Pantygrwndy, Pembrokeshire, SA43

Pantygrwndy Fawr's impressive dimensions has several entrance points: the main entrance, the boot room next to the large parking area, and the double doors into the main hall of the Georgian wing of the property. The main entrance, as it stands today, brings you into the eastern side of the building where you arrive in a good-sized entrance hall/study area. This space then opens into the Georgian main hall which houses the first of the two staircases in the home.

Off the hallway you have two good-sized reception spaces along with a door into the older part of the building to your right. Passing through this doorway you enter the second hall and staircase with the ground floor cloakroom to your right. Another door leads you into the breath-taking living room which houses one of the grandest heaths you are likely to ever see. An open fire sits in the hearth with space enough to sit in the opening around the flickering flames.

Beyond the living room you enter the spacious kitchen/diner which offers a huge range of handmade cabinetry and a breakfast bar for informal dining. Off the kitchen you find a large pantry and a utility/boot room which opens back out to the parking area. On the first floor of the home you find six bedrooms (four doubles and two singles), a lavatory, and two bathrooms. The bedrooms are split between the original and Georgian sections of the property and all of them enjoy views out over the gardens and countryside that surround the property.

The master bedroom is positioned at the northern end of the property and benefits from windows to three sides, with views up the driveway and the land that surrounds Pantygrwndy Fawr. Next to the main house you find a remarkable square of farm buildings. Comprising of two straight buildings and one 'L' shaped structure, the barns are a remarkable feature of this property. Currently utilised as dry storage, garaging, and workshop spaces, the buildings offer numerous options for conversion or development subject to relevant planning.

These stone built structures display similarly impressive historical features as the main house with ornate archways, pigeon loft, and fully slate roofs. Surrounding Pantygrwndy Fawr are around 15 acres of grounds comprising of gardens, pasture, and woodland. There is a large lake and quarry to the southern side of the grounds with mature woodland extending to the eastern side of the estate. The gardens and area surrounding the main house have been landscaped with a large patio at the southern end of the property that take in the glorious sunsets and spectacular views of the Preselis.

For those looking for a home packed with charm and character, and which has some of the best preserved stone outbuildings we've had the pleasure of marketing, this beautiful property presents an opportunity that should not be missed.
