In addition, a three-bedroom Coach House is located within the grounds at the foot of the driveway.

The property is listed as Grade II* and dates back to the late 1700s when John Nash built it for Admiral Gell, a close friend of Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton, who is believed to have visited in around 1802. The house boasts exceptional interiors and a host of period features, including high ceilings with decorative coving and plasterwork, panelled doors, and shuttered windows. It was remodelled circa 1850s, which included the addition of an Italianate-style front porch.

This vast home's principal rooms are on the ground and first floors, with former servants' accommodation on the second floor. A lower ground floor provides storage, boiler, and utility rooms, along with the possibility of a self-contained apartment or office suite, or to be designed with your preference in mind.

Llanwysg House occupies approx. 3 acres (STC), including the long, sweeping driveway approached through level lawn gardens, well-stocked mature trees and shrub beds, a private woodland which enjoys annual and perennial flowers and an abundance of bluebells set in amongst the original icehouse structure.

The welcoming three-bedroom detached Coach House at the start of the driveway provides additional accommodation for a housekeeper/gardener for multigenerational living for visits from family/guests or as a holiday let opportunity. The splendid, independent property dates to a similar period as the house with several original features, including exposed timbers, stonewalls and countryside views from every aspect. The Coach House was previously used as a holiday let and has the additional benefit of its private garden, a large gravel area perfect for entertaining, alfresco dining, or enjoying a glass of wine in the evening sun. A further lawned area, which descends with river views and the added benefit of parking to the front, completes this desirable and character home.
