Description

The Valley, formerly The Old Rectory, is an impressive and attractive country house originally built, we believe, in 1827 and much extended in 1873. Considered to be one of the most prestigious homes in Pembrokeshire, some of The Old Rectory's interesting history can be found in the publication 'Royal Commission of Ancient Monuments in Wales and Monmouthshire'. Maintained to a good standard over the past thirty five years by the current owner, the property retains many original features including ornate cornices, skirtings and doors along with some beautiful fireplaces, windows (many with working shutters) and wood panelling. One of the most impressive features being the central wood staircase with beautifully turned spindles and, what we believe to be, mahogany bannisters, winding majestically from the ground floor to the second floor with large and airy gallery landings. The property has ten bedrooms over two floors, two bathrooms plus two further store rooms and separate WC. The ground floor accommodation comprises lounge, dining room, kitchen, scullery/utility. There are two vaulted cellars below. Externally a sweeping driveway through a wooded copse approaches the property and provides ample parking and access to the garage. The grounds of this impressive house are spacious and mature with some fine ancient trees. A walled garden with three stone arched doorways (which were believed to originate from an ancient building where weddings took place) has an abundance of mature shrubs and specimen plants with wooded walkways and secret gardens.
