ROOMS WITH AVIEW
SOME houses look so pretty from the outside you can’t help but want to have a look inside immediately, and luckily with this stunning Victorian property near the sea we can do that without trespassing because it is currently on the market. But before you step inside the pretty porch of the most attractive stone façade the location is going to enchant you too.
Nestling into a gentle slope in the prestigious area of St Brides Hill and alongside the road that meanders down into the coastal village of Saundersfoot, the house happily offers a stroll down to a sandy shore or a chance to explore the heart of the beautiful south Pembrokeshire countryside.
Saundersfoot is a beautiful place to call home, with website Visit Pembrokeshire describing it as a small but very popular resort with all the facilities you might need, with a pretty harbour and stunning views from the top of the cliffs, and playing host to events such as The World Cawl Cooking Championships.
TripAdvisor has described the village and beautiful Blue Flagawarded coastal location as “a sandy beach with clear blue waters. It’s a great spot for paddle boarding or exploring rockpools, and there’s also a promenade with shops and cafes.”
Back to the house, called Rhodewood Lodge, and it’s a sprawling three-storey property packed with renovated character and gorgeous, elegant interiors across a lounge-kitchen-diner and separate sitting room on the ground floor.
Up the period staircase to find another lounge-diner that boasts an amazing panoramic sea view, as well as access directly onto the stepped terrace garden where a hot tub waits to tempt you.
The first floor has a tasteful, traditional-style family bathroom plus three bedrooms, one of which has its own slice of bathroom luxury in its ensuite with sea view.
Up to the top floor to find the principal bedroom, which boasts a statement bath next to a window that frames a mesmerising sea view, as well as a pretty ensuite shower room.
In total the main house has five bedrooms but there is a surprise at the back - a two-storey annexe wing with a lounge on its lower floor and an ensuite bedroom accessed via a private staircase.
This bonus accommodation could be a holiday let, a guest suite, a teenager’s space or where the owners live when the house is being rented out.
■ Rhodewood Lodge is currently an established holiday let but it could be a wonderful home again. The house is on the market for £1.7m with West Wales Finest Properties, Carmarthen. Call 01437 761478 to find out more.
