Penfro, 111 Main Street

AN IMPOSING & SUBSTANTIAL GEORGIAN TOWN HOUSE WITH AN INTERESTING HISTORY & A SPACIOUS SUNNY GARDEN WITHIN THE HEART OF THE HISTORIC TOWN

GENERAL
Penfro is a Grade II * Listed Building in Pembroke. It is well positioned for accessing the town's amenities including the magnificent Pembroke Castle (originally 11th century) where King Henry VII was born in 1457. To the front there are views of St. Michael's Church. To the rear there are outlooks over the Commons Parkland etc.

This fine House has circa 1780 century origins. It was the Town House of the wealthy Cawdors who owned the Stackpole Estate and has several well preserved features including the main staircase, timber panelling, window shutters, several fireplaces and ornamental ceilings etc. Pevsner, the respected Architectural Digest of Wales, has a few photographs and includes one of the main staircase showing its historic importance and says "111, the crowning glory of the domestic architecture".

Until recently, for many years Penfro was successfully run as an award winning Guest House. Subject to consent, it could be converted into Apartments and within the Grounds there is a Ruin which also has potential.
