Freshwater East, Pembroke, SA71

A truly rare opportunity to acquire a significant property sitting right on the Pembrokeshire Coast. This hidden gem quietly sits among the dunes of Freshwater East Bay within the Pembrokeshire National Park. It's discreetly tucked away, barely visible to the public eye, and comes with its own deeded right of way leading directly to the golden sands of a safe sandy beach. Here, you can leave the everyday stresses behind, and nothing but the soothing sounds of the sea and coastal birds will intrude upon your peace and tranquility.

When the summer sun graces the scene, it bathes the front of the house all day long, creating a perfect setting for al fresco dining, entertaining, or simply unwinding while enjoying the sheltered southerly exposure from the landscaped patio area, the wrap-around deck, or the master bedroom's balcony.

The property, accessible via a private driveway, is set within roughly 1/4 acre of low-maintenance private grounds adorned with mature plants and shrubs. This vantage point offers breathtaking panoramic sea and coastal views from all principal rooms.

The Dingle boasts an open-plan layout, capturing expansive coastal views over Freshwater East Bay, Lundy Island, and extending all the way to the Devon and Somerset coast. The spacious lounge area provides an uninterrupted panoramic view of the entire bay through a wide expanse of glass, with two large patio doors leading to the wrap-around deck and patio area. These spots are ideal for observing surfers conquering the waves, local fishermen setting out to sea each morning, sailboats gracefully hugging the coastline, and walkers savouring the beauty of the shore.

As the current owner aptly puts it, "Imagine pouring a cup of coffee, donning your dressing gown and slippers, then taking the private path from your front garden down to the beach to enjoy a magical sunrise with your first cuppa of the day!"

With no light pollution, the night skies are clear and bright, and the full moon shimmering on the bay is a sight to behold!

Location:

Freshwater East village graces a sheltered bay just south of Lamphey, within the southwestern part of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. It remains a tranquil area beloved by walkers and nature enthusiasts who relish the coastal path along the headlands. You can venture eastward to the remote Swanlake Bay and onward to Manorbier with its striking red sandstone cliffs, or westward to Stackpole Quay and Barafundle Beach. The bay boasts a broad sandy beach backed by dunes, featuring sheltered rocky sections on its eastern side. The area is rich in marine and birdlife, with the dunes behind the beach designated as a local nature reserve known as 'The Burrows.'

A local award winning pub, Jacks at the Longhouse, only a short stroll away along the beach, and you'll find the nearest shop and petrol station just a mile away in the charming village of Lamphey. The Dial Inn in Lamphey, recently refurbished, garners a five-star rating for its superb food and service. Lamphey Hall is another popular venue. Pembroke, a medieval fortified town with a historic castle and a main street adorned with fine old buildings, offers a variety of shops, an excellent deli, pubs, cafes, restaurants, as well as supermarkets and all other essential amenities of a small town. It's located approximately 4 miles away.

The Dingle enjoys easy access via the main A477 trunk road to the M4 motorway system, allowing for a comfortable commute to Cardiff, approximately 90 miles away, as well as to London and central England.
