Upper Porthmawr Farmhouse and Tan y Garn Cottage
Set in an enviable position above the beautiful Whitesands Bay on the St David\‘s Peninsula, this traditional farm has its origins dating back to the 1750s. With its breathtaking backdrop of the Carn Llidi mountain, and surrounded by the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park - renowned for its beauty and abundance of wildlife - Upper Porthmawr has been completely renovated over the past 4 years.
The Farmhouse offers 4/5 inviting bedrooms and generous, warm and comfortable living space. It is decorated in a character-filled yet contemporary style, with all the convenience of modern-day living.
Tan y Garn, an attractive and quirky two bedroom converted barn, lies behind the main house with its own garden and parking. Both properties are currently run as highly successful \‘up-market\‘ 5-star holiday lets.
Surrounded by approximately 9 acres of fields, and including a range of undeveloped stone barns (with planning permission), Upper Porthmawr offers considerable further potential for development as a holiday complex with the possibility of installing yurts / shepherd huts which would increase the potential income stream (subject to planning consent if used for more than 28 days per year), if required, but would also be a \‘seventh heaven\‘ second property or a delightful family home.
Whitesands Beach, well-known to the surfing community, carries the prestigious European Blue Flag Award, while the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path, which runs alongside the farmstead, leads up to the impressive Carn Llidi outcrop and the St David\‘s headland, offering spectacular sea and coastal views. Both properties overlook the Bay below and the Atlantic beyond, dotted with rocky islands, while inland are the blue shadows of the Preseli Hills. On a clear day, Ireland\‘s Wicklow Mountains can be seen out to sea. Carn Llidi provides a truly stunning backdrop to the Farm and is practically on the back doorstep! Both properties enjoy one of the best \‘back gardens\‘ anywhere: wild ponies, bluebells, heather, rare birds, and distant glimpses of dolphins, porpoises and even whales out to sea.
The charming city of St David\‘s lies approximately 2 miles away on the extreme south-westerly tip of Wales. Granted city status by Queen Elizabeth II due to the presence of its cathedral, St David\‘s is in reality a small attractive village with all the necessary amenities: shops, doctor, chemist, dentist, hotels, boutiques, art galleries, excellent pubs and fine restaurants. A thriving community, St David\‘s has a diverse range of groups and activities run for and by local residents, creating a vibrant and welcoming small city with a sense of belonging and one of the lowest crime rates anywhere.
St David\‘s Cathedral, a dominant presence since the 12th century and a popular pilgrimage destination throughout the Middle Ages, remains so to this day. Its internationally-acclaimed choral tradition and annual music festival further enhance its popularity. Adjacent to the cathedral stand the magnificent ruins of the medieval Bishops Palace, with a peaceful ford running between the two.
