This large and historic property for sale hails from Georgian times - and comes with the potential to create your own house at the end of the garden.

The house on St Mary’s Street in Tenby is one of the Olive Buildings, a row of three houses dating back to the 1800s.

The Georgian property is Grade II listed along with its front railings, and is next door to the building once known as the Blue Dolphin Hotel.

One of the selling points of the building is a workshop at the end of the garden with the potential to be transformed into a new building, subject to planning permission.

Inside the house itself are four floors, starting with the basement, which in Georgian times would have been used by the owners’ servants.

Now, the basement is made up of a period kitchen, a workshop and a cloakroom, with direct access to the garden via a slate and stone staircase.

On the ground floor are a reception room and a living room, which have marble fireplaces, Georgian windows and a decorative buffet arch which could have been used as shelving, while also on this floor is a secondary kitchen and a utility room.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor as well as two further bedrooms, a shower room and a WC on the second floor.

Outside, the garden is walled and made up of a slate patio, a lawn and mature trees, as well as an outbuilding that could be converted into a three-storey building.

The property, which is being marketed by estate agents John Francis, is listed for offers in the region of £990,000.

The agent says: “[This is] a unique opportunity to purchase a truly characterful Grade II listed Georgian townhouse within the walled town of Tenby and having a potential plot opening to Lower Frog Street to the rear.

“Carefully repaired and restored by the conservation architect owner, there are a wealth of original features retained within this charming property, including elaborate buffet arches, shuttered sash windows, ornate cornicing, bricked basement floor, original fireplaces and a characteristic Tenby slate-hung jettied loo.”

An earlier version of this article stated that this building was once known as the Blue Dolphin Hotel. This has now been corrected.
