Summary

Traveling up the winding drive to Hazel Grove, you get a feel for the remarkable position that this home occupies. Built in the late 1800s the five bedroom property enjoys a level of privacy and seclusion rare even in this pristine part of rural Pembrokeshire. As its name suggests Hazel Grove sits in a clearing surrounded by ancient trees. This impressive property offers five bedrooms and four reception rooms over two floors. In addition to the approximately twelve acres of woodland it enjoys a sheltered walled garden, numerous shed, workshop and stable blocks and the ruins of a separate cottage in its grounds. This idyllic rural seclusion masks its very convenient position with the A40 that leads to Fishguard and Haverfordwest within a few minutes’ drive of the property.

Windows form the walls of the porch, with a polycarbonate roof above, quarry tiling finishes the floor of the space.

At the rear of the hall, you find the wooden staircase to the first floor in front of you with doors to the study and boot room to the left of it and the kitchen/diner to the right. A good sized cupboard is found under the stairs.

Sitting Room
This large room has a window to the front of the property and a fireplace, which until recently, housed a wood burning stove. While in need of some further renovation work, this space would make for a lovely entertaining space. Like the majority of the rooms in the home this space has working sash windows with original, working, shutters to each side. This is a charming feature that runs through the property and injects both character and warmth into the home.

The room is heated by underfloor heating which extends to the kitchen and utility room off it.

Boot / Storage Room
Accessed off the hallway and positioned between the sitting room and office is this handy compact room which is currently used as a storage/boot room. While it has relatively modest proportions it has a window offering a lovely view down the drive so could even serves as a small office or workroom if needed.

Home Office / Ground Floor Bedroom
Next to the boot room you find a good sized reception room with a window looking out to the rear of the property.

The room has two windows to the rear, a door to the back garden and can be accessed from both the hallway and the conservatory.

External
The ancient woodland that borders the long private driveway leading up to Hazel Grove makes for a fitting introduction to the property. In addition to the gardens that surround the home are approximately twelve acres of woodland of a mixture of deciduous and conifers. The woodland surrounds the property and flanks the driveway up to the iron gates at the end of the driveway. In the clearing of woodland that the property sits in a large lawned front garden, with a timber stables and large workshop/garage to the side of the property. Several mature trees, including an ancient apple tree, are planted in the gardens around the home.

To the eastern side of the property is a lovely walled garden, this space is planted with a range of mature trees and shrubs and provides a wonderful sheltered space to entertain. The walls also have doorways out into the woodland that encircles the house and gardens.

Just outside the walls of the gardens you find the ruins of Nolton’s Cottage, originally thought to be a gardeners or worker’s cottage the structure provides a historic habitable footprint that could provide an interesting base for development, subject to any relevant planning. There are two footpaths that lead away from the property offering immediate access to hours of walks through woodland and pasture right from your front door. These paths can take you along this ancient valley and up onto the rock formations that are so famous in the local area. In combination with the woodlands owned by Hazel Grove these paths provide hours of peaceful wandering around the property.
