For Sale2 Bedroom House in Lambston, Haverfordwest, SA62£400,000

An exceptional Grade II listed former church, exquisitely converted into a unique coastal home of architectural and historical significance, set within its original churchyard and enjoying far-reaching countryside views towards the Preseli Hills. High Haven is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully reimagined historic building, first recorded in 1291 and believed to occupy a site of earlier Celtic origin. Formerly known as St Ismael’s Church, this remarkable structure has been sympathetically transformed by its architect owners into a striking contemporary home, while retaining an exceptional wealth of period detail spanning nearly a millennium. The interior is arranged around a dramatic double-height living space beneath an impressive 19th-century Arts and Crafts roof. At its heart sits a sculptural Stûv wood-burning stove, providing both visual impact and warmth, while arched stone mullion windows flood the space with natural light and frame picturesque rural views. The open-plan kitchen and dining area is separated from the main living space by an early Gothic archway, beneath which stands a beautifully preserved Romanesque oolite font, now serving as a distinctive centrepiece. The bespoke kitchen has been thoughtfully designed to incorporate the church’s original oak altar as a kitchen worktop, blending historic craftsmanship with clean, modern lines and high-quality finishes. A mezzanine gallery overlooks the principal living areas and provides flexible space ideal for home working, additional seating, or occasional guest use. Beyond, two charming bedrooms are set beneath the eaves, each enjoying elevated views across the surrounding countryside through conservation rooflights. The accommodation is served by two stylish bathrooms, including a boutique-style bathroom with a bath positioned beneath a medieval window. Practicality has been carefully considered, with a welcoming entrance hall laid with Welsh flagstones, a dedicated boot room, a ground-floor shower room, a utility/laundry room, and excellent built-in storage throughout. Externally, High Haven sits within its original deconsecrated churchyard, now a tranquil and beautifully maintained garden. Lawned areas provide space for outdoor seating and entertaining, while mature trees, shrubs and historic gravestones create a peaceful, atmospheric setting. The garden enjoys open views across rolling countryside towards the Preseli Hills. The original 1807 chapel bell remains in situ, a striking reminder of the building’s ecclesiastical past. High Haven represents an exceptionally rare offering: a landmark historic property combining architectural pedigree, sensitive design, and a highly desirable Pembrokeshire location, within easy reach of the coast.
