3 bed barn conversion for sale

Mathry, Haverfordwest SA62

Part of a traditional Welsh farm complex, The Long Barn is a delightful barn conversion that provides both owners’ accommodation and three successful letting units. The main home offers three/four bedrooms in a unique and characterful layout that captures the warmth and charm of this captivating property. The three cottages, positioned next to the main house, have been successfully run as holiday lets by the current owners for around ten years, creating a profitable business. Set in the beautiful Pembrokeshire countryside, the barns enjoy a wonderful position, with the main home boasting lovely views down to the coast. The Long Barn is also within walking distance of the coastal community and beach at Abercastle, just a ten-minute stroll to the north.

Entering the main property through the front door, you arrive in the charming lounge at the heart of the home. This welcoming room is full of character and features a wood-burning stove as its focal point. From here, you move into the kitchen and living space, another central hub of the property. The well-appointed kitchen, complete with an Aga, flows into a large dining and living area, where vaulted ceilings, exposed stonework, and reclaimed parquet flooring combine to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. At the far end, double doors open into a conservatory that enjoys fabulous views over the garden, farmland, and sea beyond. With its own wood-burning stove and doors leading out to the garden, the conservatory provides an ideal spot for relaxation. Off the kitchen, there is also a useful office space with an adjoining shower room. From this area, you can also access two of the bedrooms: A spacious double to the side and the master bedroom, reached via a staircase to the first floor.

From the lounge, a door leads to a large utility room with access to the rear gardens, and beyond this, a generous shower room. Completing the main accommodation is a versatile ground-floor reception room, which could also serve as a bedroom. A staircase from this room leads to another first-floor space, currently used as a bedroom.

The three barns adjacent to the main house provide popular holiday accommodation for walkers and families. Hayloft is the largest, sleeping up to six guests; House Martin, next door, accommodates five; and The Piggery, at the end of the row, sleeps four. Each barn has its own private rear patio, with access to the communal gardens beyond. The gardens are a particularly attractive feature of The Long Barn, offering plenty of space for both owners and guests to enjoy. They also include a wood-fired hot tub, sauna, and a large wooden workshop with an adjoining greenhouse.

The property is located just outside the pretty village of Mathry, on the unspoilt northern coast of Pembrokeshire. The coastal communities of Abercastle, Trefin, and Porthgain are all within easy reach, as is the iconic Pembrokeshire Coastal Path. Mathry sits conveniently between the town of Fishguard and the UK’s smallest city, St Davids, both of which provide a range of shops, restaurants, and attractions.
