We are delighted to bring to market Fairways, a substantial seven-bedroom detached residence set in the highly sought-after location of Pembrey, near Burry Port. To the rear, the property enjoys far-reaching views across the sea, Gower, and the iconic Worm’s Head, a truly special outlook that has been further celebrated by the TV programme The Guest, which has shone a spotlight on this beautiful corner of the world. To the front, the property overlooks the scenic hillside, offering a delightful contrast of vistas.
This property offers endless potential, whether as a large-scale renovation project to restore the existing home to its former glory, or as a development opportunity with outline planning permission (Ref: PL/05130) for four detached dwellings. The approved scheme proposes three detached homes within the northern part of the site, accessed via the existing entrance, with a fourth property to the south, benefiting from its own new access through the south-east boundary. Whichever route is chosen, Fairways represents a rare chance to create something truly special in one of Carmarthenshire’s most desirable coastal settings.
Nestled between the coastline and rolling countryside, Pembrey and Burry Port are highly regarded for their blend of natural beauty, community spirit, and excellent amenities. With the renowned Pembrey Country Park, miles of sandy beaches, and Burry Port Harbour on the doorstep, outdoor enthusiasts are spoilt for choice. Burry Port is a vibrant town offering cafés, pubs, schools, shops, and leisure facilities, making it ideal for families, while nearby Pembrey is a charming village with a pub and a café. Strong transport connections from the area provide easy access to Llanelli, Carmarthen, and Swansea.
