Achieving complete rural tranquility, privacy, and security, is a dream that few properties can fulfil. Combining this kind of position with the unique opportunity to be within walking distance of one of West Wales’ most popular market towns is almost unheard of. Recently built Fairy Bank Farm combines both of these features, offering flexible and opulent accommodation in a truly stunning setting. The main four-bedroom farmhouse offers four double bedrooms and three reception spaces, with a self-contained three bedroom annexe off the main house. Surrounding the property is approximately twenty-five acres of prime grazing pastures with stunning views of the surrounding countryside and woodland.
This family farm underwent a complete rebuild around five years ago which created a property that balances modern comforts with all of the charm and warmth of a traditional Pembrokeshire farmhouse. In addition to the main, split-level, four-bedroom home, the owners also created a self-contained annexe for their extended family. The annexe is connected to the main structure, and can be accessed or separated from the main property as necessary. Offering three double bedrooms, one ensuite, a family bathroom, and an open-plan living/kitchen area, the annexe is a fantastic addition to the property. As well as the annexe, the property also benefits from an additional detached structure currently utilised as a games room with a spacious office above. To the rear of the main house are a range of farm outbuildings and a Dutch barn, adding even more storage space for tools and machinery.
You approach the main house via a long, private driveway which is secured with two automatic electric gates. The house is positioned in the centre of the twenty five acres (approx) boasting commanding views over much of the land. The driveway passes between paddocks and brings you to the large gravel parking area at the front of the property. The driveway proceeds around both sides of the main buildings and offers ample parking, along with access to the former farm buildings behind. Surrounding both the main house and the annexe are numerous seating areas, making the most of the sunny, elevated position and the long-ranging views.
The main house is spread over two levels with the sitting, kitchen and living rooms on the highest level to make the most of the stunning views. On a split lower level is another reception area with a staircase down to the four double bedrooms on the lower ground floor level. Three of the four bedrooms, including the opulent master suite, enjoy their own access to the gardens along with their own ensuite shower rooms. Complementing the main rooms are a large pantry, boot room and utility room which add ample storage to this family home.
Surrounding the property are low maintenance gardens and seating areas to enjoy the stunning elevated views of the surrounding countryside. Beyond the gardens, paths lead through the fields and down into the broadleaf trees below the main house. If you tire of walking round your own fields, woodland, or along the stream that runs along the western boundary, you can walk into nearby Narberth along several footpaths and bridleways. This thriving market town offers a delightful array of independent shops, cafés, and restaurants, along with other local amenities and a primary school. The bridleway that allows access solely to the property also connects to miles of trails, making Fairy Bank Farm perfect for anyone wanting to keep horses.
The twenty-five acres (approx) of pasture surrounding the property increases the sense of tranquility and seclusion that Fairy Bank Farm enjoys. Most of the fields are good quality grazing, with the majority having new stock fencing and gates. There is separate access to the southern block of fields from the access road. To the rear of the farm is a sloping field which runs down to a stream. This field has a range of mature broadleaf trees, ideal for sustainable firewood and a peaceful, calming space to walk through.
To the rear of the main house are a range of farm buildings and a large Dutch barn. These currently provide excellent storage, but also give a useful footprint for any future development.
