A stunningly positioned Riverside Georgian Manor Estate.
Description
Boulston Manor is a hidden gem in this unspoilt part of Pembrokeshire and enjoys one of the best country house views in Wales. The manor house is grade II listed and according to Cadw listing it is a 'Gentry house built by Major Dudley Acland in 1797. He bought the Boulston Manor estate from Admiral Sir Charles Cotton, and as the old manor house of the Wogan family by the water was derelict decided to build on a new site. Occupied by Kenneth Walker 1926.' It is listed 'as a substantial late Georgian country house prominently facing over the waterway.'
The property has been sympathetically renovated and refurbished over the years while retaining all of its original character features. The current owners have transformed the manor into a romantic retreat for others to enjoy with a boutique bed and breakfast business and wedding venue. Weddings can be held at a local church. In the recent past Boulston Manor has had a licence for weddings and civil partnerships. This business is there for new owners to take on and run or simply use the property purely as a private home. The property also offers an income stream from the letting of four additional cottages and has scope to increase this further by converting the courtyard of stone barns into further cottages. There is also a large old farmyard with a range of more modern outbuildings that offer potential to adapt into further commercial enterprises. All of this is set in an idyllic location with pretty woodland, pastureland and magical parkland that gently runs down to the river.
Accommodation Boulston Manor Ground Floor
The welcoming entrance porch leads into the large reception hall with a brick fireplace with tiered mantelpiece and wood burning stove providing a warm focal point. Here you will find first glimpses of the stunning river views through the arched sash window. A door leads off the hall to a cosy office/snug room with another wood burning stove. A second door opens into the grand drawing room with an impressive Minster stone fireplace with mantelpiece and French doors opening out onto the sun terrace and river views. An inner hall leads off from the reception hall to the rest of the ground floor accommodation and cellars. Turning to the left leads you to a useful self-contained ground floor apartment that has its own access to outside. This could be used for multi-generational living or holiday letting but would also be useful for friends and family and comprises a well fitted out kitchen living area with an electric Aga, large bedroom with an en suite bathroom. Continuing straight on in the inner hall takes you to the rear of the house. Here lies the kitchen/ breakfast room that has been carefully designed by the current owners to include bespoke fitted units, integrated appliances and an impressive central island, an electric Everhot range, wood burning stove set in stone fireplace surround, views to the river and French doors to the garden. Adjacent to the kitchen is the elegant dining room with an oil fired Aga and parquet floor that is also used for guest dining with views out onto the side garden. At the end of the hall is the boot room and utility room. Internal stairs lead off the inner hall to the vast cellar that is currently used for storage, housing the oil and biomass boilers and pressurised hot water cylinders. There is also a second staircase to the first floor.

Location
Boulston Manor is situated in a stunning peninsula position overlooking the Western Cleddau river in the famous Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.
The river is a rich habitat for nature while also providing a recreational area for those that enjoy the water. The river joins the Eastern Cleddau and forms the Daugleddau estuary that meanders down to the Milford Haven natural harbour and out to the Irish Sea.
The main county town of Haverfordwest is only three miles to the north offering excellent shopping amenities, hospital and travel services via rail, road and air.
Being located in the centre of Pembrokeshire offers an excellent location to explore and enjoy the breath-taking coastline, award winning Blue flag beaches and miles of scenic coastal walks.
Ferry services to Ireland are also available at Pembroke Dock (about 13 miles to the south) and Fishguard (about 18 miles to the north). The A40 provides quick road access to Carmarthen and the A48 M4 link road (about 31 miles to the east) taking you onto Swansea, (about 58 miles), Cardiff (about 100 miles) the Severn Bridge and beyond.
