Our agency team is currently marketing The Garthewin Estate, a stunning and historic 507-acre country estate nestled in the village of Llanfair Talhaiarn, above the Elwy River Valley near Conwy.
Steeped in heritage and architectural grandeur, the estate centres around a Grade II*-listed hall with 11 bedrooms, an adjoining flat, as well as five secondary residential properties, a farmhouse, extensive outbuildings, stabling and a private theatre. It also includes a Grade II-listed chapel featuring a bell tower, altar and stained-glass windows.
The estate’s extensive grounds feature formal gardens, agricultural land and forestry, providing potential for diverse usage or income-generating opportunities subject to planning. The property also offers an immediate income from its cottages and farmstead, as well as its farmland and woodland.
The Garthewin Estate was the family home of Robert Wynne and his successors who lived in the area for at least eleven centuries. The Wynne family’s stewardship ended in 1996 when the current owner acquired the property as a principal residence.
The first written records refer to the house in the 14th century. The Elizabethan house which replaced it was knocked down, as was the Jacobean house which came next.
Garthewin was the ancestral home of the Wynne family for over a millennium. The current Georgian-style hall, designed in 1767 by Joseph Turner of Chester, was later enhanced by Clough Williams-Ellis, the visionary behind Portmeirion. A striking tower was added in 1870 to house the estate’s grand ballroom, today the principal reception room.
Partner, Michael Harris, said: “This is an incredibly rare opportunity to purchase a stunning estate spanning more than 500 acres which enjoys good connections to the commercial centres of the North West.
“The Grade II-listed hall is an important 18th century Welsh country house, retaining fine external character and good interior detailing, while the extensive grounds provide a wealth of potential income-generating opportunities such as an equestrian centre, country retreat or glamping, subject to planning.”
