An Idyllic Country Retreat with Coastal Access

Tucked away in the peaceful hamlet of St Twynnells, just a mile from the village and set amid open fields down a private lane, Valast Hill House offers the perfect combination of rural tranquillity and proximity to the stunning South Pembrokeshire coastline. Dating back to the 17th century, this handsome stone home was once part of the historic Stackpole Estate. With its warm, characterful interiors and sympathetically updated features, the property is ideal for families, hobby farmers, or those seeking a lifestyle escape with income potential.

The Main House

Enter through a welcoming stone porch into a spacious, light-filled home that blends period charm with everyday practicality. The dual-aspect living room features an impressive inglenook fireplace and wood-burning stove, while a peaceful study/home office and beautiful conservatory/fernery offer quiet spaces to work or relax. The central dining room frames views through to the conservatory, and the handmade, free-standing kitchen units have been crafted to incorporate original early Victorian dairy doors found within the house. The oil-fired Stanley range serves both cooking and the central heating system.

The ground floor also includes a side porch and cloakroom. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en suite shower room and underfloor heating. The main family bathroom is positioned at the rear of the house and includes a high window for privacy, though it does not offer views.

Adjoining the main house is The Little Dairy—a fully independent one-bedroom annexe. Currently accessed internally via the conservatory and externally via a private entrance, it comprises a living room, kitchen, and bedroom with en suite shower room. The electricity meters, water supply, and central heating controller for both the house and annexe are located in the main house.
