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.
