4 bedroom detached house for sale

A SIZEABLE CHARACTER FARMHOUSE WITH ATTRACTIVE GROUNDS IN A DELIGHTFUL RURAL BUT NOT REMOTE SETTING ADJACENT TO THE BEAUTIFUL INLAND SECTION OF THE PEMBROKESHIRE COAST NATIONAL PARK

GENERAL
Vallen Farm is a Residential Smallholding within the sought-after Carew/Cresselly/Lawrenny/Landshipping area which lies to the east side of the Cleddau River and incorporates stunning scenery and character pubs etc. Easy access can be gained to the former market town of Narberth (approx 8 miles), the county town of Haverfordwest (around 15 miles) and the seaside resorts of Tenby and Saundersfoot (both within circa 12 miles).

The character Farmhouse is ideal for a sizeable family, perhaps one with interest in horses and boating etc. The large Barn may suit tradesmen or the like but it could also incorporate several stables. Indeed, with the Optional Land, Vallen Farm would make a fine Equestrian Holding.

The Farmhouse has an interesting history. It was the birthplace of Idris Williams who went on to become Lord Mayor of London and founded the Idris brand of soft drinks. In the early 19th Century, Vallen was apparently the only Freehold in this part of Pembrokeshire which was not owned by one of the large Estates.
