Talybont Farm | Narberth | | SA67 8HJ Talybont Farmhouse

“We immediately fell for this house as soon as we stepped through the front door. It offers space and tranquillity. The farmhouse is in a unique, almost fairytale, location with views of the medieval castle and church while the meanders its way through the countryside below,” says Jackie.

“We have lived at the property for five years and have refurbished much of the house to ensure it is maintained to a high standard. We have refitted the bathrooms and converted the Aga from oil to electric,” says David. “As well as this we have two large log burners which create an inviting home in the winter months.”

“Since moving into the property we have created further accommodation in a disused barn. This was stripped bare and converted into a two bedroom cottage. At the moment we use it for when friends and family come to visit but it could also be used as an annexe, holiday let or to run a business from. The house has a welcoming farmhouse style kitchen and dining room. It is my favourite room with a large inglenook fireplace which is big enough to sit in!” says Jackie. “It is a very comfortable house in the winter and our kitchen is the heart of the home where we spend the majority of our time.”

“Our motivation in moving to Llawhaden was to leave the city life and embrace a fully rural way of life. At the farmhouse we have been able to do just that. The property is in a beautiful and central location and located roughly two miles from Narberth and the A40. The area is home to plenty of wonderful walks along the riverbank and through fields. The farmers are all friendly and welcoming allowing you to walk your dogs across their land. We have three dogs and they love the open countryside,” says David.

“We have spent a lot of time improving our garden. Having lived in the city for over thirty years we sought a change in lifestyle and the garden encompasses this change. We have raised beds which are used as vegetable patches, bee hives and a chicken coop for our new additions. We have been able to embrace the country way of life here and have absolutely loved the freedom the house has given us to expand into the garden and provide plenty of room for ourselves, three dogs, bee hives, five chickens and lively grandchildren. We have eight fruit trees and a purpose built treehouse for our grandchildren which they absolutely love.”

“The local pub is a breathtaking walk away from the house with Narberth around a two miles drive. Narberth has everything you could need. A local bus service covers the area of Pembrokeshire taking children to and from school which is incredibly useful. The coastline is also within ten miles of the property with beautiful beaches. The past five years have been invigorating and life changing,” concludes David and Jackie.*
