A rare opportunity to purchase a property of great character and potential.

Description

The sought after village of Solva, in the heart of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, offers wonderful opportunities for boating or 'bucket and spade' enthusiasts and walkers, as well as restaurants, cafes, public houses, shops, galleries, places of worship, post office, doctors' surgery, and primary school. It is some 12 miles North West of the county town of Haverfordwest and 3 miles from St Davids, with its famous Cathedral and ruined Bishops Palace, and is within easy reach of some of Pembrokeshire's most popular sandy beaches, such as Newgale and Whitesands.
The property is situated approximately 300 yards from the Harbour and sandy foreshore. It currently has mixed commercial and residential planning status, with a Premises Licence (allowing music and serving of alcohol). Full residential planning for one residential dwelling was granted on this property some years ago, but has since lapsed. However, we understand the planning authority have indicated that they would not be opposed to this permission being resurrected. The property therefore offers tremendous potential to be used in a variety of ways to suit a new owner.
We are advised that the property was re-roofed approximately 20 years ago, and velux windows were installed. LP Gas central heating has been installed more recently.
