A contemporary Welsh Eco house, set in an acre of land nestled on the Preseli Hills above the sea
Parc Bach is a contemporary Welsh cottage, set in an acre of farmland on the western side of the Preseli Mountains. The house is nestled in the hills above the market town of Newport. With views out across the sea, on a clear evening you can watch the sun as it sets behind Ireland, from the front gable window.
The architecture of the house at Parc Bach has been designed to mould into its context. As the larch cladding around the house silvers with time and the help of the salty wind, the building is weathering with and blending into it’s environment. The green roof has been seeded with grasses and wild flowers. It is a living roof, growing organically and offering a new habitat for insects and birds.
Layout
All bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen and dining area are on the ground floor. The upstairs is a large and wonderful living space that enjoys breath taking countryside and sea views.
From the great triangular window at the front of the main living space, you can easily spend a rainy day watching the weather blow across the water and spotting all sorts of wildlife. The field to the rear is in the process of ‘rewilding’ with the aim of creating a wild flower meadow to encourage biodiversity. Some new, young trees have been planted in the field and we hope to watch them flourish and provide a home for new wildlife in the years to come.
Local Area
Newport enjoys a truly stunning setting in the heart of North Pembrokeshire, where the coast, countryside, and mountains come together to create one of West Wales’s most picturesque destinations. This charming market town sits at the mouth of the River Nevern and offers easy access to golden beaches, scenic estuary walks, and the dramatic Pembrokeshire Coast Path. Visitors can explore independent shops, galleries, and welcoming cafés in the town, while nearby attractions such as Newport Sands, Carningli Mountain, and the Preseli Hills provide endless opportunities for walking, wildlife spotting, and outdoor adventure. With its relaxed atmosphere and beautiful surroundings, Newport is a perfect base for discovering the best of the Pembrokeshire coast.
