Amroth, Pembrokeshire
Property Summary
Full Details
Vendor Interview
Merrifield has been in the family since 1953 and without doubt is a most unequaled cliff top property. Perched above Amroth bay Merrifield looks toward the nearby harbour of Saundersfoot and Tenby onto a stunning backdrop of Caldey Island. During my time at the property I have enjoyed many afternoon cream teas, soaking up the sun on the sunken deck, gazing toward the golden sands of Gower Peninsula and the coastline of Devon on a clear day.

Grounds
Merrifields lies “hidden” from the main coast road that runs through the seaside village of Amroth. Upon entering the grounds from the main public highway, the most stunning views over Amroth beach and the surrounding coastline nearby seaside resorts has a dramatic impact upon arrival. The established grounds are mainly laid lawn bordered by mature hedging that offers complete privacy. To the north/eastern aspect is a delightful summerhouse boasting breath taking sea and coastal views from the feature length double glazed sliding patio doors to fore. Positioned around the glorious grounds are several seating/relaxation areas; these all offer a different outlook from this most unique vantage point. To the seaward aspect of the entire property is a paved terrace ideal for dining alfresco style. This leads to the far south western aspect of the grounds where a most impressive pergola sits festooned with clementis and wisteria. From the main grounds several steps lead to a most appealing “sunken” deck area—this would make a fabulous location for a “jacuzzi/hottub”. Screened by mature tree/shrub planting, a totally private “spot” arguably unequalled along this section of coastline. To the rear of the deck is a further “outhouse” with power and lighting providing potential for outside bar/entertainment hideaway.
