5 bed farmhouse for sale

St Davids SA62

Occupying a commanding position on the coastline just outside the city of St Davids, Rhos Y Cribed is a charming, traditional Pembrokeshire farmhouse which has undergone a remarkable renovation. This delightful, Grade II listed, five-bedroom home retains all the character and charm that its long history would suggest and combines it with a superb finish that brings it completely up to date. In addition to this main home, the sale includes Y Bwthyn, a charming three-bedroom self-contained property which can be separated from, or connected to, the main home via an internal door. This fine example of a ‘major & minor’ property enjoy large gardens along with lovely views towards St Davids and down the valley to the coast, with the beach and harbour of Porthclais a short stroll away.

Entering the main home from the large gravel parking area, you arrive in a porch on the side of the home. The original quarry tiles of the porch lead you through into the large main hallway, which runs through the centre of the home. To your right, you find a welcoming reception room, with a door on your left opening to the main open-plan sitting room and dining area. This delightful space runs the full width of the front of the home and opens into the immaculately finished kitchen to the rear. This layout allows for effortless entertaining and provides a wonderful space for any cook. There is a lockable door in the kitchen which leads into Y Bwthyn next door, offering the owner the option to join or separate the two properties depending on their needs. Completing the accommodation on this level is a handy utility/cloakroom at the rear of the property.

Taking the beautiful staircase up to the first floor, you find three bedrooms on this level, including the master ensuite, along with the fabulous family bathroom. The rooms on this level all offer superb countryside panoramas, along with views either towards the Cathedral and St Davids at the front or out over open countryside to the rear. The staircase continues to the second floor of the home, where you find two further double bedrooms, each with commanding views and their own ensuite bathrooms. A lockable storage cupboard between them completes the accommodation.

Y Bwthyn offers a charming, character-packed, three-bedroom cottage which has its own front door access along with the lockable internal door leading into the main house. Entering from the front, you pass through an enclosed porch before reaching the main living space. This area is delightfully welcoming and has plenty of room for both seating and dining along with a wood burning stove in a large inglenook fireplace. The door into the main house is found on the far wall, with another door leading into the kitchen. The kitchen is a well-equipped space and has an external door on the far wall to a gravelled courtyard. The accommodation on this level is completed by an understairs storage cupboard and a cloakroom at the front of the building. The staircase in the corner of the main living space leads up to the first-floor landing. From here, you have the well-finished family bathroom along with three double bedrooms.

Externally, Rhos Y Cribed enjoys large gravel parking areas with space for numerous vehicles on the side of the property. Both properties have their own walled front gardens along with access to a large stone outbuilding at the front (with electric car charging point). To the rear, you find a very large lawned garden which is bordered by a stone wall to the western boundary and livestock fencing and hedgerows to the others. This space offers a blank canvas for any buyer, with numerous options available for its use.

The property is a short distance from the beautiful city of St Davids, with its superb selection of artisan shops, pubs, and restaurants. The coastline that surrounds the property is some of the finest in Pembrokeshire and offers superb wildlife, walks, and water sports. Both the coast path and the harbour at Porthclais are a moment’s walk down the quiet country lane that leads to the property.

Rhos Y Cribed offers a buyer the opportunity to purchase a home that retains all the charm and character its provenance suggests, while combining it with a remarkable and detailed restoration.
