Contemporary house with garden Tenby (United Kingdom)
A Remarkable Architectural Home Created Around Nature Architect-designed contemporary residence by Argent Architects • Approximately four acres of private grounds • Three bedrooms • Engineered glulam post-and-beam construction • Standing-seam zinc roof and cladding • High-performance insulated envelope • Aluminium/timber composite glazing • Two elevated balconies • Two substantial garages • Dedicated workspace • Separate lodge/store • Wildlife pond • Exceptional privacy There are homes that are renovated, and then there are those that are completely reimagined. When the current owners discovered Millpark, an entirely different bungalow occupied this wonderfully secluded setting. Recognising the potential of the land, they made the bold decision to demolish the original dwelling and begin again, commissioning renowned Pembrokeshire practice Argent Architects to create a home designed specifically around its surroundings. The result is a striking three-bedroom contemporary residence, elevated above approximately four acres of private grounds and thoughtfully positioned to maximise natural light, privacy and its exceptional connection with the surrounding landscape. Built around an engineered glulam post-and-beam frame, with a high-performance insulated envelope, standing-seam zinc roof and cladding, and aluminium/timber composite glazing, the house combines bold contemporary architecture with outstanding energy efficiency, durability and low-maintenance modern living. Yet it is the relationship with nature that makes Millpark truly special. Generous glazing draws the outside in, while two elevated balconies provide wonderful places to sit and admire the surrounding countryside. Morning coffee as the sun rises, long summer evenings overlooking the grounds, or simply watching the seasons unfold—the landscape becomes an integral part of everyday life. Within the grounds are two ponds, including a beautiful wildlife pond that has become a thriving natural habitat. During my own visit, one of the most memorable sights was the extraordinary dragonflies—amongst the largest I have ever seen—gliding effortlessly across the water’s surface. It is a small detail, perhaps, but one that perfectly captures the tranquillity, biodiversity and sense of seclusion that define this remarkable setting. The grounds themselves encourage a slower pace of life. Mature trees, open lawns and natural planting create an ever-changing backdrop throughout the seasons, attracting an abundance of wildlife while offering complete privacy. It is a setting that feels both beautifully landscaped and wonderfully wild, allowing nature to flourish around the home. The elevated design also creates exceptional practicality beneath the principal accommodation, with two substantial garages and a dedicated workspace. Subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and consents, there may be potential to explore connecting the workspace with the accommodation above, creating further flexibility for those seeking additional living accommodation, a studio or a home office. A separate lodge/store provides valuable ancillary accommodation within the grounds, further enhancing the versatility of the property. Millpark is not simply a bungalow that has been modernised. It is an entirely new home, thoughtfully conceived from the ground up—where contemporary architecture, exceptional craftsmanship and approximately four acres of private Pembrokeshire countryside exist in complete harmony. For those seeking something genuinely individual, Millpark offers a rare combination of architectural distinction, complete privacy, practical versatility and an exceptional connection with nature. A home designed not simply to sit within its landscape, but to embrace it.

Contemporary house with garden Narberth (United Kingdom)
An exceptional architect-designed four-bedroom home where contemporary luxury, renewable technology and the Pembrokeshire coast come together. Some homes simply occupy their setting; Glenwood feels as though it belongs to it. Tucked within the sheltered woodland of Pembrokeshire’s beautiful Pleasant Valley, this striking cedar-clad residence tells a story of complete reinvention. The site was once occupied by a post-war Woolaway bungalow, built in 1966 on land historically belonging to the prestigious Picton Castle Estate. In 2016, the original property was comprehensively transformed into the distinctive contemporary home seen today: an architectural residence created to embrace light, landscape and modern, energy-conscious living. Its glass-led design establishes an immediate connection with the surrounding grounds, while the warmth and texture of the cedar cladding allow the house to settle naturally into its leafy surroundings. Inside, flowing living spaces, carefully considered architectural details and cohesive finishes give the home a strong sense of identity. This is contemporary design with warmth and personality, a home created not merely to make a statement, but to offer an exceptional way of life. A Home Designed Around Light and Landscape Glenwood offers four generously proportioned bedrooms alongside versatile reception and living spaces designed for modern family life and entertaining. Glazing plays an important role throughout the house, drawing natural light deep into the interior and framing changing views of the mature gardens. Carefully considered architectural details, including the beautifully curved wall within the principal bedroom, introduce softness and individuality, while the cohesive use of tiling creates a sense of continuity between the different areas of the home. The principal living space is made particularly inviting by a wood-burning stove, bringing warmth and atmosphere during the cooler months. A separate living area provides valuable flexibility, whether used as a quieter sitting room, television room, home office or informal family space. Although undeniably contemporary, Glenwood never feels stark. Natural materials, woodland views and the relationship between the house and its gardens create a calm and welcoming environment somewhere designed to be lived in and enjoyed throughout every season. Created for a More Sustainable Future Glenwood was designed not only for the way people live today, but with the future firmly in mind. The property benefits from a ground-source heat pump, solar panels and Tesla battery storage, allowing energy generated during the day to be stored for later use. An electric vehicle charging point further complements the home’s renewable credentials, while the wood-burning stove provides an additional source of warmth within the main living area. The property achieved an Energy Performance Certificate rating of Band B before the solar panels and Tesla battery storage were installed, highlighting the efficiency already incorporated within its design. For buyers looking for a luxury contemporary home with reduced reliance on conventional energy sources, Glenwood offers an increasingly rare combination of architectural quality, lifestyle and renewable technology. Approximately 1.36 Acres of Established Grounds The house stands within approximately 1.36 acres of mature, established grounds, creating an impressive sense of privacy and space. The gardens form an attractive natural backdrop to the contemporary architecture, with established planting and surrounding woodland giving the property its wonderfully sheltered atmosphere. The generous plot provides plenty of space for outdoor living, gardening and recreation while retaining a close connection with the wider landscape of Pleasant Valley. There is scope for the grounds to suit a variety of lifestyles, from those seeking peaceful gardens and space for children to explore, to buyers interested in equestrian use or establishing a smallholding. Stables and Equestrian Potential Custom-built stables, constructed in 2010, add another dimension to the property and give Glenwood genuine appeal for those wishing to keep a pony, goats or other smallholding animals at home. Combined with the approximately 1.36-acre plot and direct access to the neighbouring bridleway, the stables create an unusual lifestyle opportunity. It is a property capable of offering the space and freedom associated with country living without the responsibilities of managing a large rural estate. For equestrian buyers, dog walkers and anyone drawn to an active outdoor lifestyle, the setting is particularly special. From the Garden to the Beach One of Glenwood’s most compelling features lies beyond its rear boundary. A private gate opens directly onto the historic bridleway and heritage trail, providing a beautiful traffic-free route through Pleasant Valley towards Wiseman’s Bridge Beach. Whether setting out on horseback, walking the dog, enjoying a family cycle or simply taking an evening stroll, the ability to leave the garden and follow a picturesque woodland route towards the Pembrokeshire coast is an exceptional lifestyle feature. Few homes can offer this balance: a private woodland setting, its own stables, approximately 1.36 acres and direct access to a route leading towards the beach. A Landscape Rich in History Pleasant Valley is more than a picturesque setting; it forms part of a landscape with a fascinating cultural and industrial history. The name Stepaside can be traced back to the 17th century, with local tradition linking it to Oliver Cromwell’s army as it travelled through the area towards Pembroke Castle in 1648. During the 19th century, the valley became an important centre of industry, with the historic Stepaside Ironworks established in 1849. Today, the former industrial route has become a peaceful woodland and heritage trail leading towards Wiseman’s Bridge, allowing residents to experience the area’s history as part of everyday life. Glenwood brings another chapter to that story. From land once associated with the Picton Castle Estate, through its post-war beginnings, to its complete architectural transformation in 2016, this is a property that has continually evolved while remaining deeply connected to its surroundings. Coastal and Country Living in Pembrokeshire The location places Glenwood within easy reach of Wiseman’s Bridge, Saundersfoot and the wider Pembrokeshire coastline, while retaining the peace and privacy of its sheltered woodland setting. Wiseman’s Bridge is known for its beach, coastal scenery and access to the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. The popular seaside village of Saundersfoot offers a harbour, beaches, restaurants, cafés and everyday amenities, with Tenby and the wider attractions of South Pembrokeshire also within convenient reach. This balance makes Glenwood particularly appealing. It offers the atmosphere of a rural retreat, the practical advantages of a substantial four-bedroom family home, facilities for an equestrian or smallholding lifestyle and direct access towards the beach all within one of South West Wales’ most distinctive coastal valleys. Glenwood is not simply a modern house in the countryside. It is a considered fusion of architecture, history and landscape: a piece of Pembrokeshire’s past thoughtfully redefined for luxurious and sustainable modern living.

Contemporary house with pool and garden Haverfordwest (United Kingdom)
What do you think? Johnston Hall, Pembrokeshire Key Features * Exceptional historic country estate believed to date back to the 15th century * Beautifully restored principal residence combining period grandeur with contemporary luxury * Approximately 10 acres of landscaped gardens, grounds and pony paddock * Four beautifully appointed cottages creating an established lifestyle and holiday letting opportunity * Planning permission granted for the conversion of the former coach house into a substantial five-bedroom dwelling * Exciting potential for a boutique wedding and events venue (subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents) * Indoor heated swimming pool with changing rooms and bathroom facilities * Exceptional barn ideal for a classic car collection, motorcycle showroom, artist’s studio or sculpture gallery * Two substantial stores/outbuildings with separate access to the land * Beautiful wildlife pond, mature trees and professionally landscaped gardens * Sixteen solar panels providing improved energy efficiency * Outstanding opportunity for multi-generational living, hospitality, equestrian use or a lifestyle business * Peaceful rural setting within easy reach of the Pembrokeshire coastline ⸻ A Landmark Country Estate Rich in History, Beauty and Opportunity As the gates close behind you and the driveway winds gently through mature trees, everyday life begins to fade into the background. Ahead lies Johnston Hall, an extraordinary country estate where more than five centuries of history have been preserved with remarkable care, creating a home that feels both deeply rooted in its past and perfectly prepared for the future. Set behind a sweeping, tree-lined approach and framed by approximately ten acres of beautifully curated gardens, grounds and pasture, Johnston Hall is one of Pembrokeshire’s finest private estates. Believed to date back to the 15th century, its origins lie within the tradition of the county’s early gentry houses, residences that once stood proudly at the heart of local estates and quietly reflected the rhythm of the surrounding landscape. Over the centuries, the Hall became associated with the wider Kensington Estate, embedding it within a fascinating history where ownership represented not simply possession, but stewardship of both the land and the generations who would follow. Today, that remarkable legacy has been thoughtfully reimagined. The current owners have undertaken an extensive and highly sympathetic renovation that honours the building’s remarkable heritage while introducing a level of finish expected from a distinguished modern country home. Original character has been carefully preserved, period features celebrated and craftsmanship respected throughout, while elegant contemporary interiors ensure the property functions effortlessly for modern family life. Natural light fills the beautifully proportioned rooms, creating interiors that feel calm, balanced and inviting. Every space flows naturally into the next, offering an effortless balance between formal entertaining and relaxed everyday living. There is a quiet confidence throughout the house, where quality is never overstated yet evident in every considered detail. The Grounds Stepping outside, the estate continues to impress. The grounds have been extensively redesigned into a series of beautifully composed outdoor spaces that feel as though they have always belonged. Sweeping lawns merge effortlessly with mature specimen trees, colourful planting and carefully designed borders, while terraces and pathways invite long summer afternoons spent entertaining family and friends or simply enjoying the tranquillity of the surroundings. A beautiful wildlife pond creates a haven for birds and nature, adding movement, reflection and biodiversity to the landscape, while beyond, a pony paddock gently reinforces the property’s connection to country living. Whether accommodating horses, other animals or simply providing open pasture, the land enhances both the lifestyle and versatility of the estate. In total, Johnston Hall extends to approximately ten acres, providing an exceptional degree of privacy without ever feeling isolated. The Outbuildings Practicality has been considered just as carefully as beauty. A separate entrance provides direct access to the land and outbuildings, allowing machinery, livestock or equestrian equipment to be managed independently from the main residence. Two substantial stores provide extensive space for agricultural machinery, workshops or general storage, but one, in particular, offers something far more exciting than simply additional storage. For the classic car collector, vintage vehicle enthusiast or motorcycle enthusiast, it provides the perfect home for a prized collection, where cherished vehicles could be displayed within an impressive private showroom. Equally, it could become the ultimate workshop for restoration projects or specialist engineering. For artists, sculptors and creative makers, the soaring space lends itself beautifully to becoming an inspirational studio and gallery, surrounded by the peace and beauty of the estate. Whether housing a collection, pursuing a passion or operating a creative business from home, it is a space that invites imagination and offers exceptional flexibility. The Estate Lifestyle Adding an entirely different dimension to life at Johnston Hall is the superb indoor swimming pool complex. Beautifully integrated within the estate, the heated swimming pool enjoys dedicated changing rooms and bathroom facilities, creating an exceptional leisure space that transforms everyday living. Whether enjoyed by family, guests or visitors staying within the cottages, it offers year-round luxury that is rarely found within historic homes of this calibre. It is a feature that elevates the estate beyond the traditional country house, creating a lifestyle centred around relaxation, wellbeing and entertaining. While Johnston Hall proudly celebrates its heritage, it also embraces the future. The discreet installation of sixteen solar panels enhances the property’s sustainability credentials, reducing energy costs while complementing rather than compromising its historic character. The Cottages Beyond the principal residence, the story of Johnston Hall continues through its remarkable collection of cottages. Rodney, Kensington, Lavington and Seymour have each been thoughtfully restored and individually named to reflect the property’s rich heritage and historical connections. Their names honour figures and estates associated with Johnston Hall’s past, subtly acknowledging links with the influential Seymour family of Tudor England. Each cottage offers beautifully presented accommodation full of charm and individuality, creating an established holiday letting business or elegant accommodation for extended family and guests. Together they reinforce the feeling that Johnston Hall is not simply a single residence but a complete country estate capable of adapting to many different lifestyles. The Coach House The opportunities continue still further through the former coach house. Planning permission has already been granted for its conversion into a substantial five-bedroom dwelling, opening the door to an exciting range of possibilities. It could become an impressive secondary residence for multi-generational living, luxurious guest accommodation or a valuable addition to the estate’s already established hospitality offering. Equally, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents, the coach house presents an exceptional opportunity to create a truly memorable boutique wedding and events venue. With Johnston Hall’s magnificent period architecture, beautifully landscaped grounds, mature parkland, indoor swimming pool and collection of four charming cottages already in place, the estate possesses many of the qualities sought after by exclusive-use wedding venues. The conversion could create a stunning setting for intimate weddings, private celebrations, corporate retreats or bespoke events, unlocking yet another exciting chapter in the estate’s future. A Rare Opportunity It is this extraordinary versatility that truly sets Johnston Hall apart. Whether your vision is to create a distinguished family estate, establish a luxury hospitality business, build an exclusive wedding and events venue, house an exceptional collection of classic cars, create an inspiring artist’s studio or simply become the next custodian of one of Pembrokeshire’s most remarkable homes, Johnston Hall offers a lifestyle that is as extraordinary as its history. Johnston Hall is far more than an outstanding period residence. It is a private estate where history, craftsmanship, opportunity and imagination come together in perfect harmony. It is a legacy to inherit, a lifestyle to embrace and a rare chance to become the next custodian of one of Pembrokeshire’s most distinguished country homes. Johnston Hall is not simply a home to own; it is a legacy to protect, an estate to shape and an extraordinary chapter waiting to be continued by its next custodian.
