internally. A new concrete floor has been installed to subbase level and is ready for internal fit out. The Barn currently stands as a solid, weatherproof building ready for final completion.

The plans for the property included two bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms and a third in a traditional Crogg loft above, kitchen, utility, bathrooms, and an open plan living space with wonderful views down the valley. The barn conversion would have its own access, services and gardens to the cottage offering huge scope for a variety of uses. With its position away from the cottage along with the separation of the land, both properties would enjoy privacy from each other.

Historically there has also been planning permission granted for the construction of a third property between the cottage and the barn. While this has now lapsed this could offer a fantastic opportunity to further develop the estate with either more habitable accommodation or a garage, workshop, or storage building.

The grounds at Newfoundlands extend to approximately 24 acres in total. In addition to the gardens around the properties this mostly comprises two large slightly sloping fields which run to the north of the building and run down to the small stream at the bottom of the valley. The eastern field has been cut to produce hay for the last few years but could easily provide an excellent home for livestock, equines or fertile crop farming. The western field runs down towards the Gann estuary and while it has been farmed in the recent past it currently provides a wonderful habitat for wildlife. The land offers numerous opportunities for additional income, subject to any relevant planning, with its wonderful position it is ideal for glamping or shepherds huts.

Newfoundland is situated between the villages of St Ishmaels and Dale. St Ishmaels offers a thriving community, pub, garden centre and primary school along with the hidden gem of Monk Haven beach. Dale is one of Pembrokeshire finest coastal villages and is a mecca for water sports along with being home to a range of great eateries. Because of the proximity to the stunning beaches of Lindsway Bay, Marloes Sands, Musselwick Beach, St Brides Bay, Little Haven and Broad Haven, Newfoundland is ideally positioned and within easy reach (5-10 minutes drive) to all. The Pembrokeshire Coastal Path at the end of the lane takes you all the way into the village with the stunning walk taking in this beautiful section of coast. The coastal path offers hours of enjoyment to any owner and for those with an equestrian interest there are fantastic riding options directly from the property.

For those looking for a multi-generational home, business venture or private family residence Newfoundlands offers a wonderful opportunity to purchase two properties with ample ground, all in a stunning coastal setting.

Externally:

Both the Cottage and the barn have their own access from the quiet, adopted lane and enjoy large parking areas. A former farmyard splits the two properties and offers even more parking or the basis for further gardens. This farmyard area historically had planning permission for the construction of a third property, which could be applied to be reinstated by a purchaser. The land encompasses approximately 24 acres. The main gardens for the cottage extend to the west side taking in the wonderful views down the valley. The lawned garden is predominantly flat and well fenced with a decked seating area opening off the sitting room. To the rear of the cottage there is an outside shower which is perfect for washing off children, yourselves or dogs after a day at the beach.

Besides the gardens surrounding the properties, the area primarily consists of two large fields extending north of the building and descending to a small stream at the bottom of the valley. The eastern field, which has been harvested for hay in recent years, could easily support equines, livestock or be used for fertile crop farming. The western field overlooking the Gann estuary is suitable for a variety of possibilities and, though it was farmed in the past, now serves as a wonderful wildlife habitat. The current owners have segregated an area of three paddocks adjacent to the cottage garden complete with mobile (equine) stables positioned to house their small number of pet goats and ducks at night. Being within close proximity to the property ensures the company of their rescued animals can be enjoyed whilst relaxing in the garden or dining al fresco on the decked terrace.

The equine stabling includes one double and one single mobile stable. Having heavy duty metal skids, frames and anchors and made from FSC approved timber these buildings are in good order having been professionally erected only a couple of years ago. The mobile stabling can be included or removed prior to sale to suit a buyer. Newfoundlands is perfect for those interested in having their own smallholding, an owner with an equestrian interest or simply buyers who appreciate having their own slice of this beautiful countryside on the coast.
