Gannet's Lodge, located in the picturesque Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire, is a stunning property designed by the esteemed local architect Beaumont 'Monty' Minter in the late 1960s. This unique residence features a 'bungalow-over-basement' layout that maximizes breathtaking 180-degree views of the Milford Haven Waterway. The design showcases mid-century modern elements, including stone cladding, split-level flooring, and the use of dark wood and stone throughout the interior. Currently, the house is undergoing thoughtful modernization by its new owner, a partner at Cardiff-based Downs Merrifield Architects, with the first phase of renovations recently completed, enhancing the living space, bedrooms, and one bathroom.
The property offers ample parking with a private drive and features a spacious dining and living area that provides direct views of the waterway. An attached conservatory serves as a sun-drenched space perfect for enjoying evening sunsets. The well-equipped kitchen, located further down the hallway, also boasts impressive views of the haven. The four bedrooms are designed for comfort, with the master bedroom featuring an en-suite bathroom while the other three bedrooms share a modern family bathroom, all designed to complement the home’s overall aesthetic.
Gannet's Lodge embraces the indoor/outdoor living lifestyle, making it an ideal retreat for families and friends. Positioned at the end of Llanstadwell village, it offers privacy along with ample space and panoramic views. The property is also equipped with an Electric Vehicle (EV) charging port, catering to modern needs. This home is available for a limited time over the summer season before the second phase of renovations begins in Winter 2022, which will focus on updating the kitchen and bathroom and converting lower ground floor storage into livable space.
Situated in a rural area near the beach, Gannet's Lodge is conveniently located close to local landmarks such as Pembroke Castle and Lamphey Bishop's Palace. Visitors can explore attractions like the Milford Haven Heritage & Maritime Museum and Upton Castle Gardens, while outdoor enthusiasts may enjoy the nearby Manor House Zoo and Heatherton World of Activities. This combination of location, design, and modern amenities makes Gannet's Lodge a perfect destination for a memorable staycation in beautiful Pembrokeshire.
