About this property
Little Wedlock – A Rare and Historic Pembrokeshire Gem
Gumfreston, near Tenby | Main House, Two Apartments, Detached Gallery, Barn | Approx. 3 Acres (+ Optional 10 Acres)
A truly unique opportunity to acquire Little Wedlock, a remarkable and versatile smallholding steeped in history and overflowing with charm. Dating back to the mid-16th century, this exceptional five-bedroom former farmhouse is tucked away in the peaceful hamlet of Gumfreston, just five minutes from the picturesque walled seaside town of Tenby.
Brimming with character, the property blends period features — including exposed stone walls, flagstone floors, original roof timbers, and beamed ceilings — with thoughtful modern enhancements to create a warm, welcoming, and highly adaptable home.
The layout is cleverly designed to allow the main house to function either as a single grand residence or two separate cottages, making it ideal for multi-generational living or income generation. In addition, the property offers two fully self-contained holiday apartments, a detached vaulted gallery with commercial or conversion potential, and a substantial Dutch barn/workshop.
⸻
Main Residence
The front porch opens into the oldest part of the property, brimming with character and period charm. To the left, a beamed dining room with a cosy library area offers an inviting space for family meals or quiet reading. To the right, the main living area features a traditional inglenook fireplace, a striking focal point and perfect spot for relaxing winter evenings by the fire.
Beyond this original heart of the home lies a beautifully renovated open plan living space, incorporating a light filled seating area and utility area. Solid oak flooring with underflooring heating and striking arched French doors opening onto the front garden bring warmth, practicality and style together. The ideal alfresco breakfast or relaxed entertaining.
The ground floor also includes a downstairs bathroom and a sunroom with terrazzo tiled flooring and peaceful views over the garden.
Upstairs, two staircases provide separation and privacy. One wing of the house offers three bedrooms and a family bathroom, while the other features two further bedrooms, making it ideal for older children, guests, or extended family.
⸻
Additional Accommodation
• Detached Gallery/Studio
A striking, open-plan space with vaulted ceilings, kitchenette, WC (with potential to convert into a wet room), and built-in storage. Benefiting from disabled access via a gentle ramp and being entirely on one level, this bright and flexible building is ideal for creative, commercial, or wellness uses. Subject to the necessary consents, it may also offer conversion potential into a separate dwelling.
• Two Self-Contained Apartments
Each apartment enjoys its own private entrance, open-plan kitchen/living space, two double bedrooms, and a bathroom — perfect for holiday letting, Airbnb, or extended guest stays.
⸻
Grounds & Setting
Little Wedlock is set within approx. 3 acres of beautifully established gardens, with the option to acquire an additional 10-acre wildflower meadow by separate negotiation.
The grounds are bursting with life and colour, featuring mature flowering shrubs, a variety of fruit trees (including espalier pear), and a productive selection of soft fruit bushes: Blackcurrant, raspberry, strawberry, and gooseberry. A magnificent magnolia, two fig trees, and a wide array of mature species — such as Larch, Sitka and Norway Spruce, Oak, Ash, Beech, Copper Beech, Alder, and Willow — offer privacy, beauty, and biodiversity throughout the year.
A peaceful woodland area, dominated by a towering Canadian Maple, offers endless adventure for children and a retreat for wildlife. There’s also a tranquil pond, a productive vegetable patch, and thoughtfully designed planting schemes that enhance both sustainability and serenity.
The optional 10-acre wildflower meadow is currently managed by a local farmer who cuts the hay twice a year in return for use. This arrangement ensures low maintenance while promoting biodiversity and providing a haven for pollinators. With its west-facing aspect, the meadow also enjoys dramatic sunset views.

• Solar thermal panels providing hot water to the gallery and part of the main house
• Double glazing throughout
• Ample parking and turning space for multiple vehicles
