A Rare Coastal Cottage With Spectacular Sea Views & Live Planning Permission

Welcome to Porth Y Rhaw, a delightful 2 bedroom coastal terrace cottage perfectly positioned in the sought-after village of Solva, enjoying breathtaking, uninterrupted sea views from the front of the property. A cherished property that has been within the same family for over 100 years, further adding to its unique sense of history and provenance. Its setting, outlook and development potential combine to create a truly special offering.

Homes in this position rarely come to market, and even rarer still with live planning consent, offering the next owner an exceptional opportunity to remodel, extend or completely redevelop (subject to the existing approvals).

The property currently offers a cosy and characterful interior. The lounge/dining room features authentic exposed wood beams & a charming stone chimney breast with woodburner, creating a warm and inviting space. A portal window perfectly positioned enjoys the coastal outlook. To the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room leads through to a hallway with a family bathroom, while a generous enclosed rear garden provides an excellent outdoor space.

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms — one a generous principal bedroom, the second a smaller double — both of which capture the superb coastal views directly ahead.

Externally, the rear garden is a standout feature: spacious, private and mainly laid to lawn with a dedicated seating area, useful outbuilding, and private parking at the rear, which is extremely rare within this conservation village.

There is a private road leading to the front of the property but all residents have a right of access.

Live Planning Permission 

Porth Y Rhaw benefits from approved and current planning consent with Pembrokeshire Coast National Park:

NP/19/0616/FUL – Approved
Replacement dwelling & ancillary potting shed
NP/19/0617/CAC – Conservation Area Consent – Approved
Demolition & replacement dwelling
NP/25/0344/S73 – Application Valid (16th June 2025)
Extension of the above permission for a further 5 years.

This gives a buyer the extremely rare opportunity to redevelop a coastal cottage without facing the uncertainty or delays of a new planning application, saving significant time and cost. This alone adds considerable appeal for self-builders, investors, second-home owners and those seeking a forever coastal retreat.

Solva is one of Pembrokeshire’s most desirable coastal villages, set along a dramatic meltwater valley and offering beautiful walks, a vibrant harbour community, cafés, restaurants, galleries and three welcoming pubs. It sits moments from the Pembrokeshire Coast Path and only a short drive from St Davids.
