5 bedroom detached house

Impressive coastal property set in generous grounds.

Description

The original parts of Sunny Hill house are thought to date c.1800s with alterations and extensions in the 1970s and c.2012. The current owners have done significant changes to the property in recent years including:
Complete electrical, heating and plumbing overhaul including new LPG underground tank, new private drainage system, complete overhaul to existing water supply system with significant increase in pressure. Complete overhaul and landscape of grounds including the addition of a new private driveway and new steel framed and insulated two storey workshop/building. We have been informed by the vendors that there has been a massive undertaking of groundworks involving the removal of 1000’s of tonnes of stone and subsoil and significant re-landscaping.

Ground Floor
A side entrance porch with boiler room and gymnasium off (latter in a dressed container), leads into the kitchen breakfast room with smart fitted units, worktops, integrated appliances including oven and grill, gas hobs, extractor hood, dishwasher, fridge and freezer. A door leads off to an inner hall with cloakroom and store cupboard off. Adjacent is the light dining room. A step leads up to the large reception room featuring double French doors opening to the side patio and a fireplace with an electric fire providing a warm focal point.

First Floor
The staircase rises up from the inner hall to the first-floor accommodation that includes a principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room with a body jet shower. There are three further generous size bedrooms together with a small bedroom (currently used as a study but was originally plumbed for use as an additional bathroom - pipe work still in place if wanted) that provide further accommodation space. These bedrooms share the use a family bathroom with a bath and a hand shower and a separate shower cubicle with a body jet shower.

Six berth cabin/chalet
On the courtyard to the side of the house is a useful six berth cabin/chalet that includes an open plan kitchen-dining-living room with two sets of double French doors that open out onto the side steps and patio area. There are two separate bedrooms (one with an en suite WC and wash basin) together with another separate shower room with WC and wash basin. The cabin/chalet has the use of a separate laundry outbuilding to the side.

New Garage/Workshop
Above the courtyard is a superb newly built and insulated garage/workshop that can house several vehicles. It spans just under forty feet across by thirty feet depth. There are front & rear sliding doors for ease of access, double storey with two large mezzanine areas with two electric winch operated staircases for access and full-length sky lights for excellent natural light. This building is perfect for the storage and maintenance of classic cars, boats etc. There is water/waste piped to the garage ready for new owner to fit toilet/sink/kitchenette if wanted.

Externally
The property is approached via a smart gated entrance with impressive stone wall that leads down a gravelled drive to the main courtyard by the house and chalet/cabin. The drive passes a large lawned area on the right bordered by striking stone walls and newly planted trees. The gravelled courtyard provides a sheltered area to enjoy for alfresco dining. There are also large parking areas near the garage and entrance gates for vehicles, boats, trailers etc. There are also a number of useful new ‘dressed’ containers that the owners use for storage purposes. In all, the property is set in about 0.98 acres (stms – subject to measured survey). There is also the original driveway/entrance that allows for drive in/drive out access. The original driveway is owned by the neighbouring Pen Pant Farm with Sunny Hill having a right of use.

Location

Sunny Hill is located only about a mile from the picturesque fishing village of Solva within the famous Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Solva is a beautiful traditional fishing village with a beach, good pubs, cafés, restaurants, art galleries and shops.

The historical ‘city’ of St David's City is only about two miles to the west and has numerous pubs, restaurants, cafés, shops and an independent supermarket. It also features a medieval Bishop's Palace and Cathedral which were built in a natural hollow so that they were not visible by raiders from the sea. St Davids School caters for three- to sixteen-year-olds with the sixth form in Haverfordwest High or Pembrokeshire College.

Haverfordwest which is the county town of Pembrokeshire is about 14 miles and has supermarkets, pubs, cafés and restaurants.

Carmarthen and the A48 M4 link road is about 43 miles providing quick access to south Wales (Swansea about 70 miles, Cardiff about 113 miles) the Severn Bridge and beyond.

The beaches in Pembrokeshire are probably some of the most spectacular in the country. Apart from Solva beach down the road, Whitesands beach near St David's is a sandy beach suitable for surfing and swimming. Newgale beach with its rugged, sweeping vista is also very impressive, again offering excellent surfing. Travelling further afield about six miles to the north you will find Abereiddy beach which is a popular spot for coasteering an excellent outdoor pursuit for children and adults alike. The local area also provides one of the best areas for scuba diving.

The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park offers miles of stunning coastal walks and beaches while the sea provides the perfect playground for boating enthusiasts. If you just want a short walk around the coast next to Solva then the Gribin Coastal Walk is ideal or a longer walk starting from Porthclais harbour is fun. Just as interesting is a walk in the Preseli Hills and Mountains to see first-hand where the Stonehenge "blue stones" originated.

There is an incredible amount of wildlife to observe whilst walking the coast or you can take a boat trip to visit Skomar or Ramsey islands where you will see puffins, seals and dolphins. Equally there are excellent bird-watching opportunities throughout Pembrokeshire.

For golfers there are two very good golf courses at St Davids and Haverfordwest.
