Manorbier, SA70

Manorbier is arguably one of the most complete and picture perfect villages in Pembrokeshire. Combining stunning homes, a village pub and shop, an historic castle and beautiful beach, this gem on the Pembrokeshire coast is the envy of many. Combining all of the best features of this village with its wonderful position, superb sea views, and history with ample space both inside and out, Glanymor is a fabulous property. In addition to the seven bedrooms and lavish living space that the main property offers, you also have the bonus of two successful letting units. As a complete package, Glanymor is one of the finest properties in one of the best locations in the county.

The main home enjoys three large reception spaces which all look out over the front of the property and down to the sea. A door to the rear of the main sitting room leads back to a family room and the large kitchen which forms a delightful hub for the property. Completing the ground floor accommodation, you have a utility, two large storage rooms and a sizeable basement. Climbing the stairs to the first floor of the home you find five double bedrooms, the master enjoying a luxurious ensuite and dressing room. The accommodation on this level is completed by a shower room and separate lavatory. Continuing up the staircase to the second floor you find two further double bedrooms along with an ensuite bathroom.

There is access from the ground floor of Glanymor into the larger of the two letting units through a lockable door, with the potential for access into the second if needed. The two bedroom rental unit, Coastal View, offers superb accommodation for four people in two bedrooms and enjoys a large open plan reception room with captivating sea views. Hideaway is an equally impressive one bedroom unit which was completely renovated around two years ago. These delightful units offer superb accommodation and a profitable rental income.

Externally the property enjoys ample parking, very rare for the centre of Manorbier, including individual parking for both of the rental units. The gardens at Glanymor are as impressive as the home they surround, with the superb front lawn offering a magical place to take in the direct sea views. The garden is surround by original stone walls and mature trees making this beautiful garden both private and peaceful. The property also benefits from several sheds and outbuildings to the rear along with a double garage and covered hot tub area to the side of the main house.

The fantastic access to both the beach and some of the most scenic sections of the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path is a major highlight of the home, promising endless hours of enjoyment for its owner. The delightful seaside town of Tenby lies less than a fifteen-minute drive away, while the historic town of Pembroke is just a short journey to the west. Glanymor presents an idyllic lifestyle opportunity in a superb and highly sought-after location.

The fabulous space, both inside and out, of this highly impressive home would not be out of place in a country Manor House, but to find this at the centre of a highly desirable village with ample outdoor space, parking and magnificent sea views is truly special. Glanymor offers a house without compromise, giving a buyer every tick list item they could want from a home in West Wales. This remarkable property is too good an opportunity to be missed.
