This property is a five-bedroom, two-bathroom farmhouse located in the rural village of Blaenffos, Pembrokeshire, Wales. The property is listed at £595,000 and has a stated interior space of 2,128.03 square feet. The property is marketed as charming and boasts character features including exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace. The house appears to be a stone-built structure with a slate roof. A notable feature is the sizeable land associated with the property. This includes gardens, outbuildings, and potentially further acreage. There is at least a well established garden with a shed, greenhouse and some potentially additional outbuildings.

The photographs suggest a well-established garden with varied planting. The property’s interior reveals a mix of period features and more modern elements. Some rooms showcase charming traditional details, such as exposed beams and fireplaces. Others could benefit from updates to meet contemporary living standards. The kitchen seems reasonably modernised, while the bathrooms appear more dated. Some of the interior photos suggests the property could benefit from some renovations or even a deep clean and decluttering before placing the property on the market again. The property’s location in Blaenffos is rural, with a more remote feel. While tranquil, this isolation means potential buyers must consider the longer distances to schools, shops, and larger towns. While nearby schools are listed, the distances are substantial, making it more of a consideration for families. The lack of readily available transportation in close proximity to the property should also be noted.

Overall, the property offers a unique combination of charm, character, and significant land. However, prospective buyers must carefully weigh the advantages against the drawbacks of its remote location and the need for some potential renovation or modernisation work. A comprehensive survey is highly recommended to fully assess the property’s condition before committing to a purchase. Due diligence regarding the size of the land parcel and any planning permissions or restrictions that may affect it is also essential. A final and accurate price valuation will require comparing the actual property to similar local properties sold recently, which was not fully possible with the provided information.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
