Description

This unique property, formerly St Margaret's Church, is located approximately 300 meters south of the quaint village of Wolfscastle in mid-Pembrokeshire. Originally constructed in 1672 by a landowner from nearby Puncheston, this unlisted building presents a distinctive opportunity for renovation and investment. The church features a solid stone structure with a slate roof and includes an entrance porch complete with an external bellcote. The interior boasts high ceilings supported by elegant A-frame trusses, along with rendered internal walls and wood block flooring in the open plan nave/chancel area (measuring 8.8 x 4.76 meters). Three arched internal windows add to the character of the space, making it suitable for various potential uses. The property encompasses the former church building and a small portion of the surrounding churchyard, while the remainder of the site remains under the management of the Local Ministry Area of Greater Dewisland. A right of way will be granted to the new owner, providing access from the entrance gates to the church building. Although there is currently no designated parking area on-site, there may be options for creating parking spaces subject to obtaining the necessary permissions from local authorities. Previously equipped with electrical services that have since been disconnected, prospective buyers are encouraged to investigate reconnection possibilities and assess what other essential services would be required based on their intended use. Importantly, this property is not listed and does not fall within a conservation area, which enhances its flexibility for redevelopment. Currently classified under D1 planning use according to the Use Classes Order, there may also be potential for alternative uses pending appropriate planning permission. Given its unique character and location near Treffgarne Rock—a well-known geological feature—this property holds significant appeal for those looking to innovate or invest in Pembrokeshire’s growing market. Interested parties should conduct their own inquiries into planning possibilities as well as any restrictions or covenants that may apply upon purchase.
