Embrace the charm, elegance, and tranquillity of Tir Y Coed—your dream country retreat awaits!SELLER INSIGHTHow long have you owned the property?“We moved here at the end of June 2016, so just over eight years ago.”What attracted you to this specific house and location?“The garden was the biggest draw; the tranquillity of the place strikes you as soon as you arrive. There is no through traffic, the soundtrack is provided by the birds.  The house is on the edge of the Rowen and a five-minute stroll from the village pub. Rowen is pretty and has featured in one the broadsheet’s top places to live in the UK (very subjective but still interesting).   We sit on the edge of the second largest wilderness in the UK, yet only 10 minutes from Llandudno Junction and from there, just over three hours to Euston.   For the first few years Chris commuted every week, so being able to be in central London well before 9 a.m. on Monday morning made a big difference.”What would you like to tell parents about the benefits of raising children here?“Our children are fully grown but I would feel very happy bringing children up here. There are good schools nearby and a bus picks up the children every day. In terms of activities, there are plenty of options. The area around here is cycling nirvana, whether it’s mountain bikes or road bikes, and we’re only a few miles from the coast, so there are numerous water sport options.  There’s a good cricket club and Links Golf Course in Conwy and the Welsh Under 20 ruby team play at Porth Eirias in Colwyn where there is a professional team. We have a swimming pool in Llandudno as well as tennis courts in Conwy and an active wild swimming club in Trefriw, a few miles down the valley. We are blessed by nature – there are polecats, owls, falcons and wild horses in the mountains surrounding the village.  And of course we live in Snowdonia, one of the world’s great adventure playgrounds.”What can you tell us about the history of the property and how it has been adapted since you’ve owned it?“The house was built in 1897 by a well-known Llandudno hotelier, Edwin Goulding who owned Goulding’s Hotel in Church Walks. We can see from the Ordnance Survey Map from a few years before that there was already a property called Woodlands (Tir y Coed is ‘Woodlands’ in Welsh) so it appears that Mr Goulding demolished that property and built a new house on the site. Contemporaneous Council records show that he received planning permission to build “a villa” on the site.  The story of the new house and how Mr Goulding brought a party of VIP guests from the hotel to Rowen is recorded in the news, where it seems they had society gossip columns in those days too!”The following text is from The North Wales Chronicle on Saturday 4th September 1897:A Party of Visitors from Goulding's Hotel had a good time on Thursday during a day's outing to Roe Wen in the Conway Valley, where Mr Goulding has erected a commodious house on a charming site.The party included a General - two Anglo-Indian Generals have been staying at Goulding's - an ex-Mayor of Oxford, a prominent resident from Nottingham well-known in cricket circles, and several others.Of course the route is too well-known to need comment. The grand view from Tywyn Hill, then through Conway with its ancient Castle, after which the sylvan scenery of the Valley is lovely all the way with occasional glimpses of the Rhine of North Wales.Arrived at The Woodlands, as Mr Goulding styles his new house, the unanimous remark was What a beautiful spot; and one of the ladies caused a smile by ejaculating Oh, what a suitable place for a honeymoon!“And indeed the location is charming beyond description. Visitors staying here for a time would probably greatly appreciate a few days at The Woodlands.“The party on Thursday enjoyed themselves to the full. Anecdotes, especially by the ex-Mayor and the General, were numerous, and the ladies asked more conundrums than we have heard since Christmas.“The Gouldings kept the property in their family until the 1930s when it changed it’s name to Tir y Coed. Several well-to-do people owned the property including the Conwy Assizes Court Wigmaker, and we have heard tales from people in the village of some of the others, including one exasperated lady, who’s chauffeur would disappear to the neighbouring property, where the neighbour’s daughter would be happy to make him cups of tea!At some point in the 1960s, the place was turned into a guest house and had been run as a boutique hotel for over 40 years when we took over.Since we have been here, we have gradually changed the house back to something that feels like our home rather than a business, and now we operate as a B&B and only for the summer months. We have reclaimed the dining room and the drawing room but leave it open to guests as a facility.We have replaced the old sash windows with double glazing, re-roofed using beautiful bull-nosed clay tiles, replaced the boiler and water cylinders but the biggest project of all though has been the coach house, which was abandoned and had ivy growing through the walls. This is where we live in the summer, and it features a lovely minstrels gallery which originally housed two single beds to accommodate a family let. We also included plumbing for the gallery in case we ever wanted to install a bath up there, to take advantage of the views and plumbing on the balcony just in case we wanted a hot tub. However, since Covid the Coach House mezzanine has served as Chris’s office, providing him with amazing views of the mountains whilst working, definitely the best office he’s ever worked in!  We loved this project so much that we are now looking to build our forever home.”Who do you think would be the ideal next owner?“The house offers so many options but someone working from home could use the coach house as we have, but it's also ideal as a “granny annex” or as a studio (the views are inspiring). Obviously, the house is very well established as a boutique B&B, so it also would lend itself to a couple looking for a lifestyle business.“What’s your favourite room and why?“The living room which leads into the dining room is our favourite as it’s where we spend most time during the winter months when we reclaim the house as our home. When we redecorated, we added a little glitter to the paint which you can’t see in the day, but does show up when the fire is lit.  The log burner provides the cosy ambience, there are fir trees outside the windows and when the place is dressed for Christmas it is simply magical.”Memorable/remarkable event?“The lockdown during Covid. Our youngest child was in Australia with his girlfriend, and it appeared that they were going to be stuck there. We somehow managed to get them home on a flight to Manchester and they caught a taxi here. They were able to quarantine for a few weeks in the Coach House. As the weather was fabulous we met them every day in the garden, where we were able to keep our distance but still have meals together.  They stayed with us for a few months and helped us establish the kitchen garden.”What do you love about the house the most now?“The versatility of the place, the views of the mountains, the birds, and the garden (still).”What you’ll miss most?“The fact that we both have our own spaces so we’re never in each other’s way. Chris will never have an office like the one he has now in the Coach House and Sandra will miss the garden and our neighbours.”What do you love about the local community?“There is an active and thriving community, with a village hall, which timetable is packed with numerous classes, a play group and hosts plays, art fairs, movie nights and the occasional concert. We are lucky to have a pub, a coffee shop and a chapel. Every two years there is an open gardens event and there is a village carnival every year.”Additional Information Services: Mains water, electricity and drainage.

I always walked past Riverstone and the first time I laid eyes on it I fell in love with the stonework and the river setting, I imagined what a great family home it would be.”Can you recall the moment you knew it was “the one”?“In 2016 the owner asked me in the local pub, the Fairy Glen, if I would be interested in buying Riverstone and invited me to look at the property. Me and my wife, Michelle, went for a look and instantly fell in love with the place, Michelle’s exact words were ‘what a beautiful home to raise a family’ and that’s exactly what we did.”Following those first impressions, how has your connection deepened over time, things like the architecture, the setting, the atmosphere and experiences all play a part?“Riverstone is a truly magical family home for me, my wife and our 5 children. It’s so well built, and solid, not like the new builds you find today. It’s also such a quiet setting with nothing but the sound of the river and birds. My 3 young boys are always out playing by the river or climbing trees in the fields. We love the peace and quiet as well as how safe the property feels. We grow all our own vegetables and harvest apples from the orchard as well as tomatoes from the green house.”How would you describe the feeling of arriving home, whether at the end of a busy day, after a weekend trip or simply just a few hours away?“I work away for 4 weeks at a time in Africa so when I return I always ensure the driver takes the Conwy exit and over Sychnant Pass into the village to see the beautiful country views, as we enter the driveway the view of the open mountain and river makes me happy. I’m always greeted by my 3 young boys playing on the grass waiting for me. When I enter the house, Michelle always makes sure the log fires are lit, if it’s cold outside, and instantly it feels like home.”Tell us a little about the home’s history. Have you made any changes or additions that you feel have enhanced its character or functionality?“Riverstone was built in 1818 and was part of the Glyn Estate. I believe there used to be an old mill in the top field. We have made quite a few changes to the property, we have removed the old PVC conservatory that used to be at the front and added the boot room to the right of the property, changed all the windows from PVC to oak sash windows, all the oak doors and window we installed have come from oak trees on our 6 acres. All the dry-stone walls that had fallen over have all been put back up and in the Summer months they are full of newts and common lizards. All the stone fireplaces, coving and plenty more were put back to original.”Is there a particular feature or detail that holds special meaning for you? “When we first moved into Riverstone we lived in the Annexe whilst renovating the main part of the house. In the kitchen, the past owner had a log burning stove and this will always hold a special place in my heart. I always dreamed of a log fire and we remember finding out we were pregnant with our first baby boy, we lit the fire, had dinner and discussed all our future plans that night for hours, this is still one of my most special evenings sat by that fire.”Which spaces do you find yourself gravitating to most, and why?“We love the kitchen and I like to cook when home. Feeling the warm radiant heat from the AGA after a few glasses of wine with all the family sitting around the oak top island is pretty special. We love to relax in the living room with the log fire crackling, children playing with their toys and watching programs together.”How does your home make day to day living feel special? Whether it’s morning light in the kitchen, cosy evenings by the fire, or garden views that never get old?“There is always something to see, a fox early morning, red kite in the sky, the Heron in the river catching a brown trout or just the glow of the fire in the living room.”What time of year does the property feel most magical, and why?“My wife Michelle loves the summer months because she loves to pack the picnic basket and we go sit by the river at our special spot, make a small campfire and the boys swim in the river while we relax with a glass of wine, that’s magical to be able to have that freedom. My most magical time of the year is definitely Autum, when all the leaves turn and the scenery looks magical. Time to light the fires which make the house nice and cosy.”For families, what do you feel makes this such a wonderful place to raise children?“The freedom and how safe the area is, we have 3 boys, Connor 8, Cai 7 and little Cobi who is 3 and a half. Twin girls who are 23, and have left home, and are now at university. The boys are never inside and are always catching frogs, playing in the river or climbing trees. The boys have learnt valuable skills from caring for and raising chickens, sheep and how to grow vegetables. Every morning before school they will run to the orchard and pick fresh pink lady apples from the tree in the growing season.”How would you describe the local community and the lifestyle on offer?“Capelulo has a lovely village setting with a local pub just few minutes’ walk from Riverstone, everyone is so friendly and there’s plenty to do. The beach is only 15min walk and mountain trails all around. 5min drive into Conwy. Capelulo school is where our children go and it is fantastic. In the summer months Michelle walks and the boys ride the bikes which is only 10 minute’s.”Are there favourite local spots, cafés, pubs, restaurants, walks, hidden gems etc that really capture the spirit of living here?“To be honest the whole area is a hidden gem, it’s just off the beaten track but only 5 misn to the A55. There are endless activities to do whether it be a drink at the pub, playing golf, the beach, hiking and mountain biking.”Can you share a remarkable or meaningful moment that truly sums up your time in this home? “The birth of my 3 boys and watching them grow, play and explore nature.”What kinds of memories have been created here? Celebrations, milestones, or quiet moments that you’ll always cherish?“Michelle does love an excuse for a party whether its family birthdays, Christmas or New Year. The Annexe is perfect for family with kids to come and stay for long weekends.”What do you think the next owners will fall in love with most?“The feeling of being nestled at the foot of the mountains with a river (The Gyrach). The peace and quiet, outdoor activities on your doorstep and a true lifestyle property with total privacy.”Who do you imagine would feel most at home here?“Anyone that enjoys the countryside, horse riding, smallholding lifestyle, privacy and safety for raising a family.”As you prepare to move on, what will you miss most and what will you take with you in your memories?“We will miss Riverstone dearly! The work we have both put into it and the fantastic memories of starting, and raising, our family. I plan to retire in the next few years we are planning to start our new adventure and wish all the best to the lucky new owners of Riverstone.”Additional Information Services: Mains electricity, water and drainage.

We couldn’t believe it when we viewed Brookford Lodge and it was everything we’d been looking for and more!”    Can you recall the moment you knew it was “the one”?“The moment we drove through the gates I was optimistic. It was such a unique design and such a private house yet in the heart of a pretty village. When I stepped inside, the high ceilings made it feel spacious and airy. It felt so homely I was literally picturing our furniture in each room. It was definitely ‘the one!’.”Following those first impressions, how has your connection deepened over time, things like the architecture, the setting, the atmosphere and experiences all play a part?“Brookford Lodge has grown and adapted with us over the years, allowing us to easily embrace each new stage of life and occasion. The kitchen has been the heart of our family home, and it made perfect sense to add a playroom off the kitchen when the children were young, which became a great place for them to invite friends as they grew older. As the girls became teens, they took over the entire top floor, so they had their own space and privacy. What was once the nursery became a guest bedroom with en-suite for friends and family.”Tell us a little about the home’s history. Have you made any changes or additions that you feel have enhanced its character or functionality?“When we moved in, the garden was just a field. It’s been wonderful over the years to see how it’s grown and matured. The woodland area provides a fabulous habitat for birds and hedgehogs. We added a small patio near the pond, which captures the morning sun and is the perfect place for breakfast, and the BBQ area is great for gatherings with family and friends.”Is there a particular feature or detail that holds special meaning for you?“The hot tub has been a great addition to the garden. Sitting, chatting to friends and watching the sun set has been fun. But watching my toddlers learning to swim is a particularly special memory for me.For my husband, the office and studio having its own entrance, separate from the house has been invaluable for working from home.”Which spaces do you find yourself gravitating to most, and why?“Our open plan kitchen is where we have spent most of our time as a family. When entertaining and preparing food, it’s easy to stay involved in the conversation. With the games room just off the kitchen, the children could play and still be connected.”How does your home make day to day living feel special? Whether it’s morning light in the kitchen, cosy evenings by the fire, or garden views that never get old?“I love all of the windows at Brookford Lodge - it is such a light and bright home, with many of the rooms having dual aspect. The garden faces south, so from daybreak until dusk, all the rooms are flooded with light. Sitting on the decking, listening to the birds and looking down the garden always feels special. It’s like being on holiday every day!”What time of year does the property feel most magical, and why?“All of the seasons here have their own special meaning. We love the bluebells that carpet the woodland area to mark the start of Spring. Summer is fabulous; the patio area is a sun trap, so we’re outside a lot, on the decking area or in the hot-tub! In Autumn and Winter we light log fires in the fire-pit and cook chilli and jacket potatoes, especially for bonfire night. Perhaps the most magical of all is Christmas. The living flame fire flickers in the sitting room. We always have a large Christmas tree from the local Christmas tree farm in Threapwood, and the whole family gathers to celebrate!”For families, what do you feel makes this such a wonderful place to raise children?“Worthenbury is a very safe and friendly village. Halloween is a special time in the village, where most of the neighbours are happy to welcome the door to door ‘trick or treaters’. At Christmas, the local farmers organise a ‘Tractor-Run’ where they decorate their tractors and drive through Worthenbury and other local villages in convoy, collecting donations for charity. The village hall has pizza and wine and the whole village turns out in support. There is a play park in the village, with a small cycle track where our children learnt to ride their bikes. There are also some great schools – Malpas has the Alport primary school and Bishops Heber secondary. Abbey Gate College is a short drive and there is a local school bus to The Kings School or The Queen’s school for girls in Chester.The garden is great to explore and is enclosed on all sides. We kept chickens, geese and had ducks on the pond. There are some great walks around our local area, down winding country paths.”How would you describe the lifestyle on offer?“I’d say it’s a perfect mix of peace, tranquillity and everything a countryside location has to offer, combined with easy connectivity to schools, the city and transport links.”Are there favourite local spots, cafés, pubs, restaurants, walks, hidden gems etc that really capture the spirit of living here?“There are lots of fabulous country pubs, but we love the ‘The Boat’ at Erbistock, such a pretty 17th century inn set beside the river Dee. It is tucked away and it took us a while to discover it!  The ‘Lost Barn’ in Tilston is fabulous for coffee and breakfast. We are also members of Carden Park which is  just a 20 minute drive away and has a world class spa and golf club, great gym facilities and a lovely swimming pool.”What about local events or venues for entertaining family and friends?“Bangor-on-Dee racecourse is a 10 minute drive from Worthenbury and is a great day out. Alderford Lake is also local and has a wonderful café, lots of water-based activities all year round and several festivals. My husband enjoys mountain biking with friends in Llandegla.”Can you share a remarkable or meaningful moment that truly sums up your time in this home?“Bringing my first-born home and showing her around the house, and in a flash, marking high-school graduation with Pre-Prom parties in the Garden under a Marquee with champagne flowing. It’s been a blast!”What do you think the next owners will fall in love with most?“Brookford Lodge is such an adaptable house, the next owners will be able to make their home anything they want it to be. The flexibility to have multi-generational living, a family home or an exceptional house to entertain in, Brookford Lodge has it all.For anyone who loves peace and privacy and is looking for a countryside lifestyle yet with all the advantages of the proximity to lots of amenities, look no further!”As you prepare to move on, what will you miss most and what will you take with you in your memories?“We will both miss the garden and especially the birdsong, the local area and the friends we have made. Brookford Lodge has managed to adapt to everything we have needed with room to spare!This house has been the backdrop for the story of our lives. We hope the next owners love it as much as we have.”Additional Information Services: Mains electricity and water. Private drainage.

There are houses at this price. And then there are opportunities.Elmwood is the latter. A masterfully restored 1930s residence behind private electric gates on the edge of Eccleston Village. 3,033 sq ft of exceptional craftsmanship across the main house and a fully self-contained detached annexe, set on 0.35 acres of south-facing grounds. All of it overlooking the permanent green expanse of the Duke of Westminster's Eaton Estate, a view that will never be built out.For a buyer who simply wants a magnificent family home rich in period features, Elmwood delivers without question. But for a buyer who also wants their money to work, this is rare. The detached annexe, finished to the same exacting standard as the main house, functions seamlessly as a luxury holiday let in one of England's most visited cathedral cities, a long-term rental, or a home for family that feels like a home rather than an afterthought. Reviewing Air BnB and Sykes Cottages at current Chester-area short-stay rates, a conservatively run holiday let of this calibre could potentially offer a considered return, a meaningful offset against ownership costs from day one.The 0.35-acre plot warrants attention in its own right. Gated, private, and south-facing — land of this scale and quality, with countryside views, this close to Chester, at this price, does not come along often.Behind the handsome red-brick façade, the restoration is the work of artisans rather than developers. Hand-rolled plaster ceilings with intricate bird's-beak detailing, crafted by an award-winning craftsman. Original herringbone parquet throughout. Restored cast-iron fireplaces in every principal room. A bespoke kitchen built around a four-oven Aga, framed by 18th-century botanical tiles sourced from Natural History Museum plates. Every room carries the quiet confidence of work done properly, by people who cared.Chain free and ready to occupy. Elmwood does not need you to imagine what it could be, it already is.The Main House Entrance & Ground FloorA wide entrance hall sets the tone immediately: original herringbone parquet underfoot, high ceilings, and a generous cloakroom with coat and boot storage neatly integrated beneath the stairs. A dedicated utility room — plumbed for washing machine with dryer space — keeps the practical invisible.Two reception rooms flank the hall, each with deep bay windows, hand-crafted fireplaces with log burners, and those remarkable curved plaster ceilings, period features rarely found at this level of preservation. Light pours in. The proportions feel generous without being cavernous.The kitchen is the heart of the home, a bespoke country-house design built around a four-oven Aga, opening into a conservatory that draws the garden in and floods the space with natural light. On a clear day, the rural views across open countryside make this one of the finest spots in the house to simply sit.First FloorUpstairs, four bedrooms are arranged around a generous landing. The principal suite overlooks the Eaton Estate through a Juliet balcony, complete with a dressing room and a luxurious en suite bathroom, an oasis of calm with outstanding countryside views. A second generous double bedroom and two further bedrooms, one currently fitted as a handcrafted library, equally suited as a nursery or home office, served by an equally well-appointed family bathroom with en-suite quality finishes.The Annexe — 1,308 sq ft Detached Fully Self-ContainedDiscreetly positioned but fully independent, the detached annexe is architecturally cohesive with the main house and finished to the same exacting standard. Whether used for multi-generational living, as a holiday let, a long-term rental, or a professional home office and studio, it offers genuine flexibility without compromise.On the ground floor: a private sitting room with log burner overlooking the rear garden, a well-equipped kitchen, a dedicated office and workspace, and a detached double garage with electric doors and ceramic-tiled floor — with adjoining side store. Above, a spacious en suite bedroom provides complete autonomy for guests, extended family, or tenants.As a holiday let, the annexe represents a compelling income opportunity. Chester draws millions of visitors annually for its races, cathedral, Roman heritage, and the Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa is on the doorstep. Rental income from a well-presented annex or annexe of this specification in this location can realistically offset a significant portion of annual ownership costs.The Gardens & GroundsApproached through electric gates onto a sweeping private drive with parking for eight vehicles plus a detached double garage, Elmwood's south-facing grounds have been thoughtfully landscaped to follow the sun across the day. A Gabriel Ash greenhouse, a separate workshop ideal for hobbies or additional storage, and a summerhouse — perfect for evening drinks with those uninterrupted countryside views over the Eaton Estate — complete the picture. Seclusion and substance in equal measure.LocationEccleston sits in a semi-rural pocket of Cheshire that is increasingly difficult to find: genuinely peaceful, with walking access to the River Dee, the Grosvenor Garden Centre, and the Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa, yet with the connectivity of a city suburb.Chester city centre is 3.5 miles.

Contact us today and step into a world of elegance, comfort, and endless possibilities. Seller Insight How long have you owned the property?  “3 and a half wonderful years.”What attracted you to this specific house and location?  “We fell in love with the house, with its mix of historical character and charm with more modern living spaces for comfortable family living. Even though it is a large house, with spectacular outdoor space and a beautiful garden, it also feels very homely. We also loved the fact that the house, while remaining peaceful and secluded, is in the heart of a thriving and friendly community, minutes from the centre of Liverpool.”What would you like to tell parents about the benefits of raising children here?  “The house offers so much for children. There is ample space for indoor playing (hide and seek a favourite) and the children enjoy the excitement of being able to use the cinema with friends or for family movie nights. The swimming pool and the versatile, large but contained garden allow them to burn off energy outside. There are large bedrooms for the kids to enjoy but we love the fact that given there are four bedrooms on one floor, we remain close to each other at night. It is the perfect house for hosting, especially at Christmas when the house really comes into its own, so the children have benefited from having family and friends with us often.”What can you tell us about the history of the property and how it has been adapted since you’ve owned it? “The house was designed and commissioned back in the 1920's by a famous shipping family, the Holts and we have the original architectural drawings framed and up on the wall. They seemed like a very welcoming family as there are newspaper cut outs about local children being invited into the house to use the lift which we are told was the first residential one of its kind. The house still retains features of its shipping heritage with unique porthole windows in the grand hallway and the old bell system, now made electronic, throughout the rooms. We have adapted the house to make it work better for a family, with the snug becoming a playroom. We have had the gates expertly restored by a local carpenter, we also replaced the boiler with a modern, efficient system to ensure the original part of the house remained cosy and warm through the winter. The water features in the garden were also made child safe.”Who do you think would be the ideal next owner? “The unique thing about Axholme is that it would work for many types of owners. A large family needing extra space, intergenerational families given the potential for separate living in the annexe, or for a smaller family such as a couple who love to host gatherings or benefit from leisure facilities. The house is move in ready, but it also might suit an owner who wants to adapt the house to suit their needs and style such as adding an upstairs balcony to look over the garden.” What’s your favourite room and why? “Each member of the family would answer differently. For the children, the sunken trampoline and zip wire in the garden would be their favourite feature but as our daughter gets a little older, she loves her own space in her bedroom and the ample space for sleepovers. As a couple, one of us would choose the large patio outside the kitchen as it is a great hosting space and a sun trap from early to late in the year. The other one of us would choose the characterful drawing room where you can read a book in front of the fire and place the most amazing Christmas tree in the bay window. Another personal favourite for us all is the circular bench at the back of the garden under the largest tree in the garden, from which you can look back on the house while listening to the pond's waterfall.”Memorable/remarkable event? “Too many to list, including legendary New Years parties, milestone birthday celebrations, frequent family barbeques and most recently hosting a family wedding in marquees designed to take in the beauty of the garden space. Christmas is also of course the highlight of each year.“What do you love about the house the most now? “That it feels like a personal and peaceful sanctuary, away from the busyness of life while always feeling like home. Also, that it has become the heart of our wider family as it is the perfect home to get everyone together.“What do you love about the local community? “It is such a friendly, welcoming community with such lovely neighbours. We also love that the quaint village of Oxton is so close and that we are close to excellent schools and children's activities. Living on the Wirral also offers us as a family so much access to walks and nature. We regularly enjoy trips to the beach, woods and farms in the local area.”What you’ll miss most? “We love the area and community so much that we do not intend to move far so we don't have to miss out on that. But we will miss the homely grandeur of the house and the flexibility to host many gatherings, and most of all the garden as well as the light that pours into our living spaces.”Additional Information Services: Mains water, electricity, gas and drainage.

OFFERS IN EXCESS OF £925,000 WITH 6 ACRES OF LANDALTERNATIVELY, OFFERED AT OFFERS IN EXCESS OF £1,600,000 WITH A TOTAL OF 111 ACRESBrynmeheryn – The Hill of the RamF Substantial Character Residence with Far-Reaching Views over the Cambrian Mountains Cors Caron, West Wales A House of History, Hearth, and HeritageSet high above Cors Caron in the wild beauty of West Wales, Brynmeheryn – “the Hill of the Ram” – is a property unlike any other. A home of immense character and deep historic roots, it offers not just a place to live, but a place to belong. A sanctuary of stories, artistry, and soulful connection to land and legacy. Inhabited since Roman times, the land surrounding Brynmeheryn once held five hafods – traditional Welsh dwellings – evidencing centuries of continuous habitation. The main house was built in 1650, its original slate and stone form weathered beautifully over time. In 1790, the estate was purchased by the Reverend Richard Hughes, who added the elegant front elevations seen today. At that time, the property commanded some 5,000 acres, making it one of the region’s most substantial holdings.Over the centuries, Brynmeheryn has evolved from a pastoral estate into a beacon for creativity and culture. Most intriguingly, the house later became home to the artist Monica Rawlins, who produced some of her finest work here. It is widely believed that the famous and flamboyant artist Augustus John—known for his romantic entanglements as much as his art—purchased the house for Monica, so he could visit discreetly for their romantic interludes. The very walls breathe with the energy of this bohemian chapter.Later, the property passed to Nicholas Luard, co-founder of Private Eye, whose legacy of wit and social commentary echoed through the valley. His wife, Elisabeth Luard—the acclaimed food writer and cook—found inspiration here for her celebrated work A Cook’s Year in a Welsh Farmhouse. Her writing immortalised the house as a place of wild foraging, fireside feasts, and a deeply rooted connection to the land. Meals at Brynmeheryn were made from what the seasons offered: mushrooms from the woods, sorrel from the streambanks, nettles from the hedgerows, and venison from the surrounding valleys. The house itself stands as a testament to timelessness. With slate floors underfoot, thick stone walls, and views that stretch across the Cambrian uplands, Brynmeheryn holds a quiet power. It has been a family home, an artists’ retreat, and a gathering place for generations—fondly remembered by locals who once filled the great hall with music, food, and conversation. To live here is to inherit a story that spans centuries—from Roman settlements to romantic escapades, literary milestones to culinary masterpieces. For those seeking something truly rare—a home that holds both heritage and heart, nature and narrative—Brynmeheryn offers not just bricks and mortar, but memory, meaning, and magic.Welcome to Brynmeheryn, an exceptional detached period residence set within a picturesque rural setting, enjoying breath-taking views over the Cors Caron National Nature Reserve and the wider Cambrian Mountains, while still being conveniently situated approximately 25 minutes from the university town of Aberystwyth.
