Summary
It took a great deal of vision, trust in the design, and faith in its execution to transform this expanse of solid granite cliff into a remarkable coastal property, but in Ty’r Arfordir the owners have created something truly remarkable. Designed to fully enjoy the elevated and ever changing views of coastline, town and hills that stretch out in front of this captivating property, the success of this unique project is incredibly impressive.
Designed as three ‘boxes’ that sit on top of each other and on steel supports embedded into concrete, the property appears to climb the hillside, with each level almost a separate unit to the next. At its base the first level offers utility, practicality, and storage. The middle level is dedicated to guests or family and the top level houses the main living areas and master suite which share the most impressive views in the property.
Entering the property from the spacious parking area you arrive in a central hallway which has doors to the double garage, cloakroom, and large boiler/storage room. Climbing the stairs to the first floor you enter the portion of the property that is centred around family and guest bedrooms. This level contains three double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The junior master bedroom on this level has its own ensuite and all three of the bedrooms enjoy sea views to the front of the home.
Continuing up to the top floor of the building you enter the living area with the master bedroom wing off to the side. The master bedroom offers a walk-in wardrobe, sumptuous ensuite bathroom, and access to the balcony which runs along the front of the property. The main living area also opens onto this balcony and enjoys some of the finest views of the home. The living room opens into a dining area and back into the kitchen with this wonderful space being ideally suited for entertaining. To the rear of this floor you find a home office/bedroom five, utility, and cloakroom. There is access to the rear gardens and deck from this level which is a wonderful space to take in the setting sun.
The gardens at the property offer numerous sheltered seating spots to enjoy both the outstanding views and the sun throughout the day. To either side of the property streams run down the boundaries of the garden and the sound of running water is a delightful feature to the home.
Ty’r Arfordir is perched on the hillside and looks out over the towns of Goodwick and Fishguard. This elevated position makes the outlook over the bay even more impressive with the sweeping vista continuing to the Preseli Mountains in the east. From this position, Goodwick is within walking distance and Fishguard is a short drive away. The train station at Goodwick is a short walk down the hill and offers excellent transport links to Cardiff and London. The county town of Haverfordwest is also within easy reach of the property.
This unique property is a rare example of a bold and exciting design being met by a truly impressive delivery in build. Ty’r Arfordir lives up to all the promise of the early architect sketches and offers something more to a buyer: it offers a welcoming and practical family home.
