Description

Bryntowy Mansion is an elegant late Georgian Grade II listed country house. According to its listing, it was “Designed in 1830s but not completed until 1850. Built by William Bonville Junior with later alterations, c.1890, to the front and the addition of coach house and stables to rear…listed “for its special architectural interest as a well-preserved mid 19th century small country house.”

The property enjoys an elevated position in the famous Towy valley overlooking the river upon which it enjoys valuable fishing rights. Over the years the property has been sympathetically renovated and refurbished both in the house and the outbuildings to produce a most comfortable period home. The property enjoys extensive outbuildings including a cottage, office, stables and garaging. Set in private gated and landscaped grounds together with fishing, this property is an idyllic historic home.

Accommodation Ground Floor
Steps lead up to the portico entrance and through the front door into the grand reception hall with polished wood flooring, cloakroom and doors leading off to the main reception rooms. On the left is the study, again with polished wood floor, fireplace and bay window overlooking the front garden. To the rear of the study is the dining room with fireplace and wood floor. On the right of the hall is the generous drawing room with fireplace and double aspect views across the front garden through the bay window and upriver. At the far end of the hall on the right is the sitting room with fireplace and views across the side gardens. An inner hall leads past the family room that in turn leads through to a useful store and boot room with door to the rear courtyard. At the end of the inner hall is the kitchen breakfast room with attractive bespoke fitted units, central island, old kitchen cooking range and a smart Aga range providing a warm focal point. A door leads off to a useful utility room with fitted units, together with a cloakroom off and door to the rear courtyard. Stairs lead down from the inner hallway to a cellar.

First Floor
The main staircase rises up from the end of the reception hall to the first floor accommodation passing a beautiful arched window overlooking the rear grounds. The principal bedroom suite is situated in the front of the house enjoying double aspect views across the front gardens and upriver. This generous suite features a fitted dressing room and en suite bathroom. Five further bedrooms are situated on the first floor (one with an en suite bathroom), a further bathroom and shower room.

Externally
Coach House Cottage
To the rear of the main house is a delightful courtyard with the old coach house and stables. The coach house has been tastefully converted into a charming cottage. On the ground floor is a reception hall with shower room off. A large open plan kitchen living room is situated in the centre with sliding doors opening on to the courtyard. A large bedroom lies beyond the living room area. Stairs rise from the reception hall to the first floor where there are two further bedrooms, one with a vaulted ceiling and an en suite bathroom.
