If all night parties, sports evenings watching the match, star-gazing in a hot tub sounds like fun, this house can totally deliver
Party central in a small Pembrokeshire village(Image: Country Living Group / Drew Buckley)
Tucked away in a small village is this substantial home where socialising and partying is the core of the bespoke design – and once the party is over it’s probably a challenge for the current owners to get guests to leave.
Fifteen years ago the owners thought about how they wanted their new dream home to function and connected spaces and a place to entertain were clearly one of the main priorities because hiding inside is a very inviting party room, especially if you support the current Premier League champions.
But it’s not all about fun times in shared spaces, the agent states that this house in the Pembrokeshire village of Freystrop is practical too, not only easy to clean and maintain but packed with features for maximum energy efficiency.

The list of impressive additions to the home includes insulation levels that exceed standard requirements by more than double in numerous areas, commercial-specification underfloor heating, a heat recovery system, and solid construction throughout both floors and walls.
But back to the selling points a potential buyer can see and the substantial open-plan lounge kitchen diner that flows into a sun room is the heart of the home, including a central statement log burner that ensures this sizable area is cosy too.
Ceilings soar to nearly three metres, establishing a magnificent sense of proportion, whilst multiple windows and doors provide access to the garden.
The double-height garden room is a special spot to watch wildlife in the garden but it can benefit from the log burner too because it, rotates to wherever you want it to face – that’s clever – and your feet will stay toasty too because there’s underfloor heating throughout.
The custom-built kitchen was expertly crafted by local master carpenters Ratford Bridge and incorporates a selection of high-end appliances from Neff and Fisher & Paykel.
Off this inviting space is the party room and it is surely a well visited place to entertain with a bar in the corner, pool table, darts, and a media corner where watching Liverpool FC win more trophies is clearly a joy.
Imagine all the incredible experiences and party times that this room has hosted, and it’s surely where guests migrate towards after a shared meal in the adjacent kitchen diner.
Maybe it’s not quite as memorable as watching the match in a packed pub in Liverpool surrounded by fellow mighty red supporters, but surely it’s close, plus the drinks are free-flowing from the built-in bar, you can easily find a seat and there’s no queue for the ladies toilet either with a choice of two facilities on the ground floor of this dream home.
The agent adds that bedrooms and reception areas benefit from hardwired ethernet and television connections, rendering the property ideally equipped for contemporary living and watching your favourite movie in bed if you can’t be bothered to wander down to the party room.
Climbing the bespoke cantilevered oak and glass staircase to the first floor, you’re greeted by the abundance of natural light cascading down from the roof windows as well as space on the landing for a work station.
Leading off the landing are four double bedrooms, each boasting an ensuite shower room. Every bathroom within the property is exquisitely finished with Porcelanosa tiles, and incorporates contemporary walk-in, floor-level showers.
The principal suite stands out in particular, with the substantial bedroom connecting to an ample dressing room and a striking ensuite bathroom that oozes luxury including a freestanding bath with a ceiling-mounted filling spout.
The uppermost level offers two substantial attic rooms providing excellent storage capacity thanks to attic trusses that optimise usable space. The attic accommodates the air recovery system, which operates throughout the property, alongside the controls for the roof-mounted solar water heating panels.
These installations, combined with the outstanding insulation, help maintain running costs at a minimum and guarantee a warm, dry property throughout the year. Outside, the property provides generous parking at the front and a private, sun-drenched rear garden featuring superb entertaining areas and a hot tub set into the decking.
Adjoining the house is a surprise self-contained one-bedroom annexe that at first glance looks as though it is part of the house but offers the perfect pad for another generational level of the family. Presently occupied by the owners’ son, this accommodation is perfect for extended family members or it could even generate income as a holiday rental, if planning allows.
The annexe benefits from its own outdoor seating space leading into a spacious open-plan living area, with a utility room and shower room at the back and a double bedroom upstairs.
The party can easily spill out into the rear garden if the weather allows, where there’s a hot tub to tempt a visit and a sizable wraparound deck for relaxing and soaking up the sun or star gazing, with a drink of choice served from the party room bar.
Nestled into the Pembrokeshire landscape within a private development in the village of Freystrop, and surrounded by stunning countryside, there’s plenty to explore and with the county’s towns, villages, and internationally acclaimed coastline easily accessible too, the house is well-positioned to enjoy it all – if an owner can ever drag themselves away from maybe one of Wales’ best party rooms.
The energy-efficient house with the party rooms you won’t want to leave is on the market with a guide price of £750,000. Contact Country Living Group on 01437 616101 to find out more.
