GENERAL
The old Cilbronnau Mansion is thought to have its roots in the 1700's and may well have been a Successor in the locality to an earlier building of some substance. Apparently the mansion was extended in the late Victorian period and part of it was substantially built in the 1930's. Sadly however, shortly after the mansion was demolished. This property now offered for sale comprises of the former farmhouse and farm buildings. Some of the neighbouring mansion cottages and lodges were restored over the years and are under separate ownership.

PLANNING PERMISSION - Planning permission was approved on the 25th March 2019 for a "change of use of the outbuilding across the yard to a dwelling and change of existing dwelling to a holiday let and associated works".

Take note however that this is only to be implemented if the new purchasers decide to go down this route.
