Enjoying an appealing location on the periphery of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, on the edge of the charming rural village of St. Florence, some 2 miles or so from the coastal resort of Tenby, which lies on the south Pembrokeshire coastline.

The grounds are mainly laid to lawn and incorporate a variety of well established shrubs and trees and a small vegetable patch and greenhouse are located to the rear. A level paved patio area is seen to the front of the residence providing a delightful seating area where one can sit and appreciate the pretty setting.
