The curved ultra modern dream home on the Pembrokeshire estuary that's packed with gadgets

This modern home might look more Hollywood Hills than Wales but the property's name is truly a reflection of how this family home is used and loved; it's called The Cwtch.

But don't be mistaken by the image of a cosy and cute cottage that this 'huggable' name induces - this property is a contemporary and spacious dream home.

The location is a bit of a dream too, especially for lovers of water, with the house at the end of a secluded lane that runs right down to the edge of the Cleddau Estuary.

The popular village of Hook is nearby and the home is surrounded on all sides by opportunities to enjoy outdoor activities, whether on land or in the water.

Not that a new owner will be tempted to leave their very special home.

Built in 2012, The Cwtch is a five bedroom, three bathroom Pembrokeshire home that is brimming with technology and 'future-proof' design details.

The construction itself used the latest and most energy efficient materials and building techniques and inside the specification is high enough to impress any Hollywood resident.

Among the gadgets are a centrally-controlled alarm and heating system, including underfloor heating, and ceiling-mounted Sonos speakers - there are even in-built speakers in the ensuite, where there is also a rainforest shower head.

Wiring is in place for solar panels should a new owner want to install them.

The staircase is handcrafted from oak and the kitchen is from designer Lawrence Lyons.

The use of glass throughout the home via intriguing accent windows, as well as huge picture windows and triple folding doors in the lounge, ensure it's flooded in light.

The lounge is arguably one of the stand out rooms, with its intriguing curved wall that provides a changing view of the garden as you travel along the bend.

It could have been so easy to have just built a standard, rectangular box-shaped home but this curved room ensures that this house is truly unique.

The curve of the lounge is mimicked in the hallway, with a smooth curve wall flowing towards the study.

Another clever design feature is the use of wide double doorways rather than a totally open-plan living space.

This results in separate zoned spaces that are still connected, the lounge to the kitchen and the kitchen to the snug, but have their own designated functions.

Light and sound and even people can easily flow from space to space and enjoy this very sociable living area.

And for anyone craving a more intimate and separate space, the study on the far side of the ground floor provides a large and versatile room.

This room could easily be an office, playroom or even another bedroom, with a shower room next door that could easily become this guest bedroom's ensuite.

Also on this ground floor is a utility room and two store rooms.

There is parking on the private driveway for many cars and planning consent has been secured for the construction of a double garage.

Upstairs there are five double bedrooms, with the master enjoying an ensuite and also a glass balcony that overlooks the garden and has views to the estuary beyond.

When not strolling down to the banks of the estuary, a new owner can enjoy relaxing in the secluded garden that has a patio area - curved, of course - low maintenance lawn, BBQ area, outside power and lighting and a handy summer house in the corner.

Sounds like the perfect party pad, both inside and out, both in California and Pembrokeshire.

The Cwtch is for sale with estate agent fbm for £569,950, give their Haverfordwest branch a call on 01437 762233 to find out more.
