Hayscastle, Haverfordwest, SA62

Tucked away along a peaceful country lane and surrounded by the unspoilt landscape of the Pembrokeshire countryside, Priskilly Fawr Farm offers a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored and extended period property with exceptional flexibility—something that can only be fully appreciated through visiting the property. Once a traditional welsh farmhouse, the residence has evolved into a highly versatile rural holding, comprising a principal three-bedroom home, an adjoining one-bedroomed converted barn annex, and, within the grounds, a separate converted self-contained one-bedroomed barn conversion, along with a former commercial recording studio—all set within approximately eight acres of diverse, scenic grounds.

The main house dates back to the early 1900s and retains much of its original character, with exposed stonework, premium wooden double-glazed sash windows throughout, and timber beams featured across the home. The heart of the home is a superb dual-aspect lounge, where a stone inglenook fireplace with log-burning stove creates a warm focal point, complemented by elegant built-in cabinetry and original detailing. The kitchen is both practical and striking, fitted with Minerva worktops, integrated appliances, and a central island housing a smeg range cooker. A separate utility room and cloakroom provide functional support to the main living areas, while a study and flexible ground floor bedroom with mezzanine level offer adaptable space for family or guests. The family bathroom is finished to an excellent standard, complete with underfloor heating, a walk-in rainfall shower and bath.

Two further double bedrooms are located on the upper floor: one features a built-in wardrobe, while the second has a walk-in dressing area and access to a same-level, boarded and lit storage space with power, which also houses the water system and broadband hub/distribution equipment. There is also a separate first-floor shower room with electric shower, toilet, basin, and underfloor heating.

Forming part of the original structure yet fully self-contained with optional internal access from the main residence via secure doors, the adjoining Milking Barn has been sensitively converted to provide its own private living quarters. Accessed via a reception lobby, a large, vaulted open-plan room features a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, generous dining and sitting areas, and a mezzanine level ideal as a sleeping space or play area. A separate double bedroom and modern bathroom complete the accommodation, making it ideal for multi-generational living, a guest suite, or income-producing holiday let.

Set apart from the main residence, the Mill Barn offers further independent living space with a private entrance, open-plan lounge and kitchen area, double bedroom and stylish shower room. Retaining the same quality of finish and rustic charm as the main house, this converted barn features exposed stonework, vaulted ceilings with A-frame beams, and a wood-burning stove, all arranged to create a welcoming and well-proportioned holiday or guest retreat.

Positioned near the edge of the property is the former Dreamworld recording studio, a purpose-built structure that formerly operated as a commercial soundproofed studio with associated workshop and catering kitchen. Though now retired from professional use, the space remains intact for reinstatement or presents clear potential for conversion—whether into further accommodation, home office facilities, a creative workspace or additional letting opportunity (subject to any necessary permissions). Additional outbuildings include a substantial barn with power, lighting and concrete floor—ideal for machinery, vehicles or workshop use—as well as a separate machinery shed/garage with double doors and side access.

There are also two field stables, one of which has power and water connected, and a large poultry coop. These facilities add significant functionality for those seeking storage, equestrian potential, or scope for smallholding activities. The grounds are as impressive as the buildings themselves, extending to approximately eight acres and offering a carefully balanced mix of open pasture, woodland, and landscaped gardens. Two fenced paddocks provide excellent grazing or equestrian use; the rear paddock benefits from an automatic water feeder and electric supply. A series of ponds and a mature orchard enhance the setting with both biodiversity and beauty. A large polytunnel, soft fruit beds and a fruit cage support self-sufficiency, and each annexe enjoys its own private patio and garden space. The main house is enclosed by extensive patio areas, including a designated hot tub area with far-reaching countryside views. A public footpath runs discreetly behind Mill Barn’s garden, with a pedestrian-only path to the right-hand boundary.

Set in a truly tranquil location, Priskilly Fawr Farm offers the rare combination of seclusion and accessibility. Local shops, schools, and eateries are just a short drive away, with Haverfordwest, Fishguard, St Davids, and a multitude of beaches—including the renowned beach at Newgale—all within easy reach. The property is ideally situated for those looking to enjoy the natural beauty and lifestyle opportunities that Pembrokeshire has to offer. Whether as a primary residence, multi-generational home, lifestyle business or creative retreat, this is a property that offers exceptional flexibility in a timeless rural setting.

Additional Information:

The property benefits from a comprehensive and well-maintained infrastructure, with the main house connected to a recently installed sewage treatment plant and both Mill Barn and Milking Barn operating on individual septic tanks. Heating is provided by a shared boiler between the main house and Milking Barn, while Mill Barn is served by its own independent system. Reliable high-speed 5G broadband is available, with speeds of up to 120 Mbps, supported by a backup line-of-sight service offering approximately 35–40 Mbps. The Milking Barn and the Mill Barn have been operated as very successful holiday lets, generating a healthy and consistent annual return.

Planning & Regulation:

Mill Barn was converted in 2012 and the Milking Barn in 2017. Both conversions were carried out with full planning permission and building regulations in place. The studio retains its commercial use designation, offering ongoing potential for business or creative enterprise.
