Location

The Hall occupies an idyllic and private coastal setting on the edge of the popular village of Angle and adjoins and overlooks East Angle Bay where boats can moor. The delightful sandy beach at West Angle Bay is only about a mile away. The property is within the famous Pembrokeshire Coast National Park with its miles of award winning Blue Flag beaches and stunning coastal walks that include Freshwater West (about 2.5 miles) and further afield, the National Trust beaches at Bosherston and Stackpole including Barrafundal Bay and Broadhaven South.

Despite offering seclusion the property is also accessible. Angle is convenient to local towns including the historic castle town of Pembroke (about 9 miles) and Tenby (19 miles).

Excellent transport services are on hand with ferry and rail services at Pembroke Dock (about 11 miles) while good road connections take you all over Pembrokeshire (Haverfordwest with regional airport about 21 miles) and further east to Carmarthen and the A48 M4 link road (about 40 miles).

The M4 provides access to the rest of south Wales with Swansea (about 66 miles) and Cardiff (about 109 miles) being the nearest cities before Newport (about 114 miles) and then the Severn Bridge with connections to England.

Description

The Hall offers a rare opportunity to acquire an impressive coastal county house that offers a superb private home as well as offering potential for a number of commercial uses e.g. boutique hotel/B&B, retreat, educational establishment etc, (stp – subject to planning). 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. Crenelated front with Victorian conservatory. Much altered but retains an early core."

Its history started as an old farmhouse that has been added to and modified over the centuries to produce the house that stands today. It is believed that the property was requisitioned during the Second World War by the Royal Canadian Air Force as a headquarters with the owner at the time (a Mrs Mirehouse who was an elderly widow) being allowed to live in two small rooms in the attic with her maid. The castellations, as well as many other features, were 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.
