Gorsfraith is a substantial, characterful detached farmhouse set in a huge plot in rural Pembrokeshire. The property offers five bedrooms across an extensively renovated main house (work completed recently) and sits alongside former dairy barns that have full planning consent to create three further residential units — a clear development or income opportunity for buyers who want space and adaptability.
The house combines traditional stone walls and period features with eco-focused upgrades and new fittings. Recent works referenced include new windows, insulation, eco paint and solar arrays planned for the barn conversions; the result is a comfortable, light-filled home with expansive countryside views and a south-facing sun room for all-day natural light. Off-street parking, paddock, wildlife pond and multiple garden areas add practical outdoor space for family life or small-scale agricultural use.
Buyers should note some material practicalities: broadband speeds in the location are very slow, council tax is described as quite expensive, and dataset notes indicate portable electric heaters are assumed for many rooms (so confirm the heating specification). The wider area is classified as remote/agricultural with very low crime but higher deprivation indicators — services and amenities are limited compared with urban locations.
For families seeking rural living or investors wanting a mixed-use holding, Gorsfraith presents a rare package: a restored period home with significant land and permitted development of barns into three dwellings, plus sustainability measures proposed. Interested parties should verify heating details, energy arrangements and service connections, and consider the practicalities of remote broadband and local service levels before committing.
