Property Description
Pembrokeshire Properties are very pleased to offer to the market perhaps one of the most historic residential properties in Pembroke, with the exception of the castle.
This Grade 2 * listed stone cottage is in a prime location, directly opposite Pembroke castle with views of the same .It is clear from the outside of the property and its architecture that this dates back to medieval times and many historic features remain within the home ,which is all part of its charm and certainly a testament to the longevity of buildings of that era .
The name Flemish cottage is as a result of the Flemish Chimney to the open plan fire in the living room, this is also what has attributed to the *star rating attached to the grade two listing as there are only very few still in existence.
Don’t be fooled by the outside of this property either as it extends way back providing three large double bedrooms to the first floor, a bathroom, kitchen and vast quirky open plan living to the ground floor and perhaps the most intriguing part of the property a Dungeon /cellar with a window at lower ground level.
A few steps from the pavement leads to the entrance of the property and although there is no parking at the property itself because of its central location, there is parking available close by. It also benefits from an exceptionally long rear garden enjoying views over the town and countryside beyond.
The reception room is open plan with exposed oak beams and a new sumptuous, fitted carpet. The room extends towards both the front windows creating some cosy areas that overlook the castle and mill pond. To the rear of the room is another smaller space that houses the open fire and Flemish chimney. Leading from the back of this room is a hallway from which the lower-level vaulted Chamber/Dungeon/ Cellar is accessed. This unusual room could have so many uses that would certainly be unique.
The family bathroom is farther along the corridor and at the very rear, the kitchen diner opens onto the rear patio and garden through French doors.
The ceiling in the kitchen has Velux windows and exposed beams, Victorian Terracotta floor tiles retain the period feel and the cabinets are a cream shaker style. The space nearest the doors has more than enough space for table and chairs.
Entering outside the area immediately behind the property is laid to slab pavers and low wall seating area where two small steps lead onto the lawned gardens that extend and narrow as far as the roadway beyond
Moving up the central staircase in the living area, there are three generous double bedrooms all tastefully decorated with their own individual features in Bedroom 1 which has the upstairs fireplace, the floorboards have been stripped and waxed. In bedroom 2 the wall has been panelled and painted. The third bedroom has an inbuilt closet, these two rooms have been recently carpeted.
This is certainly one of the most unusual and historic properties in a town where recent development of the castle and newly constructed museum have increased tourism. However, the way in which it has been decorated has combined contemporary living behind the historical façade. Little bespoke touches combined with original features have made this an alluring, welcoming and homely space with the added benefit of a garden in the heart of the town.
Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the size, history and location of this desirable piece of history.
