Glom FarmFrom its wide, sandy beaches and rugged cliffs to sweeping estuaries and wild inland hills, the Pembrokeshire landscape is both dramatic and beautiful. Standing on one of the highest points within south Pembrokeshire and enjoying panoramic views of the spectacular surroundings is Glom Farm, a hugely attractive farmhouse-style property that was built a little over twenty-five years ago.

The current owners purchased the property nineteen years ago, only a few months after visiting the area for the very first time. They say that although the house was in need of some TLC, for them Glom Farm was “the whole package that ticked all the boxes.”

The main house is extremely spacious and has an easy flow that is perfect for busy family life, and over the years the owners have made a number of improvements. As well as updating the décor throughout, they have also renewed the double-glazing and installed solar panels which are said to make the house much more economical to run. They have recently added a beautiful conservatory, which allows one to enjoy views of the stunning garden and open countryside beyond, even during the most inclement weather.

In addition to the main house, a pretty stone cottage provides extra accommodation for visiting family or friends, or alternatively, given the outstanding location, would make the ideal holiday let. To the rear of the cottage the owners have also installed a swim spa, which is heated all year round and is said to be the perfect place to relax after a hard day.

The farmhouse is set well back from the road and is enveloped by just under an acre of pretty grounds. When the current owners purchased the property the garden was something of a wilderness, but over the years they have landscaped the entire area, and now an abundance of trees and shrubs surround a rolling lawn, giving the entire space not only a very open feel but also one of peaceful seclusion. The garden also contains a number of fruit trees, including apple, cherry, fig, pear and plum, as well as a productive organic vegetable plot and fruit bushes.

Glom Farm is surrounded by mile upon mile of glorious Pembrokeshire countryside, and is also only a short distance from the plethora of secluded sandy bays that are dotted along the picturesque coastline. The owners say that they love nothing more than to walk the surrounding fields or stroll along the beach with their dog, more often than not bumping into friends and neighbours along the way.

Although the property is set in a wonderfully rural location, everything one could possibly want or need on a day-to-day basis is very close at hand. The nearby village of Lamphey has a good array of shops and amenities, and the house is almost equidistant between the towns of Tenby and Pembroke Dock.

The current owners say that they will be terribly sad to leave Glom Farm, and will especially miss the great sense of community that they have experienced during their time at the property. It is a wonderful family home that has provided a truly unique opportunity to enjoy and embrace all that this stunning location has to offer.*

Situated on The Ridgeway, The Glom has magnificent views across the countryside towards the sea. On a clear day, both Lundy and the north coast of Devon are visible. With four bedrooms in the main house, and a detached two/three bedroom cottage, it is ideal for an extended family, or for anyone needing to generate an income from a holiday let or residential rental. Built approximately 25 years ago, it is centrally located with the towns of Tenby, Pembroke, and Kilgetty a short drive away.

Recent additions to the property include a glass roofed conservatory and solar PV panels which can generate an annual income in excess of £1,800 as well as saving on electricity running costs.
