Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire

THE BIG HOUSE

ACCOMMODATION

If ‘messing about in boats’ and ‘peace and tranquility’ are high on your wish list, then look no further. The Big House sits on the Cleddau River where the water is accessible at both low and high tide, walking straight from your garden onto the foreshore. This detached circa 1800’s five bedroom, family home with three reception rooms, farmhouse dining kitchen, four bedrooms and master with ensuite, is utterly charming. Along with ‘The Little House’, a beautifully converted studio annex with potential to enlarge further into the neighbouring workshop (STP) if required, ideal for multi-generational living or holiday let, overflow accommodation.

Bursting with characterful charm and occupying a truly magical location on one of the most beautiful and tranquil stretches of water in Pembrokeshire. The Big House is a short drive away from the village of Hook with a thriving community and local amenities and the county town of Haverfordwest.

Offering water views from three of the primary bedrooms to the rear of the property, the dining room, and the sitting room with door inviting you outside to the large patio running alongside the shoreline, The Big House is surrounded by natural beauty.

Approached by a private country track with shared access, a driveway to the side with ample parking space and a garage, kitchen garden overlooking the river, with steps leading down to a stone seating area, level lawns, two large log stores and garden shed, complete the offering.

The Big House, where you and the water are one.

SELLER INSIGHT

We believe that the property was originally a traditional farm house, so back in the day, it probably was ‘The Big House’. Located right at the bottom of the valley next to the water, this was my husband’s dream realised, and we fell in love with the house and setting straight away,” say the owners.

“National Geographic magazine has previously ranked Pembrokeshire as second in the world for its beaches and we often head out to the coast for long walks and beach days. If we’re not at the beach, then we’re probably walking our dogs or out on the water. It’s so close to us that it would be criminal not to use it and we enjoy sailing, canoeing, swimming, and surfing. We can launch our boat from right next to the house, so it’s super convenient. There is a fabulous local website detailing what’s on here and our friendly social club is just that – very social! There’s a huge range of clubs and events that take place there.”

“We really go for it in the garden during the summer to make the most of the weather. There’s nothing better than freshly caught mackerel on the BBQ and we turn into walking, talking asparagus sticks come April / May time as our veggie patch springs into life. We have a lovely big driveway where we can accommodate several cars which is ideal when we have guests and there is plenty of space, both indoors and out, for special celebrations, including birthdays, Christmas parties, and a baby shower.”

“We have wonderful views over woodland from our kitchen window and it is bird paradise out there. We see kingfishers and nuthatches, as well as an owl who lives in the trees. Our sitting room overlooks the estuary and offers a different view every day. The ethereal mist is a good indicator of a glorious day to come as it burns away to reveal beautiful sunshine, whilst the deciduous trees on the other side of the water change with the seasons as they showcase their autumnal colours and turn almost florescent green as the leaves come back in spring.”

“The Big House is more than just a home – it’s a lifestyle. Everybody here embraces the great outdoors and I think that’s why everyone is just so relaxed and friendly! We never feel lonely or isolated as we’re one of six properties here and we all help each other out.”*
