Property description
Pantlludw offers a rare opportunity to acquire a small estate dating from the Regency period, beautifully crafted in the picturesque style of its time and remarkably little altered since. Passed down through generations, the house and gardens have preserved their original charm and character - a true period treasure tucked away in a secluded corner of southern Snowdonia.
The gardens are a defining feature, blending formal landscaping with mature trees and an outstanding collection of rhododendrons and azaleas that burst into vibrant colour each spring. A magnificent ancient yew, expanses of woodland and pasture, and a tranquil private lake at the estate's highest point complete this idyllic setting. The grounds, rich in wildlife, command breath-taking views across the Dyfi Estuary and the surrounding countryside. Well stocked and thoughtfully maintained, they will delight gardening enthusiasts and those interested in woodland management alike.
Set in approximately 97 acres, the property includes around 21 acres of woodland held on a 999-year lease with Natural Resources Wales. An additional 52 acres of land are leased to a neighbouring farmer on a renewable 12-month agreement.
Pantlludw itself is a captivating, detached Grade II Listed four-bedroom residence, built in the early 19th century from traditional coursed rubble under a slated roof. Approached via a gated private driveway, this elegant Regency-style home exudes character and individuality, with ample parking for several vehicles.
In the same family's ownership for generations, the house was sympathetically extended in the early 20th century to provide an extra bedroom and bathroom. It retains a wealth of period features, including exposed wooden floorboards, original fireplaces, an appealing mix of sash, leaded, and stained-glass windows, and a charming veranda along the south-eastern elevation. The spacious rooms offer a comfortable and adaptable layout throughout.
Modern comforts include LPG gas-fired central heating, a private water supply, and a newly installed sewage treatment plant (2025). Outbuildings comprise a garage and a potting shed.
Accommodation summary: entrance porch, hallway, dining room, sitting room, study, kitchen, laundry room, bathroom, pantry, and a scullery with stairs leading to bedroom one.
The first floor offers a landing, three further bedrooms, and a second bathroom.
Pantlludw is a unique and seldom available property in an exceptional location. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that this enchanting estate has to offer.
