Hafod Y Bryn A, Llanbedr

A Third of a Grand Period Manor House with Endless Potential and rich in literacy history.

Set within tranquil grounds, this substantial portion of an impressive manor house offers a rare opportunity to create a truly distinguished home. Bursting with period charm and original architectural details, the property retains high ceilings, ornate cornicing, sash windows and feature fireplaces throughout.

Although the accommodation would benefit from modernisation, it provides an exceptional canvas for imaginative renovation and restoration. Generously proportioned rooms allow for flexible living arrangements, while the property enjoys lovely views over substantial mature gardens and surrounding countryside and even a slice of your own private woodlands.

Originally built as a rectory, Hafod Y Bryn was extended in the late 19th Century to serve as a holiday retreat for the prosperous London barrister, Samuel John Pope QC. In the 1950's the property was divided into 3 separate dwellings.

The house further boasts a rich literary connection. Beatrix Potter stayed here during the summer of 1905, documenting her visit in "A Holiday Diary". Throughout the property there are numerous charming stained glass windows featuring unusual characters believed to have inspired some of Potter's beloved tales.

Representing a unique chance to own part of a historic residence, this character home combines grandeur, space and scope in equal measure — perfect for those seeking a rewarding project with unmistakable heritage appeal.
