Detached house for sale in Nr Lamphey, Pembroke SA71

Winter Hall stands as a remarkable residence, an original Pembrokeshire Farmhouse with a huge range of outbuildings and prime pastureland. Sympathetically expanded and renovated over time, the residence now offers a spacious and inviting living space. The East Wing was added in 1855 and contains teak from the royal yacht, The Royal Sovereign, which adds another touch of history to the property. The royal yacht was broken up in the nearby Pembroke dockyards with the owner of the home at the time managing to repurpose and utilise the wood in the extension to the original farmhouse.

Once the primary residence for a diversified farm encompassing poultry, livestock, and crops, the property now offers approximately forty acres of productive pastureland. Having not been on the market for over a hundred years, Winter Hall presents a rare opportunity to acquire a period home with ample land, promising a coveted lifestyle in the heart of the Pembrokeshire countryside.

Ground floor: You enter the property from the front and arrive in the impressive entrance hall in the East Wing of the home. This portion of the property was added to the earlier farmhouse and provides two reception rooms and a cloakroom on the ground floor, and access to the first floor via the beautiful teak staircase. A doorway to your left leads back into the original part of the building, and directly into the large farmhouse kitchen. This lovely space forms the perfect hub for the family and opens to a charming living room through a pair of sliding doors. To the rear of the building, you find a very useful collection of rooms consisting of the playroom, hobby room, utility room, office, walk in pantry within the rear hallway connecting the kitchen with the rear entrance.

First floor: On the first floor Winter Hall offers four double bedrooms including the ensuite master, a family bathroom and separate lavatory. This level of the home enjoys lovely views over the gardens and countryside that surround the property.

Outbuildings: As exciting as the internal accommodation is at Winter Hall the outbuildings are equally intriguing. To the rear of the main house, you find a horseshoe of stone outbuildings providing valuable storage and workspace. Next to the home you find a two storey block built outbuilding which contains garages on the ground floor and storage space above. Subject to planning, these two buildings could provide a perfect base for conversion or change of use. In addition to the stone outbuildings, you also find four agricultural barns, ideal for machinery or animals on the forty acres of land that extends to the rear of the home.

In addition to the pastureland the ground includes lovely gardens, a stunning valley with a beautiful lake at its heart, woodland, and a productive vegetable garden. There is also a purpose built stables and paddock to the side of the house making the property of interest to any buyer with an equestrian interest.

Location While Winter Hall basks in its rural seclusion, the convenience of its position is a real selling point. Less than five minutes’ drive away is the historic town of Pembroke with a variety of amenities found here and in neighbouring Pembroke Dock. The main A477 trunk road is also easily accessible making trips to the east very convenient. As well as the prime Pembrokeshire countryside that surrounds the property the coast is also within easy reach. The stunning Freshwater East beach is just two miles to the south with the beautiful Angle peninsula just beyond.

Like the majority of the wood and timber found in this part of the property, it was reclaimed from the royal yacht The Royal Sovereign when she was broken up at the nearby dockyards of Pembroke Dock.
