You could own a Welsh castle on the coast but it is probably not what you expect
Meander along the scenic waterside driveway to a gated entrance and, as the first introduction to this unique home called The Hall, you already know you're visiting something special that begins with being greeted by a surprising castellated façade on a house that is centuries old.
But before stepping inside this incredible castle, the 17 acres of beautiful grounds will effortlessly entice you to explore and enjoy. On the seaward side, the house is flanked by enchanting woodland, dotted with mature rhododendrons, wildflowers, and shrubbery, complemented by picturesque formal lawns and ample parking spaces.
At the back of the property lies an exquisite walled garden brimming with fresh fruit and vegetables, meticulously tended to by the current owners. For more property stories sent to your inbox twice a week sign up to the property newsletter here

Adjacent to the walled garden is another standout feature of the property: a large stone stable block offering significant development potential, subject to planning. Given its proximity to Milford Haven Waterway, it's no surprise that the property also features a boathouse with direct access to the bay's tidal waters.
The Hall began its life as a farmhouse. However, over the centuries, it has evolved into what is arguably one of the most unique and captivating mansions in Wales, drawing the attention of numerous individuals and organisations.
The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales describes The Hall as a 'large house with extraordinary mixture of styles, pseudo-medieval rear, crenellated front with Victorian conservatory. Much altered but retains an early core'.
The castellations, as well as many other features, are said to have been added by Lt Col Richard Walter Byrd Mirehouse who served in South Africa and came back with architectural ideas that we can still see around the house and throughout Angle village today.
The accommodation is so remarkable that during the Second World War, The Hall was requisitioned by the Canadian Airforce to accommodate their forces from the nearby airfield. Arguably surprisingly The Hall is not listed which, according to the agent, presents vast opportunities for a buyer looking to capitalise on this space for a boutique hotel, wedding venue, or even an educational institution as well as a stunning coastal home.
Owned by the same family for nearly 300 years, the much-loved house has been the setting for making family memories through multiple generations.
Inside, the sprawling accommodation includes three large formal reception rooms over the ground and first floor, with those on the upper level enjoying views of the water through the trees.
There are a range of other reception spaces, snugs, and offices throughout the ground floor as well as a vast kitchen diner and several large storage rooms and utility spaces - there is oodles of potential to make the versatile spaces work for the next owner's lifestyle and accommodation needs.
There are additional indoor outdoor spaces too, confirming that this house is without doubt a unique proposition, including a stunning double height conservatory which houses mature specimen plants and at the heart of the building is a central courtyard which acts as a hub for the property that encircles it.
Tucked away in a tranquil corner of Pembrokeshire near the village of Angle, The Hall enjoys a private and serene coastal setting overlooking East Angle Bay. The location within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park on a peninsula is peaceful and secluded, away from the county's busiest sea view areas and yet is conveniently close to all of the area's Blue Flag and National Trust beaches - some of the best in the UK.
The Hall is for sale with a guide price of £1.5m with Country Living Group, call 01437 616101 to find out more.
