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.

Approached via a sweeping tarmacadam driveway flanked by mature planting and well-tended lawned gardens, Pontfaen presents with immediate presence and kerb appeal. The property has been thoughtfully extended and upgraded over the years to create a substantial, flexible home that functions beautifully whether hosting 22 guests or welcoming a large family for a permanent change of pace.There are properties, and then there are opportunities. Pontfaen is emphatically the latter — and unusually, it is three opportunities in one.Set within approximately one acre of beautifully maintained grounds along a quiet country lane between the villages of Cribyn and Dihewyd, this substantial ten-bedroom country residence is one of the most versatile and compelling property acquisitions to reach the West Wales market in years. Whatever your ambition, Pontfaen has an answer.Opportunity One — The InvestmentPontfaen is currently operating as a thriving, fully-equipped holiday let accommodating up to 22 guests in the main house — rising to 28 with the included lodge-style static caravan. The business generates approximately £150,000 per annum in turnover, supported by an established website, strong forward bookings, and a bespoke leisure suite that drives premium nightly rates and exceptional repeat custom. Offered as a going concern,with fixtures, fittings, and future bookings available by separate negotiation, this is a rare opportunity to acquire an income-producing hospitality business in a proven Welsh tourism destination.Opportunity Two — The Family HomeStrip away the holiday let operation and what remains is one of the most extraordinary family homes available anywhere in mid-Wales. Ten bedrooms. Multiple reception rooms. A banqueting kitchen capable of seating 22. A master suite with French doors to the garden. A private hot tub, sauna, and leisure suite. Over an acre of gardens and grounds. A self-contained lodge caravan for extended family, guests, or an au pair. Pontfaen is the rare kind of home that genuinely accommodates multi-generational family living — the kind of space where grandparents, parents, adult children, and grandchildren can each have their own place within a shared and cherished family estate.Opportunity Three — The Portfolio ExpansionFor those with vision and a larger budget, there is more. Across the lane sits a separate and optional glamping acquisition: a three-acre site with three barrel-style pods already operational and returning income, planning permission for a further three units, and a stunning natural lake at its heart. Available by separate negotiation, this third opportunity transforms Pontfaen from a single strong asset into the foundation of a genuinely significant West Wales hospitality portfolio.

A Remarkable Creative Retreat in the West Wales CountrysideHidden within beautiful landscaped grounds and surrounded by the rolling scenery of West Wales, Paradise House is an extraordinary lifestyle property that offers something genuinely rare — a home designed not simply for living, but for inspiration.Created and lovingly developed by internationally recognised recording artists Llewellyn and Juliana, the property has evolved into a peaceful private retreat centred around creativity, wellness, music, art and nature. From the moment the current owners first arrived at the property, they fell in love with both the atmosphere and the setting — a feeling that has shaped everything they have created here since.Previously featured on Escape to the Country, Paradise House combines flexible upside-down style accommodation with an exceptional range of lifestyle amenities including a detached art gallery, studio spaces, cinema room, swim spa wellness pavilion, entertaining terraces, vineyard areas, specimen trees and beautifully established grounds with far-reaching countryside views stretching towards the coast.Believed to date originally from around 1850 with Georgian origins, the property has evolved sympathetically over time, with an extension added in the 1950s and a significant contemporary extension completed in 2007. The current owners further adapted the internal accommodation in 2010 to create the lifestyle-focused layout seen today, while the impressive external studio buildings, wellness spaces and extensive decking areas were added more recently, further enhancing the property’s remarkable versatility and appeal.This is not a conventional country home. It is a sanctuary.The property has been carefully arranged to maximise light, outlook and privacy. Enjoying a wonderful south-facing orientation, Paradise House benefits from sunshine throughout the day together with breathtaking elevated views across the surrounding valleys. Expansive glazing, balconies and entertaining terraces blur the boundaries between the home and the landscape beyond, creating an atmosphere of complete tranquillity and connection with nature.Inside, the accommodation is versatile, stylish and highly individual. The cinema room provides a superb relaxation space, while the dramatic open-plan dining and snug area offers stripped timber flooring, wonderful natural light and an atmosphere more reminiscent of a creative retreat than a traditional residence. The magnificent sitting room opens directly onto a balcony with panoramic views across the Ceredigion countryside, creating a spectacular entertaining environment.The lower ground floor accommodation adds yet another layer of flexibility, incorporating a luxurious principal bedroom suite with dressing area and ensuite facilities together with additional lifestyle accommodation currently used as creative and studio spaces.Outside, Paradise House truly separates itself from almost anything else currently available in West Wales.The detached Paradise Gallery offers a stunning contemporary exhibition and studio environment with professional lighting, climate-controlled comfort and enormous lifestyle potential — ideal as an artist’s studio, wellness suite, creative workspace, consulting space or luxury home office.Alongside this is the remarkable swim spa pavilion — a superb wellness and relaxation environment with extensive glazing, entertaining deck and elevated views over the gardens and surrounding countryside.The grounds themselves are wonderfully private and beautifully established, featuring mature specimen trees, landscaped areas, entertaining terraces, vineyard planting and a peaceful atmosphere that perfectly reflects the creative spirit of the home.The property also benefits from a modernised solar and battery system, extensive parking and excellent accessibility to the Cardigan Bay coastline and wider West Wales lifestyle attractions.Paradise House will not appeal to everybody — and that is precisely its strength.This is a home for somebody seeking inspiration, privacy, creativity, wellbeing and a deeper connection to landscape and lifestyle. A property equally suited to artists, musicians, wellness entrepreneurs, remote professionals or buyers searching for an extraordinary lifestyle change in one of the UK’s most beautiful coastal regions.
