Summary

The current owners of Rhodewood Lodge saw the massive potential in the walls of this iconic building, before embarking on a truly impressive renovation. Positioned on the prestigious road of St Brides Hill in Saundersfoot, this property is a true jewel in the crown of this seaside village. Dating back to 1873 this three-storey detached residence was stripped back to its bare walls in an 18 month renovation, that has reformed the property into a luxurious home which retains all its original charm. Now offering luxurious accommodation including six bedrooms and four receptions rooms this fabulous property is ready for its new owner. The property enjoys stunning sea views to the fore with beautiful sunsets enjoyed by those up early enough to enjoy them. Externally the property also offers a large parking area and well maintained, terraced, gardens, both rare additions in such a prominent position in the village. Almost as impressive as the accommodation on offer by Rhodewood Lodge is its superb location, the property is a short walk to both the centre of Saundersfoot and the beautiful Glen Beach. Saundersfoot offers an excellent range of amenities including award winning restaurants, bars and shopping.

Entering the property from the very spacious gravel driveway, you arrive in the enclosed porch which makes for a charming introduction to the home. Passing through this space you enter the ground floor hallway, which has doors to all the principal rooms on this level. To either side you find a good sized sitting room with beautiful, exposed stonework and large open plan lounge/dining space which includes the stunning kitchen. The accommodation on this level is completed by a boot room off the kitchen and a large utility and separate cloakroom to the rear of the property.

Climbing the stairs to the first floor, you find a cosy snug at the rear of the home with its own staircase up to a bedroom above. A highlight to this level is undoubtedly the fabulous garden room which offers captivating views of the woods and the ground along with direct access to the terraced gardens at the side of the home. The accommodation on this level is completed by three double bedrooms one with an ensuite, along with a family bathroom. All of the bedrooms at the front of the property enjoy lovely views of the sea, coastline and the woods opposite the property.

On the second floor of the home, you find three further bedrooms including the sumptuous master ensuite which enjoys elevated views to the front. The bedroom to the rear of this level also enjoys its own ensuite along with a balcony to the side and its own staircase up from the snug below.

The property is positioned just outside the centre of the popular village of Saundersfoot, perfectly balancing its own space and privacy with the convenience of having all the amenities of this coastal community within easy reach. The stunning Glen Beach along with the pretty harbour of Saundersfoot are both a short walk away, with the beautiful Rhode Woods (which gives the property its name) directly opposite the home. The larger coastal resort town of Tenby is also a short drive away with the stunning south Pembrokeshire coastline literally at you front door.

It is rare to find a home that so perfectly balances the character and features of its origins with all the modern luxuries and practicality of modern life, but Rhodewood Lodge manages this flawlessly. This stunning, no expense spared, renovation has created a home or holiday retreat that would be a joy to return to, be it for a weekend escape or every day. This wonderful property is a superb find in this ever popular rural community.
