Penally, Tenby, Sir Benfro, SA70

St Deiniol’s Lodge, Penally – a captivating Signature Listing now available for £795,000 – presents a rare opportunity to own a truly unique home in an exceptional setting. With sea views and a commanding outlook over the evocative medieval ruins of the Chapel of St Deiniol, dissolved by Henry VIII in 1534, this remarkable residence combines a rich sense of history with the finest in contemporary living.
Originally built in 2005 as overflow accommodation for the neighbouring Penally Abbey, the property reflects the same level of craftsmanship and elegance associated with the historic estate. This detached four-bedroom, four-bathroom home exudes both comfort and grandeur, offering spacious living in a setting steeped in heritage. Solid oak & traditional tiled flooring flows through the ground floor, complemented by traditional coving and sash-style double-glazed windows that flood each room with light. The main living room features a striking Portuguese sandstone fireplace with a gas fire, perfect for cosy evenings, while the open-plan kitchen, living, and dining space is both practical and beautiful, boasting granite worktops, a log burner, and plenty of room for entertaining.
Bison beam construction on the upper floor ensures exceptional sound insulation, while a new boiler adds to the home’s modern convenience. A spectacular stained-glass front door and an eye-catching landing window offer charming nods to the past, while the exterior – built in a stone finish with double-block insulation – speaks to both quality and permanence.
Set within what were once the kitchen gardens of Penally Abbey and inspired in name by the nearby holy site of St Deiniol’s Well, the home is imbued with a deep local significance. Even the legendary actor Peter O’Toole once stayed here, adding a dash of star quality to this already extraordinary address.
With parking for three cars, a garage, and just minutes from the seaside town of Tenby, St Deiniol’s Lodge is a rare blend of historical character and contemporary luxury – a true hidden gem in one of Pembrokeshire’s most desirable locations.
