Relax and Explore...
Welcome to The Old Schoolhouse, our unique home in the quiet village of Crundale, just outside the County Town of Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire.
The Old Schoolhouse was built in 1876 and was a working school up until 1966. We bought the School in 2007 and in a 14 year labour of love have lived in, converted and extended it. We actually did a lot of the work ourselves together with a local builder who had actually attended the school!
Situated on a quiet lane with large gardens and wonderful views this unique house can sleep up to 10 people with ease and a few more at a pinch!
It is conveniently located close to the county town of Haverfordwest and is a short drive from all the beaches, walks and beauty that Pembrokeshire has to offer.
The Old Schoolhouse is huge! It's perfect for large family groups and with 4 reception rooms, 4 bedrooms (all with private bathrooms), a roof terrace, garden patio and very large gardens, there's no danger of getting under each others feet.
