Tanygroes (Near Aberporth & Tresaith), Cardigan

A Once-in-a-Generation Opportunity – A Stately Georgian Masterpiece Set Within 20 Acres of Private Parkland.

Description - Discreetly positioned amidst approximately 20 acres of pristine, landscaped grounds, this majestic three-storey Georgian mansion represents a rare fusion of heritage, elegance, and untapped potential. Steeped in history and offering total seclusion with effortless accessibility, the principal residence extends to circa 6,000 sq ft, with the added prestige of approved planning permission for a substantial Orangery, perfectly designed to complement its timeless west-facing façade.

The interiors are a testament to refined country living, featuring an exquisite function room for grand receptions, a library, an opulent dining hall, and nine luxurious bedrooms, five of which have been completed to an exceptional standard. Historically operated as an exclusive-use retreat and boutique hospitality venue, the property exudes an air of understated grandeur, offering discerning purchasers a unique canvas to realise their vision.

Ideally suited for a number of prestigious pursuits — including a private family estate, a discreet wellness or executive retreat, a destination wedding venue of the highest calibre, a boutique country house hotel, or a fine dining estate with luxury accommodation — the possibilities here are as limitless as they are inspiring.

In a world where true privacy and provenance are increasingly rare, this distinguished estate stands as a beacon of elegance, heritage, and opportunity — a sanctuary of timeless beauty, awaiting its next custodian.

The property extends to approximately 20 acres, comprising a diverse and well-maintained mix of grounds and natural features, including:

Landscaped Gardens – Attractively designed with mature planting and seasonal interest, offering a tranquil setting and enhancing the overall appeal of the estate.

Historic Walled Fruit Garden – A rare and characterful feature, ideal for heritage fruit cultivation and protected growing.

Polytunnel & Substantial Vegetable Growing Area – Well-established facilities for self-sufficiency, hobby farming, or small-scale horticultural enterprise.

Woodland, Stream & Pond – A mix of mature woodland and water features supports biodiversity, provides a peaceful retreat, and contributes to the property's environmental value and charm.
