Full Details for 7 Bedroom Detached for sale in Haverfordwest, SA62 :

A truly majestic 6/7 bedroomed, Grade II listed property in the very heart of the beautiful small city of St. David's, in Pembrokeshire, surrounded by some of the finest coastline in Europe.
A quote taken from The Footsteps of our Fathers by Peter B.S. Davies reads:
\"Menai was built during the late 1840s and was used as a shop by Ebenezer Williams, the druggist. Later it became a small private school, and in 1887 became The Cross House Hotel with guests that included bishops, lecturers and professors, men in industry and commerce, naval officers and gentlefolk, taking its name from the ancient market cross in the square. \"
In Pevsner, The Buildings of Wales – Pembrokeshire, Menai is described as \"The best house in town\".
The current owners thoughtfully restored and renovated the house and garden cottage over the past 40 years, and have enjoyed raising their family in this warm and welcoming home.
Future use in such a central location could include commercial applications such as a boutique B&B, restaurant spilling out to the beautiful rear patios/walkways and walled gardens or possibly the sale of the rear gardens for future \"in-fill\" development.
The city of St Davids is situated on the far south west coast of Wales. Granted city status by Queen Elizabeth II because of the presence of the cathedral, St Davids is in reality a small attractive village with all the necessary amenities: food shops, doctor, chemist, dentist, hotels, boutiques, art galleries, excellent pubs and fine restaurants. Situated within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, St Davids is surrounded by spectacular coastal scenery renowned for its beauty and abundance of wildlife.   A thriving community, St Davids has a diverse range of groups and activities run for and by local residents, creating a vibrant city with a sense of belonging.
St Davids Cathedral has been the dominant presence since the 12th century and was a popular pilgrimage destination throughout the Middle Ages and indeed remains so to this day. Adjacent to the cathedral stand the magnificent ruins of the medieval Bishops Palace.
Whitesands Bay, one of the many beautiful beaches in the area, carries the prestigious European Blue Flag Award.


THE HOUSE:
Redolent with original Victorian features, the house has many solid mahogany doors with brass hardware and locks, as well as mahogany skirting boards. It benefits from secondary glazing to the front. Working wooden shutters surround many of the windows and decorative coving is present in most rooms. Several new wooden doors have been required over the years and were custom made by the prestigious local joiners, James Ratford Bridge and Robel.

Featuring lovely Grade ll listed railings and gate, and accessed off the main square, the house is graciously set back from the road by a pretty courtyard garden. A pedimented Doric door case invites you to enter via the original Mahogany door with glass inset above, which features a beautiful old lock.
