9 bedroom character property for sale

Beautifully positioned within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, Delfryn presents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive coastal property, currently operating as a well-established and successful holiday letting business with scope for further expansion and development. Set within approximately one acre of landscaped grounds in the peaceful hamlet of Nine Wells — between the vibrant harbour village of Solva and the historic city of St Davids — this impressive former farmstead has been sympathetically converted to form a private collection of stone-built residences and guest accommodation.The property includes a detached three-bedroom main residence, two adjoining annexe units, three fully operational holiday cottages, and a dedicated recreational studio. Together, they offer a well-considered and highly versatile combination of private living space and proven income-generating accommodation, framed by cobbled courtyards, walled gardens, mature planting, and panoramic views across open countryside towards the coast — an exceptional lifestyle and commercial opportunity.The principal house is traditionally styled, with generous reception rooms, log-burning fireplaces, and a well-appointed kitchen suited to both everyday family living and professional culinary use. Three double bedrooms and two bathrooms occupy the upper level, along with access to an adjoining one-bedroom annexe. Currently self-contained via a secure internal door, the annexe has been thoughtfully refurbished to provide a stylish ground-floor living area and shower room, with a spiral staircase rising to a first-floor bedroom and access to a private balcony with elevated views across the gardens and coastline. A second adjoining annexe, Ty Crwt, offers a characterful one-bedroom layout featuring exposed stonework, an open-plan kitchen and living space, and a modern shower room — ideally suited for visiting guests or short-term letting.Across the courtyard, three traditional stone cottages — Thrift Cottage, Swallows Cottage, and Shell Cottage — have been tastefully converted and are currently run as successful holiday lets. Each cottage has been individually styled to reflect the character of the original buildings while offering guests the comfort and convenience expected of high-quality self-catering accommodation. All three cottages feature well-proportioned open-plan living and dining areas, modern fitted kitchens, and stylish bathrooms. The interiors are bright and welcoming, with thoughtful use of natural materials and soft furnishings in keeping with the rural coastal setting. Sleeping between two and four guests each, the cottages are ideally suited for couples or small families. Externally, each enjoys its own private outdoor space — either a south-facing patio or an elevated terrace, providing sheltered sun traps during the day and atmospheric spots for dining or stargazing in the evening. A detached studio with disabled facilities completes the arrangement, offering generously proportioned space well suited for recreational use such as yoga sessions, craft workshops or art classes, further enhancing the overall guest experience and offering scope for additional income.The property is accessed from the main road via a private tarmac driveway, framed by two stone pillars. The designated gravelled guest car park and courtyard offers space for multiple vehicles, bordered with dwarf stone walls and mature trees. A beautiful stone archway leads to secluded walled gardens, where a landscaped lawn, summer house, and patio areas provide a peaceful outdoor setting, surrounded by a range of fruit trees, flowers and shrubs. From the courtyard, a central walkway is positioned between the cottages to allow pedestrian access to the rear, with additional storage and workshop space offering potential for further development (subject to PP). To the rear of the cottages, designated patio and seating areas are allocated to each cottage, with an expansive communal lawn offering an ideal space for guests, backing onto open fields. These in turn lead toward the sea and the renowned Pembrokeshire Coast Path, placing some of the region’s most dramatic natural scenery within walking distance.The location is both secluded and well connected. The nearby cove of Porth-y-Rhaw lies just a ten-minute walk away, while Solva offers a range of amenities including restaurants, cafés, galleries, shops and a picturesque harbour popular with walkers and boating enthusiasts. Two miles away, St Davids provides further services along with its iconic cathedral and historic Bishop’s Palace. The county town of Haverfordwest is approximately thirteen miles to the southeast and offers mainline rail connections, a hospital, sixth form college, surgeries and a range of retail and leisure facilities. The nearby town of Fishguard offers a comprehensive range of amenities, including shops, schools, places of worship, restaurants, supermarkets, a leisure centre, cinema/theatre, and various local services. The twin town of Goodwick is home to Fishguard Harbour, which provides a ferry terminal to Southern Ireland, along with a railway station. Newgale and Whitesands beaches — both popular with families and surfers — are within easy reach, along with several other sheltered coves and hidden bays.Delfryn is a unique offering — a property of scale, charm, and versatility in one of Wales’s most celebrated coastal landscapes. It presents an outstanding lifestyle and commercial opportunity, with further development potential, for those seeking a blend of private residential use, income generation, and the unrivalled beauty of Pembrokeshire’s coastline.Additional Information:We are advised that the property is connected to mains electricity and water.
