Pier Cottage, Pier Road, Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire, SA73

**** PERIOD CHAIN FREE COTTAGE WITH A WATER VIEW SO CLOSE YOU CAN ALMOST TOUCH IT ****

Pier Cottage is possibly one of the most unique properties and certainly one of the oldest that we have ever had the privilege of marketing. Its wealth of charm and character PLUS its waterfront location actually once made the national newspaper headline with the main heading stating "The cottage built into the rock with the best sea views you'll find". It was a toll cottage in the 1800s for foot passengers entering Milford Haven, for which they paid an entrance fee. They also paid for high tea in the large building next door which was a hotel. "There even used to be a trap door in the hallway of the cottage where the washing from the hotel next door would be flung, passing it downstairs to be laundered. In old photos and newspaper cuttings you will see a wooden pier where boats used to pull up and let passengers off. Hence the name, Pier Cottage. Inside the cottage the current vendor has framed and hung some of these past images and references to the history of the cottage. One of these fascinating insights into the home's past reads: "In the 1850s Colonel Greville built this 750ft wooden pier from the cliffs between Milford Beach and Scotch Bay. It has a toll house and a hotel and was connected with Hamilton Terrace by Pier Road." In these old photos the hotel is clearly visible and it looks as though it still remains as homes, situated along the cul-de-sac that sees Pier Cottage located at the end.

It's truly beautiful location is made better by being within walking distance to all of the local amenities. The local Marina is a stone's throw away from Pier Cottage and a pleasant stroll along the waterfront. Here you will find a varied range of restaurants, bars and boutique shops all overlooking the Harbour views. The local shopping centre is also located on the Marina where you will find the larger shopping stores and all of the local school, doctor's surgeries and chemists can all be located in the main town of Milford Haven.

Nestled into an stone wall you will find an Entrance Doorway which opens up into Pier Cottage Gardens. The composite decked area with glass balustrades allows you to use this area as not only an entrance into the cottage but a fantastic are to be able to sit out and enjoy the panoramic view in an elevated location.
