Seller InsightThis hugely attractive family home is set in an elevated position in the glorious coastal village of Solva, amid stunning Pembrokeshire National Park. It enjoys an enviable outlook over beautiful St Bride’s Bay and beyond.

“Solva is such an amazing village in which to live; there is so much to do and enjoy here. Everything we require is on hand, and we are also within easy reach of both the impressive cathedral city of St David’s and Haverfordwest. We have many independent shops and excellent restaurants in the village, with the added value of easy access to the local harbour where we can participate in the host of recreational water activities available. The area is renowned for its glorious natural beauty and walking and cycling along the coastal path are extremely popular.”

“It was not in the least bit surprising that we fell in love with the area and decided to purchase property here. We discovered this parcel of land in such an amazing location, and worked closely with a local architect to design and build this lovely home. In addition we were able to specify an extremely high and exacting specification and the inclusion of many natural products such as oak, stone and slate.”

“Entrance into the house is via a storm porch into which we designed two oak storage benches, ideal for sandy shoes after time spent on the beach. This leads into the inner hall which gives access to other rooms on the ground floor.”

“It was imperative that we had flexible accommodation, and also one in which we could invite many friends and family to spend time here. We do have an, impressively, large sitting room which, being double aspect, brings all natural daylight into the room.”

“Our kitchen/diner is highly sociable, with its design specified for this purpose. It is not unusual for us to seat eight around the table with several more utilising the breakfast bar. As this room opens out onto the sunny patio area, it is highly convenient for outside dining, with everything being close at hand.”

“The garden is on two levels, the lower one being mainly used for al fresco dining or BBQs, whilst the upper level is mainly laid to lawn and, as the whole space is enclosed it is ideal for children to play safely and happily.”

“This is an amazing family home in an incredible village in which to enjoy a qualitative and relaxed family life.”
