3 bed farm for sale

Portfield Gate, Haverfordwest SA62

Situated on the outskirts of Portfield Gate, this distinguished Welsh Longhouse, originating from the early 18th century, has been thoughtfully extended and modernised while retaining its authentic character and charm. The main residence, gardens, and a range of versatile outbuildings occupy approximately 1.5 acres, with an adjoining 3.5-acre paddock included in the sale. A further 47 acres are available by separate negotiation, offering an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a lifestyle, agricultural, or equestrian holding in a highly desirable area of Pembrokeshire.

The property is entered via a welcoming porch leading into a series of reception spaces, both currently utilised as music rooms. These beautifully presented receptions feature Welsh slate flagstone flooring and are divided by a central chimney breast housing a dual-loading multi-fuel stove, providing a striking focal point. Character details include exposed stonework, timber beams, and decorative a-frames, with front-aspect windows framed by slate sills and oak lintels offering views over the surrounding countryside. An additional reception room, currently arranged as a snug, provides a more intimate retreat within the home and features a log burner. The kitchen and dining area form a central hub of the property, fitted with a range of solid oak wall and base units complemented by glass-fronted cabinetry, pull-out larders, and granite work surfaces. A redbrick inglenook houses a four-oven aga comprising two oil-fired ovens and two electric ovens, accompanied by four gas burners and twin hotplates, creating a highly functional yet traditional cooking space.

French doors lead through to the orangery, an impressive extension offering triple-aspect bi-fold doors opening onto the elevated walkout patio and lawn. This seamless connection between the interior and exterior spaces provides a superb setting for entertaining and enjoying far-reaching countryside views. A hot tub and dedicated BBQ area further enhance the property’s outdoor living appeal. Practical elements are thoughtfully incorporated, including a utility and boot room, offering everyday functionality. A ground floor double bedroom with en-suite facilities ensures flexibility and future-proofing for multi-generational living.

Upstairs, the master bedroom is a remarkable feature of the home, with vaulted ceilings, exposed a-frames, and windows framing the countryside views beyond. The en-suite shower room adds privacy and convenience. A further double bedroom with integrated storage and a well-appointed family bathroom complete the upper level.

Private lane access leads to a gravelled driveway providing ample parking and access to the garage. A dwarf stone wall with slate copings and stone steps frames the approach to the porch, complementing the property’s traditional character. A bridle path extends directly from the land, providing access to nearby common ground and making the property exceptionally well suited to equestrian pursuits. The holding includes two substantial agricultural storage sheds and a three-bay open-fronted shed/hay barn, together with a slurry store, silage pit, cubicle shed, and a cow shed requiring modernisation. Collectively, these facilities offer extensive space for equestrian, agricultural, or general storage use. The 3.5 acre paddock is fully fenced and benefits from gated access.

An additional 4.4-acre paddock situated to the front of the property is available by separate negotiation, along with a further 42 acres of additional land, also available separately.

Positioned on the outskirts of Haverfordwest, the property enjoys convenient access to a wide range of amenities including shops, schools, healthcare facilities, a train station, leisure centres, and entertainment options. The renowned Pembrokeshire coastline—with its award-winning beaches at Broad Haven and the picturesque village of Little Haven—is just four miles to the southwest, close to the famous Pembrokeshire Coastal Path. This outstanding location combines rural tranquillity with the convenience of nearby town amenities, offering an exceptional lifestyle opportunity in one of Wales’s most scenic regions.
