The farmhouse that comes with six pretty stone cottages, incredible sea views, a sauna and hot tub

Peace and quiet, sea views and private walks to the beach sound idyllic to so many potential buyers looking to buy a property by the sea.

Add literally a hamlet of houses and potential to expand further to the property package and it means that space is another home-hunter's box ticked for ideal features of a new home.

There are six acres of paddocks too that stretch out towards the sea.

This is a property bundle that might blow the budget but can accommodate a huge family or someone desperate for an escape to the coast but with an established business attached to the family home.

Called Cwm Connell, this four bedroom former farmhouse is nestled within the heart of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park between Newport and Cardigan and between the stunning coast and beautiful countryside.

This glorious location provides walks down to the unspoilt beach of Ceibwr Bay, a pebbly cove and a Site of Scientific Interest owned by the National Trust.

Currently six cute cottages and a studio form part of this mini hamlet (Fine & Country Narberth / Fine & Country West Wales / The Media Straw)

Newport Sands beach and Poppit Sands are easy to pop-over to, St Dogmaels and Cardigan are very close and for anyone wanting a change of scenery from the coast, the pretty village of Moylgrove is just a stroll away down some quiet country lanes.

No surprise to discover then that the Pembrokeshire former farm buildings at the site have been converted in the past and have been welcoming holidaymakers for the last 30 years.

It's a big property proposition with planning in place to convert even more buildings to add them to the holiday let family.

Each cottage has its own outdoor space (Fine & Country Narberth / Fine & Country West Wales / The Media Straw)

Starting with the main family home, this substantial four bedroom property oozes character that includes an Aga in the farmhouse kitchen diner and an inglenook fireplace housing a log burner plus exposed stone and a massive wood beam mantle.

The farmhouse has a living room, formal dining room, conservatory, boot and shower room plus a large office; very handy as a base for running the holiday business.

Upstairs there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Outside, the complex of pretty stone cottages look very inviting. There are currently six to choose from.

All have their own private little garden with big views and a charming patio or deck area to enjoy alfresco dining.

Inside, all the properties have pretty, cottage-style interior design and charming period features you would expect from a hamlet of farm buildings in a remote part of the countryside.

These rural retreats have a combination of period features that bring the cottage feel to each property, including exposed beams, exposed stone walls and white-washed walls.

Most have log-burners and a choice of classic country-style furniture including the occasional Welsh dresser.

All use an accent colour palette based on nature through the seasons and the mesmerising rural and sea views outside, from earthy shades and dark greens to sea blue.

In total the site has one 3-bed cottage, four 2-bed cottages, one 1-bed cottage and a cute studio cottage.

According to the estate agent selling the property the site has an additional two buildings that could still be converted into the latest additions to this happy hamlet.

One is a large barn that currently has planning approval from the local authorities for a 16 bedroom 'bunk house' conversion.

The other property hoping to be the subject of a renovation project is a cute stone building that could become the latest addition to the cottage clan.

The current owners have developed the site over the years to offer a large guest car park, a laundry room, a library and a games room.

The most recent addition is a large hot tub with large views over the countryside from the bubbles.

There's even a sauna and shower within this woodland inspired mini on-site spa.

If any of the guests do fancy a stroll off-site, there are woodland walks and stream-side strolls to discover, as well as easy drives to all the stunning locations of nature, history, shopping, and eating and drinking that the county can offer.
