Stunning country manor with cottages and over 500 acres of land for sale for £4.5m
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has arisen to purchase a historic country estate near the north Wales coast. The property is so special it was designated as Grade II* listed by Cadw in 1952 for being an "important 18th-century Welsh country house retaining fine external character and good 18th-century interior detailing". The Garthewin Estate is a charming and historic 507-acre country estate situated above the Elwy River Valley that has been in existence on this beautiful spot, in one form or another, for more than 600 years. But it's not just the impressive features, grand rooms, and period interiors that The Hall at the centre of the estate offers an owner as there's a long list of extras that makes this an outstanding place to call home – including multiple income streams.

The property provides an immediate income from its cottages, farmstead, farmland, and woodland as well as potential for diverse usage and income streams including equestrian activities, a country retreat, or glamping. Garthewin was the ancestral home of Robert Wynne and his descendants who resided in the area for more than 11 centuries. The Wynne family's stewardship concluded in 1996 when the current owner purchased the property as their primary residence. The first written records of the house date back to the 14th century. It was replaced by an Elizabethan house that was then itself replaced by the Jacobean house. The present incarnation of Garthewin dates back to 1767, designed by architect Joseph Turner of Chester, with several 20th-century additions by Clough Williams Ellis, the creator of nearby Portmeirion. In 1870 a tower was added to accommodate a ballroom, which now serves as the main reception room. The Hall is recognised as being one of Wales' most significant country houses, retaining fine external character and good interior detailing. Outside the elegant nine-bay house is made of stucco, featuring a neoclassical pediment spanning three bays, while inside the interiors oozes with period character including marble fireplaces, intricate cornicing, exquisite panelling, and plasterwork details in the style of Robert Adams. But the Garthewin Estate is home to more than just this incredible home because as well as the tenanted cottages and houses there's a chapel and a range of traditional outbuildings nestled in the heart of the estate that could become more accommodation if planning allows. The Garthewin estate boasts a truly splendid location, situated between the coastal town of Conwy and the market town of Denbigh, and just a few miles from the coast. The Hall itself enjoys a sheltered position halfway up a south-facing hill, enveloped in lush greenery and boasting mesmerising panoramic views in every direction.
