Pembroke, SA71

Kingsfold is a beautiful smallholding which enjoys a wonderful south-facing aspect, overlooking rolling countryside just outside the town of Pembroke. The property fantastically combines a peaceful rural setting with the convenience of having all the amenities of the town less than five minutes’ drive away. This five/six-bedroom traditional farmhouse was once part of the extensive Orielton estate, originally serving as a smithy, the remains of which are still present in an outbuilding. The property has evolved over the years and now presents as a charming family home with significant potential for a new owner.

In addition to the main house, the sale includes approximately 7.3 acres of grazing land and woodland, which have provided the ideal space for the current owner’s horses. There is also a range of stone outbuildings, the largest of which has planning permission to be converted into three one-bedroom cottages. These cottages would benefit from their own access and gardens, ensuring privacy for both the homeowners and their guests.

Entering Kingsfold from the large gravel driveway, you arrive at the entrance hall, from which the ground-floor shower room and staircase to the first floor are accessed. A door leads into the spacious living room, which overlooks the rear of the property. To the rear of the living room is a porch/study that opens into the garden. The living room offers ample space for both sitting and dining areas and provides access to the kitchen and a ground-floor bedroom. This bedroom offers a flexible space that could serve as an additional reception room, snug or study.

Continuing into the kitchen, you enter a pleasant family space with plenty of room for a further dining area ideally positioned next to the wood-burning stove and double doors leading to the garden. The kitchen features a good range of units and includes a large walk-in pantry. Off the kitchen is a generously sized home office, along with another porch containing a cloakroom.

Upstairs, the property features five bedrooms, each with views over the surrounding gardens and countryside. A family bathroom and separate lavatory are accessed from the central landing. One of the bedrooms is provided with its own en-suite shower room and kitchenette and is configured to allow it to be used as a self-contained annex, accessed via its own dedicated entrance on the ground floor and able to be locked off from the main house.

Externally, you’ll find a large run of outbuildings situated opposite the main house, with approved planning permission for conversion into three one-bedroom holiday cottages. Currently used for storage, workspace, and stabling, these buildings offer excellent development potential. Adjacent to the main home are several additional stone stores and a home gym. Mature gardens surround the property on the side and rear, leading down to the grazing land that extends into the valley and to the stream at the bottom.

To the East side, the current productive garden has dormant vegetable beds, a timber greenhouse and a separate gated entrance providing additional parking for trailers etc. This area also benefits from approved planning permission for the erection of a large additional workshop, should this be desired.

Kingsfold’s greatest assets are its flexible and multi-faceted accommodation and its enviable position offering both the convenience of being close to Pembroke and the beauty of the south Pembrokeshire coastline right on your doorstep. Freshwater East beach is just 5 minutes away. The breathtaking Bosherston Lily Ponds are a short drive away, with spectacular beaches such as Broad Haven South & Freshwater West also nearby. The combination of this superb position with the scope and space both inside and out make Kingsfold a truly exciting proposition.

External:

Kingsfold has three access points, one to the rear of the range of outbuildings (which currently have planning permission for conversion), one to the main house and parking area, and one to the gardens to the east. These multiple access points off the quiet lane that runs in front of the property are very helpful and lend the outbuildings in particular to conversion as they would have their own dedicated entrance, away from the main house.

The main home is accessed via a timber six bar gate which takes you into an enclosed courtyard with large gravel parking area. There are several external stores to the main home, including the original smithy. There is access through the original cart house opening to the rear garden, with dry storage in the large archway. One of the external stores has been converted to form a gym, which could also have a variety of uses including for excellent secure storage.

The home can be accessed from the courtyard either into the entrance porch, or to a staircase leading up to the annex portion of the home. To the side and rear of the home are good sized garden which include a vegetable area, large greenhouse and numerous seating areas to enjoy. The gardens benefit from the same delightful outlook as the main home and run down to the fields below. The rest of the land amounts to approximately eight acres in total which mostly comprise good grazing and scrub woodland which leads down to the stream at the bottom of the valley.

The grounds have previously been used by the owner’s horses and are currently let out for livestock grazing on an informal basis. The equestrian facilities in addition to the grazing include an area of hard standing for wet weather along with timber and stone stables to accommodate several horses.

The stone outbuildings opposite the main house have been used for stabling previously. If these were developed with the planning permission as cottages, there is also planning permission for the construction of a workshop on the other side of the main house to replace the existing workshop. Relocation of the Equestrian facilities to this area would be feasible subject to additional planning approvals.
