Roch, Haverfordwest, SA62

Set in the rolling countryside of western Pembrokeshire, this delightful collection of properties has the blue waters of St Brides as a constant backdrop. The estate includes the five bedroom main house, two very successful holiday let cottages, a range of stone outbuildings, and around one acre of gardens that surround the properties.

The main farmhouse, Pantier, offers a wonderfully welcoming family home spread over two levels. On the ground floor you find the heart of the home, the large kitchen/dining room which looks out over the garden at the rear. In addition, you have two good-sized reception rooms, each with a wood burning stove and the larger of the two offering a stunning original inglenook along with picturesque views down the valley to the sea. The ground floor also contains two ensuite bedrooms, including a bedroom which has its own snug/sitting room. Completing the accommodation on this level is a rear lobby and a handy utility room. For a multi-generational buyer, the northern wing of the property could easily provide a self-contained annex if needed.

The first floor can be accessed by two staircases, one leading up to the first floor landing and the other directly up to the master bedroom above the sitting room. The three bedrooms on this level are all doubles and either have views of the sea or surrounding countryside. The master bedroom, with its own staircase, also benefits from an ensuite shower room along with a freestanding bath in the bedroom. A further bathroom with Japanese soaking bath and over shower, completes the accommodation on this level.

The two cottages offer award winning accommodation which has been renovated and expertly developed by the current owners. The Coach House is the larger of the two and is positioned opposite the main house. The open plan kitchen/dining space on the ground floor has every amenity that a guest could wish for and leads through to the large separate lounge with a log burner as its focal point. A staircase up from the kitchen area leads to the first floor landing which gives access to the two double bedrooms and well-appointed bathroom. The Coach House retains numerous character features including the original external stone staircase. It also enjoys beautiful views over the surrounding countryside and down the valley to the sea.

The Dairy is a beautifully created one bedroom retreat. The cottage offers a spacious living area with a wood burner and well-equipped kitchen opening off it. Next to this space you find a lovely double bedroom with its ensuite shower room. If needed as additional accommodation to the main house it would be possible to open up an old doorway which used to link The Dairy with the main property.

In addition to the cottages, the sale includes two stone outbuildings which currently provide a workshop and studio/workspace. Both structures could provide further letting accommodation, subject to planning, if required.

Externally, the properties enjoy well-maintained gardens that surround them and offer sheltered and private spaces for the owners and their guests. The gardens are a paradise for birds with numerous native and visiting species calling the valley home.

As delightful as Pantier is, its position is another fantastic selling point with some of the finest beaches in West Wales found just to the west. Walking around the estate the beautiful views down to the sea are a constant temptation to head off and enjoy this world famous stretch of coastline.

Combining this excellent position with flexible accommodation and a successful letting business, Pantier is a superb property which could offer a complete lifestyle change for any buyer.
