Full Description

A beautiful, 4 bed cottage with ~6 acres. Set in an idyllic, private, secluded, rural location with abundant wildlife. A sheltered, south-facing position, surrounded by meadows and ancient broadleaf woodland. It feels far removed from the noise and hustle of modern life, however, Maenclochog stores and garage etc is 7 mins away; Narberth and Haverfordwest towns are 15 mins away; and there are beeches within 30 mins. The living area of the house faces south over the garden and field, so it is easy to keep an eye on livestock and children and to enjoy wildlife observations. The outbuilding/barn (~30' x 16') requires improvement and has development potential. It stands on the footprint of the original farmhouse before the existing house was began in mid 1800s. The field can be used for any combination of free-range poultry, sheep, goats, vegetable growing and wildflower meadow. The garden includes mature fruit and nut trees and soft fruit bushes and mature flower/herb/fruit beds. The current owners sell surplus eggs and vegetables by the road and in a shop in Narberth. ~5 acres (exact acreage unknown) mixed ancient broadleaf woodland to the west of the house: Wildlife, fuel supply and potential space for cabin / ancillary accommodation. Over the past few years, the property has undergone dramatic, repairs, renovations and improvements, in a traditional country style, using high quality eco/ natural materials and retaining original character features. Some of the works include: Solid-oak and terracotta tile flooring downstairs and natural sisal carpeting upstairs; Solid-oak and granite-top kitchen with Belfast sink; Traditional bathroom suit and utility room with traditional WC and basin; Internal wall removal with exposed character timber joist to make the kitchen and living areas open-plan; Bespoke solid-wood 'cottage doors' with cast iron fixings throughout the house interior; New back-boiler for rayburn and lining of chimneys; Installation of new multi-fuel stove in sitting room; Replacement of hot-water cylinder and various plumbing improvements; Installation of new sewerage treatment plant and pipes; Various repairs to roofs and chimneys; Drainage improvement works behind house; new Velux double-glazing; Timber-clad extension/annexe room; Timber cladding of barn; Construction of a large reinforced glass greenhouse (14'7" x 8'4"); Major clearance works on the land and subsequent creation of garden and fenced vegetable growing area. Coppicing and tree and hedgerow management. EPC grade is very poor due to the solid-fuel heating system and some single-glazed windows remain in the living room. There are several grant schemes available for changing the heating system at this property, including solar power and/or ground-source heat pump. Current owners have chosen not to change the system because they prefer being on solid fuel and enjoy the practicalities and comfort of having a Rayburn, particularly since there is the option of being self-sufficient in wood fuel from the woodlands. The vendors kindly request that viewings are only offered to proceedable buyers.
