Jeffreyston HousePerfectly framed by the rolling Pembrokeshire countryside is the attractive village of Jeffreyston, and occupying a prime position in the heart of the village is Jeffreyston House. Dating back to the 1800’s, this imposing property is one of the oldest within the village, and certainly one of the most attractive.

The owners say that despite being a renovation project when they purchased the house back in 1988, it was the superb sense of space throughout that really attracted them. Each of the main living areas has high ceilings, and the large windows, as well as providing views of the village and the pretty garden also serve to flood the house with natural light, thus enhancing the feeling space. The property was beautifully renovated in the late 1980s and has since been

immaculately maintained, and the owners say that as well as being the ideal family home it has also been fabulous for entertaining, providing a stunning backdrop to their many parties and family gatherings.

This elegant home also benefits from a sizable garden that has been beautifully landscaped. Behind the graceful arc of Georgian railings to the front of the house are two small lawned areas that are bisected by a pretty pathway leading to the front door. To the side of the house is a much larger lawned area that is bordered by mature shrubs and trees, which give the space a superb feeling of peaceful seclusion. The property also incorporates two outbuildings that the current owners say have the potential to be “an interesting renovation project”.

Jeffreyston House enjoys an enviable position in the heart of the village, right next door to the church, which is said to be a real hub of the community. There is a welcoming pub only a short stroll away and the local primary school sits

on the fringes of the village. The current owners say that they have discovered one of the great advantages of living in Jeffreyston is the fact that it is so centrally located, and therefore it is relatively easy to get almost anywhere. It is also a place where one can enjoy the mile upon mile of glorious countryside that envelops the village, as well as the pretty seaside towns of Tenby and Saundersfoot that are only a matter of minutes away.

The current owners say that Jeffreyston House has been a superb family home that has given them a wonderful amount of space in a peaceful village location.*
