Foley House History
Foley House is one of Haverfordwest’s most distinguished landmarks. Designed in the early 1800s by the celebrated Georgian architect John Nash, the house carries a legacy of elegance and heritage. Nash is best known for shaping London’s Regent Street, Regent’s Park, and the Royal Pavilion in Brighton - and even had a hand in the development of Buckingham Palace. Foley House stands proudly among these achievements as a jewel of Pembrokeshire architecture.
A Residence Through the Ages
Once a grand Georgian home, Foley House has long been a cherished landmark of Haverfordwest, known for its elegant proportions and timeless character. It has lived many lives, from a distinguished private residence to the busy offices of Pembrokeshire County Council, before falling silent nearly twenty years ago. Since the council moved out, its doors have remained closed, its rooms untouched and its stories paused, waiting for a new chapter to begin.
A New Chapter Begins
In 2024, after years of uncertainty, Foley House entered a new era. Through a Community Asset Transfer, the building was entrusted to Adam’s Bucketful of Hope charity. Our vision is to restore Foley House not only to its former splendour but also to transform it into a place of comfort, care, and community.
The restoration will blend respect for its Georgian heritage with thoughtful modern adaptations, creating welcoming spaces designed for rest, recuperation, and respite. What was once a private residence will become a haven for people across Pembrokeshire facing cancer and other life-limiting conditions.
