Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • Excellently presented five bedroomed home in a superb position
  • Very private, but a short walk from village centre and the beach
  • Huge amount of parking, very large gardens and detached double garage
  • Luxurious living space with annex potential if needed

Total peace and privacy are not something you normally can combine with also having local amenities and a stunning beach a moments’ walk from your front door, but The Retreat offers just that. This stunning property is truly a hidden gem, set in woodland on the cliffs above the seaside village of Saundersfoot. Perfectly living up to its name, this five bedroomed home offers an escape from modern life, while sacrificing nothing in terms of convenience and practicality. The property is set over a single level, with ample living space, all the parking you could wish for, along with a huge, fenced garden which surrounds the home. In addition to the massive driveway, you also have a detached double garage with office space above. The stunning Pembrokeshire Coastal Path is less than two minutes’ walk from your front door, offering jaw dropping views as you walk into Saundersfoot or nearby Tenby.

Entering the home from the block paved driveway you arrive in a welcoming entrance hall, which separates the five bedrooms and three bathrooms on one side of the home from the luxurious reception areas at the other. The stunning sitting room opens up to the huge deck which runs along the entire rear of the home, creating a wonderful indoor/outdoor space. Next to the sitting room you find the more intimate snug, perfect for unwinding in front of the fire. Off the main sitting room, you enter the elegant kitchen/dining room which offers handmade cabinetry and top of the line appliances. Completing this side of the house is a flexible studio space above the kitchen, along with a large utility room.

To the other side of the home you find five double bedrooms, two of them enjoying ensuite shower rooms. The master bedroom is a wonderful space that opens directly to the garden and enjoys a walk in wardrobe. There is also a well appointed family bathroom off the hallway. At the western end of the property, you find a sunroom and large games room. This highly flexible element to the property would be an ideal entertaining space, workspace for someone running a business from home, a home cinema or the perfect base for an annex to the main home.

Externally the property offers equally impressive accommodation, from the spacious driveway to the extensive rear garden, which is mainly laid to lawn. Off the driveway you find a large double garage with a perfect home office on the first floor above. The gated rear garden can be accessed from both sides of the home and offers direct access to the sunroom and games room if needed. The rear garden is a lovely space which basks in the south facing aspect. The large deck that runs along the rear of the home is complemented by an inbuilt hot tub, covered seating area and summer house to make a fantastic entertaining space.

Only a moment’s stroll from your front door you find the thriving centre of Saundersfoot and its newly redeveloped harbour. With a wide range of pubs restaurant, cafes and shops the proximity to this thriving village is a wonderful selling point to the home. The golden sands of the Glen beach are a short stroll away, as well as Swallow Tree Bay, a tucked away inlet accessed in two directions from the property through the forest. The Pembrokeshire Coastal Path can easily be found following the paths from the property. For those looking for a spacious seaside property that sacrifices nothing in the way of privacy, The Retreat is in a truly remarkable proposition.
