Detached house for sale in Dreenhill, Haverfordwest SA62

Entering the main home from the large parking area you arrive in a show stopping space. The great hall connects two wings of the property and offers a breathtaking, double height entertaining space. The theatre of this space has been perfectly complemented by industry grade lighting by iGuzzini along with a fully integrated Bang and Olufson sound system which runs through much of the property. A door in the southern end of the great hall leads to two ensuite bedrooms, the hand built staircase from James of Ratford Bridge leads up to the first floor master bedroom suite and a door in the northern wall leads you into the rest of the ground floor accommodation. All of the windows in the home have also been hand crafted by the same artisan carpenters. The bright sitting room is the next area you come to, with doors opening out to the beautiful central courtyard and raised patio. Off the sitting room you find another, flexible, reception space which would be ideal as a tv room, child's playroom, or home office. The sitting room has a door into a guest bedroom in the far wall, with a short flight of steps leading up to one of the stunning centre points of the home, the jaw-dropping kitchen/family room.

The kitchen space is housed in what was the original roundhouse of the barns, where a horse would circle the room powering the massive threshing machinery in the neighbouring barn. Today an infinitely more luxurious workspace exists, which would delight any chef. The substantial central island includes a large seating area, perfect for entertaining family and friends in this relaxed welcoming setting. The sense of occasion in the impressive space is heightened by the huge Welsh oak beams found in the ceiling which were sourced from a local sawmill. The stunning cabinetry of the kitchen was handmade by renowned cabinet maker Andrew Williams, who is also responsible for the fitted wardrobes and furniture found throughout the home. The kitchen is also equipped with some the finest range of integral white goods including Wolf cooking and Sub Zero refrigerating appliances. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a large utility room which has access to a ground floor shower room which also serves the guest bedroom.

The handmade French oak and glass staircase from the great hall leads you up to the master bedroom wing on the first floor. This area provides two double bedrooms, a Jack and Jill bathroom, and connecting walk through wardrobe. Depending on the needs of the owner, this area could be reconfigured to provide a master bedroom with opulent dressing room or nursery.

In addition to the luxurious space found inside Denant Farm is the equally impressive grounds and buildings that surround the main home. The Tower is a five star self-contained cottage offering luxurious accommodation for a couple. The remaining two sides of the quadrangle of barns offer storage, high quality stabling, and house the home's biomass heating system. In addition, there is a detached gym in another barn, with the original kennels for the Pembrokeshire hunt next to it. These buildings could offer additional space for conversion, subject to planning, with the site originally having plans to be developed into nine separate residences before the current owners transformed the site into this dream property.

The gardens offer a remarkable range of specimen plants, shrubs, and trees, with numerous and productive fruit trees found throughout. The original stone walls of the farm create magical areas with a large lawned garden perfect for children to play. A charming Alitex greenhouse provides the kitchen with home grown vegetables.

It is a privilege to be a guest in such a refined and expertly executed conversion which retains so much character of the original structure while building in every modern convenience and luxury. To be able to own such a property is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity.
