Called Penygraig, the substantial home in this tranquil spot can be found at the end of a private, single-track lane and offers not only acres of land but also access to the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, and is within walking distance to Ceibwr Bay.

Website, Visit Pembrokeshire states that this tiny inlet of rocks and sand is a remote beach still offering a pocket of coast how nature intended it; just rugged cliffs and the cutest of sandy beaches with not an ice cream van or toilet block in sight.
For anyone requiring a more family-friendly and accessible sandy shore to enjoy, Poppit Sands and St Dogmaels are a short drive to the north, and Newport beach can be found to the south. Both are more accessible locations with larger beaches but they still retain their outstanding natural beauty.

There’s plenty of beauty to be seen back at this Pembrokeshire cottage for sale too. Outside there are about 20 acres of coastal land that offers immense sea views from multiple vantage points within the land boundary.
The home was actually a farmhouse in a former life and now it’s a stunning home by the sea with tasteful interior design that successfully combines the period character with a modern, understated scheme.
But before stepping inside to appreciate the master class in comfortable and restful country cottage design, there are two outbuildings to investigate to get your imagination whirring.
Outbuilding number one

The main outbuilding is found opposite the house and offers an array of future uses to fit the new owner’s lifestyle and is limited probably only by their imagination, budget or planning.
The estate agent selling the home says the building currently comprises of two enclosed rooms with power, spotlights, and heating connected, and previous uses include a home gym and games room. But a home office, indoor pool and spa or even annexe might be other options – all subject to planning permission of course.
Adjacent to the main parking area is another outbuilding that is currently a garage and workshop, again with utilities connected and varied options for the future.

Back to the main house and the colour pallet of the internal structure of the house is calm and classic. White walls, whether on smooth plaster, wood panels or tactile cottage stone walls is the predominant backdrop that allows features and furniture to make a statement, and the added accessories to grab attention too.
The chosen colours for soft furnishings, fabrics, accessories and some furniture pieces range from contemporary grey to pops of colour surely influenced by the tones of nature appearing constantly at the windows.

There’s space for a potential log burner in the substantial fireplace at one end but at the other end there is already a log burner plus a door that leads to a very handy home office, although, with amazing views from the dual aspect windows, who knows how much work you’d actually get done in here?
The door nearer the fireplace back in the living room takes you to the hall, rear door, utility and shower room. There’s a porch here too, so that pesky sand and soggy dog can be tended to before entering the bulk of the beautiful home.
