For Sale: The Lookout – An Architectural Marvel in St Dogmaels with Historical Annexe and Local Charm
Overview: Presenting "The Lookout, " a remarkable estuary-view property estate complemented by over 8 acres of versatile land. Built between 2018 and 2019 by esteemed local developer Matthew Greenland, this estate not only captures the essence of luxury rural living but also embraces the community-centric charm of St Dogmaels.
Property Highlights:
· Unique Architectural Heritage: The Lookout and its two neighbouring properties epitomize high-end bespoke living. The included annexe, "The Old Sty, " is a converted derelict farm building that served as the developer’s residence during construction and is now a luxurious supplement to the main house, adhering to its restricted planning consent for accommodation.
· Eco-Friendly and Modern Design: This property features a main house with 5 en-suite bedrooms and an eco-friendly sedum roof. Enhancements include panoramic floor-to-ceiling glass windows, state-of-the-art security, a custom gym, and a large agricultural barn.
· Self-Sustaining Land with Agricultural Benefits: The surrounding land offers potential income from organic hay, with minimal maintenance required, offering both practical and picturesque value.
· Equestrian Opportunities: The attractive land also comes with potential for stables amidst the Agricultural Barn.
· Innovative Design Elements: The lower ground floor is ingeniously set into the hillside, featuring a 'secret' reception room that promises both privacy and exclusivity. Panoramic floor-to-ceiling glass windows throughout the home ensure the estuary view is always within sight.
· Enhanced Security and Amenities: Recent upgrades include dual electric gates, a bespoke boot room, state-of-the-art CCTV, a new alarm system, and comprehensive landscaping. Additional facilities include a modern gym and a spacious 60'x40' agricultural barn equipped with an electric door, suitable for garaging or equestrian use.
· Luxurious Annexe/Multi Family Accommodation: A beautifully appointed 3-bedroom annexe offers flexibility for multi-generational living, an Airbnb venture, or as opulent guest accommodation. Furniture options are available through separate negotiation, allowing for a tailored move-in experience.
Local Attractions and Community Life:
· Vibrant Coastal Community: St Dogmaels is a thriving tourist destination known for its historical sites and robust local gastronomy. Within walking distance are two significant pubs; "The Ferry, " an award-winning gastropub, and "The White Hart, " community-owned and operated, reflecting the village’s spirited local engagement. Within walking distance to Poppit Sands Beach.
· Culinary and Historical Richness: The village boasts Y Felin, a historic working mill selling organic flour near the ancient St Dogmaels Abbey ruins. Local fresh seafood is readily available from community-famed fisherman Len Walters, enhancing the area's appeal as a 'foodie' destination.
· National Park Location: Set within a National Park, this property promises unrivalled views and an unrepeatable setting that shifts beautifully with the seasons, making it a treasure for nature and tranquillity lovers.
Special Mention: The current owners, who are selling to relocate closer to family, have cherished their time in this idyllic setting. Their experience underscores the property’s capability to provide a serene and fulfilling lifestyle.
Invitation to View: "The Lookout" is a testament to architectural beauty, community spirit, and the peaceful Welsh lifestyle. We invite you to schedule a viewing to fully appreciate what this exceptional property has to offer. This opportunity to own a piece of St Dogmaels’ enchanting landscape and vibrant community life is truly a rare offering.
