Capel DewiLlandysul, Ceredigion, SA44 4PS

Alltyrodyn Hall is a substantial three storey late Georgian Grade II* listed country house thought to date c.1820s built in the style of the famous architect John Nash and retaining many original features throughout. It is believed that the Alltyrodyn Estate was the sixth largest in the county in 1873. The listing describes it as “…the largest and most monumental country house in this part of Cardiganshire/ Carmarthenshire.”

The house has been attentively restored by its current owners, to create a perfect harmony of contemporary style and Georgian grandeur. A home worthy of its listed accolade; worthy of a family seeking the exceptional. The house offers purchasers an opportunity to acquire one of the famous houses of Wales either as a home and/or to explore other commercial avenues including boutique B&B, hotel, wedding venue etc (subject to planning).

The Hall began its life in Capel Dewi as part of an estate formed for the Lloyd family, believed to date back to the early 1800s. However, the estate and grounds are believed to have been a site for property since the 17th century. A number of the property's original features remain, including an original window (unearthed by the current owners during their renovations) and an impressive oak fireplace in the entrance hall, thought to date back to circa 1600. Various parts of the home encompass original materials - deemed to be of the finest quality during their time - including large slate floors and original oak timbers, sash and stained glass windows, original shutters, and intricate coving details throughout. To date - and testament to its current owners' magnitudinal restoration efforts - the home has been transformed into a more accessible accommodation, with the inclusion of new central heating and plumbing systems, a commercial fire alarm system and a lift.

Situated over three storeys and spanning a staggering 13,000 sq ft plus, Alltyrodyn Hall offers prospective new owners the chance to raise their family and host their guests in one of the most prestigious and luxurious buildings in the country.

Accommodation Ground Floor
The ground floor incorporates an impressive entrance hall with the focal original fireplace, leading further towards the inner hall with a grand wide staircase up to the first floor. Within the ground floor lie reception rooms of varying proportions, two of which have been restored to function as a library and a bar area. The remaining rooms include a formal dining room, drawing room, snug and pantry, plus a majestic ballroom - perfect for hosting guests or celebrating special occasions. The kitchen, with adjoining scullery and larder, is found towards the rear of the home located around the outdoor courtyard. These rooms in particular have been renovated by the current owners using traditional methods - including hand-crafted lime render - to bring the former service range back to life from its former dilapidation. Originally containing a servants hall, salting room, dairy, brew house and laundry room, this space is now usable; even the roofs have been replaced and restored. A cloakroom with WC are situated just off the inner hall. Each space can be tailored to best suit the requirements of your family.

First Floor
The first floor incorporates a total of eight bedrooms, (one currently used as a sitting room) including a magnificent master suite with adjoining en-suite bathroom facilities. A family bathroom and separate shower room serve the remaining bedrooms. With a property of this magnitude, the number of bedrooms available provides a consummate blueprint for the needs of your family - whatever they may be. From playrooms to home offices, the sheer expanse of space will allow you to conceive anything you envision from your new home.

Second Floor
The second-floor attic was once utilised as two self-contained apartments, providing provisions for six bedrooms, two additional bathrooms, and two former kitchen areas. It now provides five further bedrooms, sitting room, billiard room, wet room and a cloak room.

Wine Cellar
With character wine bins.

Externally
Rear Courtyard & Bell Tower
To the rear of the house is the old courtyard and bell tower. The courtyard has been restored and provides extra storage rooms with one of the rooms being used as a gymnasium.

Old Coach House & Stables
Located just to the north of the house and dated 1840, the old double coach house and stables are attractive buildings that currently provide six traditional stalls, five loose boxes, an old tack room, store rooms, garaging/machinery storage and loft. These buildings also offer potential for conversion to other uses subject to planning.

Note: The stable block at the north end is attached to the old Home Farmhouse that is in third party ownership together with the old Home Farm barns (marked by the smaller area with yellow boundary just to the north-west of the main house on the land plan).

Gardens, Grounds & Woodland
The property enjoys beautiful and private gardens and grounds with a stunning tree lined driveway, mature trees and woodland, shrubs, bushes, flower beds and woodland walks. Away from the house is a large walled garden together with an adjacent old walled kitchen garden. A rare and stunning old Georgian Bath House can also be found within the gardens and symbolises the deep history of the property. The property also owns attractive pastureland that runs down to the River Clettwr. In all, the property extends to about 32 acres (stms – subject to measured survey).

South Lodge
The old south Lodge is situated by the gate piers of the main entrance. It is currently in a dilapidated condition but is ripe for restoration.

Fishing & Shooting Rights
We understand that the property has the benefit of fishing rights on the River Clettwr for about 1 mile (stms) and shooting rights on Brynclettwr Farm, about 151 acres (stms) and Bryngoleu Woods, about 52 acres – (stms).
