Stunning country home hiding near one of Wales' favourite towns with a bonus in the garden
A handsome home boasting Victorian grandeur and splendour with timeless and tasteful interiors hiding near a popular Welsh town is waiting to impress you - and it will.
Constructed in 1856 and recently renovated with careful thought, with the emphasis on preserving the period features from the past but updating the spaces also to provide a comfortable home for the present and future, Greenway House stands proudly on the outskirts of the bustling market town of Narberth.
But the house is not the only place to call home at this peaceful, wooded site, because the property also offers a beautiful second dwelling attached to it at the rear called Greenway Lodge. For more property stories sent to your inbox twice a week sign up to the property newsletter here

Offering flexibility for multi-generational living or as a generously spacious family home, these magnificent Victorian residences sit within just under an acre of private grounds, blending historical charm and character with luxurious contemporary living.
Accessed via a private driveway that diverges towards Greenway House and Greenway Lodge, these homes are brimming with historical allure, boasting original design features throughout.
A comprehensive refurbishment was carried out approximately ten years ago, resulting in a striking period property equipped with modern luxuries.
The location of this pair of pretty properties is special too, hidden away on the edge of Narberth, a bustling market town in east Pembrokeshire, frequently features in the Sunday Times' best places to live guide.
It offers a variety of independent shops, pubs, medical facilities, cafes, hairdressers and barbers, antique shops, restaurants, a library, and social clubs, all housed within colourful Edwardian and Georgian buildings.
Excellent road and rail links are available, with a train station just a short walk away, making travel to further destinations easy.
With Tenby, Saundersfoot, and Amroth nearby, and regular direct services to Paddington, it's well connected to Haverfordwest, Tenby, Cardigan, and Carmarthen.
Dan Thomas from Luxury Welsh Homes says: "Greenway House with Greenway Lodge is a beautiful duo of homes ready for new occupants to move straight in without the need to change a thing, but for those looking to create a substantial family home in a wonderful town like Narberth there is great scope to utilise some, if not all, of Greenway Lodge to create an even bigger family home.
"While as it stands it offers a great opportunity for those seeking properties for multi-generational living, or perhaps for a rental income from holiday rentals.
"It is clear that the work carried out ten years ago was done without compromise and gives the new custodians of this fantastic home a great platform to start from and put their stamp on and as quite surprisingly it is not yet listed any changes new owners may want to make will not be subject to the same complications one would find with similar listed properties."
Greenway House with Greenway Lodge are on the market with Luxury Welsh Homes for £1.25m, call to find out more. For more property stories join our Amazing Welsh Homes Facebook group here.

'I visited the UK's 'worst' seaside town - but the title is misleading'
The Welsh cathedral city has been dubbed one of the "worst seaside towns" but one YouTuber who visited was won over by one thing A Welsh cathedral city branded one of the "worst seaside towns" has charmed a YouTuber with its unique appeal. Despite its modest population of around 16,000, Bangor in Gwynedd didn't rate highly for its food, drink establishments, shopping options or tourist spots. The city faced criticism for lacklustre beaches and questionable value for money. The BBC shared that some dubbed Bangor "drab" and "run down". Yet, locals defended their home, claiming that Bangor isn't traditionally viewed as a coastal destination like Llandudno or Rhyl. Bangor boasts historical landmarks such as its sixth-century cathedral, the Victorian-era university building, an iconic pier, and Penrhyn Castle. Wendall, a travel content creator on YouTube, was captivated by the city's charm. Strategically positioned a stone's throw from the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, Bangor enjoys close proximity to stunning natural scenery. Its Pier stretches invitingly into the Menai Strait, offering views towards Anglesey and the scenic town of Beaumaris, reports Wales Online. During a jaunt to the city's bay, YouTuber Wendall was pleasantly surprised: "Before I came to this small city that has been given the title of the worst seaside town in Britain, I expected far worse than this, look at this idyllic setting. I'm starting to think this might be a little bit of tabloid sensationalism, even more so than other places I've been." Wendall described the scene: "This is quite idyllic, the tide is out at the moment so you have a bit of seaweed and stuff but it's peaceful and quiet. There's new buildings and pathways and stuff for people to walk." Having visited numerous seaside towns, Wendall observed that Bangor was indeed quiet and subdued, but not rough around the edges, at least not in the town centre and near the waterfront. He said: "It's been termed the worst seaside town and I immediately think of it like a dying holiday resort, but this isn't actually a holiday resort, it's a town by the water but it's not got all the arcades, all the empty holiday parks, I think that title is misleading." Wendall also explored the renowned Garth Pier, which stretches 1,500 feet (460m) in length, ranking it as the second-longest pier in Wales and ninth-longest in Britain. The YouTuber praised its beauty, saying, "This is beautiful." Fellow YouTuber Ed Chapman shared a similar sentiment about the pier. In a video on his own channel, Ed remarked: "Now, this looks beautiful that we're heading towards here. Sun's starting to set now, getting to golden hour, and we're heading onto the pier, which does look beautiful. It looks a little bit more sort of traditionally seaside-y." Gazing out over the water from the pier, Ed added that the view was "impressive" and "glorious" before dubbing the pier "lovely". Later in the video, he expressed his admiration for the university, calling it a "nice" building and "very sort of Hogwarts". Ed was left "very surprised" by the city and said Bangor, in his opinion, wasn't the UK's worst seaside town and "pretty underrated". After the survey results were announced, Bangor City Council hit out at the poll. A council spokesperson responded: "It's disappointing to see Bangor City named as one of the UK's worst seaside towns. Such rankings often fail to capture the full picture and the unique charms that make Bangor City so special." The council highlighted local gems like the Storiel Gallery and Museum, Pontio Arts Centre, and the city's cathedral. Defenders of the city also weighed in on YouTube. One commenter asserted: "I'm Bangor born and bred. We are NOT a 'seaside town' and have never been one." Another clarified: "We are a very small university city beside the sea. We are not geared up to be a seaside town - that's places like Llandudno and Rhyl. We've never had a sandy beach and they are shoring up the sea defences down there atm [at the moment], which is a massive job. Bangor is the gateway to the mountains."
