Catherine Street, St Davids, SA62 6RJ

It is believed that there has been a property on the site of this home since the 10th century, making it one of the oldest in St Davids. While the home you find when you enter has clearly changed hugely over the centuries, the warmth, character, and history are woven into its stones. This surprisingly spacious property offers accommodation over three levels and has the huge benefit of both a large rear garden and off-street parking, along with an integral garage. While the property is a moment’s walk from the centre of St Davids, it enjoys a remarkable sense of privacy along with superb views of the Bishop’s Palace at the bottom of the valley. The flexible nature of the accommodation allowed the owners to utilise the front room on the ground floor as a very popular holiday let space with its own access to the fore, a great option should someone wish to reinstate this. This delightful property offers so much to a buyer, while enjoying such a superb position in this world-famous city.

Approaching the home from the side, you climb a pretty flight of steps to the stable door leading into the entrance hall. This handy space has a door leading into the well-finished ground floor bathroom, which in turn has a door to the integral garage. Heading down the entrance hall, you arrive in the heart of the property, the wonderful kitchen/dining space. This spacious room has doors out to the gardens and is open to the landing above with a galleried mezzanine. The dining space also contains a characterful range cooker, with a reading nook beside it. The kitchen offers a large space with plenty of room for freestanding white goods. Two doors, with a small vestibule between them, take you through into the front room of the home. This space was used as a self-contained holiday let, which proved popular year-round with visitors to St Davids. It currently serves as guest accommodation with a handy ensuite shower room but could provide more living space if needed. The front room has a door out to the front of the home.

Climbing the stairs to the first floor, you arrive on the galleried landing which looks back over the kitchen/diner below. The first room you come to on this level is the charming sitting room. This welcoming space has exposed beams and windows to two sides. The space also has a ladder up to a handy crog loft which offers additional storage. The sitting room also has a gas fire, in wood burner style, with built-in storage to either side. Heading along the landing, you arrive at the master bedroom which offers a window to the front and a large built-in wardrobe. The master also has a lovely ensuite with a bath and separate shower, along with a window looking directly down the valley to the Bishop’s Palace. Next to the master bedroom, you find another double bedroom along with stairs up to the second floor.

This top level of the property is packed with character and enjoys rooflights to both sides, flooding the space with natural light. A door leads into a bedroom as you first climb the stairs, with the second space currently used as a study and overflow accommodation.

Externally, the property enjoys a sunny rear garden that has been lovingly cared for by the current owners. The garden also includes a large, raised sun terrace which makes for a wonderful sun trap. Across the lane at the side of the home, you find the private off-road parking, a rare bonus in this position. The property also has the benefit of an integral garage which would make a perfect workspace, with two windows to the side of the home and an internal door.

St Davids, the UK’s smallest city, is rightly celebrated for its charming mix of independent boutiques, eateries, and coffee spots, all of which are close at hand to this property. Step beyond the city and you’ll discover some of West Wales’s most breathtaking coastline and countryside, with Whitesands Beach frequently named among the finest in Britain. Whether you’re drawn to water sports, sailing, or leisurely exploration, 6 Catherine Street is ideally located to make the most of it all. Renowned worldwide for its magnificent cathedral, the final resting place of Wales’s patron saint, St Davids today is more than a historic destination; it is a lively coastal community that warmly welcomes visitors and residents alike.

For those looking for a property that combines this superb location with a home that would be perfect as a full-time residence or a warm and welcoming retreat, 6 Catherine Street is a wonderful proposition.
