East Llanteg Farm & Cottages Llanteg | Pembrokeshire | SA67 8QA East Llanteg Farm & Cottages Set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, East Llanteg Farm proudly stands in this glorious location. Referred to in the ‘Historic Houses of Pembrokeshire’ the house was once part of the Picton Castle Estate, it was known as a ‘gentry house’. The owners both felt a desire to alter their work life balance. Knowing and loving this area very well, and after a long search, sixteen years ago they discovered East Llanteg Farm. A large spacious house which, not only fulfilled their requirements for a comfortable family home, but with several outbuildings, together with a six acre paddock and stables, its potential to operate a successful holiday letting business was obvious. The impressive farmhouse stands in an elevated position and commands splendid views over the surrounding landscape. The house which is south facing had been cleverly extended through the years and has been totally refurbished and enriched even further by the present owners to provide a friendly, welcoming home and one which caters for all the needs of an active family life. The kitchen/dining family room has an impressive open plan design and, with its French doors leading onto the garden, is very much the main gathering area when visiting family and friends are around. In addition to the other, comfortable, reception rooms, one has been set aside for home working. A spacious annexe, not only provides an extra retreat for visitors, but also offers an excellent space for independent living or indeed the potential for holiday letting. The outbuildings were converted into two cottages which have proved to be highly successful for holiday lettings, and also provide extra accommodation when children and grandchildren descend on the owners. With no planning restrictions the cottages are also suitable for full time occupation. The property is easily accessible and ideally located for a B&B and holiday letting enterprise. Local amenities are excellent and, minutes from the house, is Amroth, a seaside village, which contains shops and restaurants. Tenby is also close, as is Pembroke and Carmarthen, both towns containing a comprehensive range of facilities. Apart from the amazing local beaches, sailing, windsurfing, golf, fishing and horse riding are readily available and the area, being known for its natural beauty and coastal paths, offers many opportunities for walking and cycling. The owners are reluctant to say farewell to their amazing home but have relished every minute of their time here. The property has provided the present owners not only with a spacious and comfortable family home but also an income and there is clearly scope for further business expansion.* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
