The estate's historical roots are deeply embedded in the heritage of Pembrokeshire's gentry homes, having once been linked to the Kensington estate. Although not a listed building, its historical significance remains undiminished. The property was previously listed for sale in 2021, when it was considered full of renovation potential, and the current owner has since spent years undertaking a complete update.

During the renovation, the owner removed cluttered, outdated carpets from the ground floor, making the ornate Minton floor tiles in the entrance hall a visual focal point. The kitchen was transformed from a classic country style into a sleek, modern space while retaining exposed ceiling beams. The most impactful change to the house was the removal of the wall between the kitchen and the living-dining room, creating a spacious core family space. Stone walls at both ends of the living-dining room were also exposed, adding tactile and visual warmth. The separate living area features light-colored walls and mid-tone furniture, allowing the wooden floors and garden views to stand out.
