AT THE WATER’S EDGE

FOR anyone who likes messing about on the water, this stunning riverside retreat in west Wales has its own boathouse and two private slipways into the River Cleddau.

But the price of owning your own access to the water is an eyewatering £1.6m.

Along with the section of river and somewhere to moor your boat, the purchase also includes a spacious and lightfilled five-bedroom detached home, with, of course, beautiful river views.

Whizz off into the water in your speedboat via your choice of slipway, or spend the day relaxing on the lawn enjoying the uninterrupted, panoramic views across the river to the wonderful Welsh countryside beyond.

Situated within the heart of the famous Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, the home is only two miles away from the pretty village of Cosheston, while the historic castle town of Pembroke and the port town of Pembroke Dock are both only around four miles away.

Called Ferryway, this renovated house has been fitted out to a high standard including bespoke built-in furniture, partial underfloor heating, and a contemporary kitchen featuring coloured LED lighting.

But it’s all about the location with this unique property, with large windows throughout and multiple french doors opening out onto the garden terrace; the perfect place to relax or entertain and drink in the breathtaking water views beyond.

The vendors have maximised the riverbank position of the property by including features such as windowseats and floor-toceiling windows and doors where possible.

The interior design of the home pays homage to its waterside location by choosing accents of blue throughout, coupled with light touches of appropriate motifs such as sailboats and anchors.

Downstairs the house offers a new buyer a vast family space overlooking the views, which comprises a dining-room, modern kitchen, and breakfast area.

For those not wanting to mingle in the family room, there is a large sitting-room which features a log-burner fireplace, plus that all-important french door access onto the riverbank terrace.

On this floor is also a utility room and downstairs toilet.

Upstairs there are five bedrooms, including a spacious master suite comprising bedroom, dedicated dressing-room, and an ensuite almost as big as the family bathroom. The rural Welsh dream home that could be straight out of New York’s Hamptons.

Here the vendors have also incorporated the stunning location into the interior design, choosing highly reflective minimetro tiles that catch and reflect the light to mimic the movement of light on water.

The property’s surrounding land includes a gated entrance leading down a private driveway to ample parking and two garages to store any cars, just in case the new owner doesn’t always want to take the boat to commute to work or to go shopping.

And if the new buyer has their own family coat of arms, there’s even a flagpole in the garden to display to all that they are the new king or queen of this riverside castle.
