Huge former convent on the coast that's on the market for a bargain price
Along the Pembrokeshire coastline between the popular town of Fishguard and the village of Goodrich there's a building on the top of the cliff with exceptional panoramic sea views that are uninterrupted and mesmerising stands a huge building with a historic past that is looking for a new future.
The seaside property that is now on the market is St Teresa's, a former convent with the core of the building dating back to 1918 and in the past run by the Sisters of Mercy as a care home for up to 27 residents and connected to a 14 bed modern extension at the rear and an on-site chapel.
In total the site extends to 2.4 acres and includes 20 car park spaces at the rear with outstanding northwest-facing views of the harbour and local beach at the front. The site also has a detached one-bedroom cottage and a three-bedroom bungalow and formal gardens to the side and rear.
