Rare opportunity to create your own home within a Grade II listed country House.
Description
Hammet House is a rare opportunity to create your own home within a Grade II listed country house called Castell Malgwyn in Llechryd, west Wales.
Background history of the house from its Listing: “Castle Malgwyn was built for Sir Benjamin Hammet who took over the Penygored tinworks in the 1790s. The house was originally called Ty Mawr Y Gwaith, the reputed castle site being further east at Castle Malgwyn Farm. Sir Benjamin Hammet died in 1801-2. The works were dismantled and the estate sold to Abel A Gower of Glandovan circa 1808. He died in 1837, and his son, Abel Lewes Gower (d.1849) built the stables and lodge. His widow planned to remodel the house in 'castellated style' in the 1860s, and plans were once at the house for a remodelling by Ambrose Poynter of London (supposedly of c.1840) but neither scheme was carried out…Circa 1795 country house built for Sir Benjamin Hammet in connection with the tin-plate works that stood N of the house on the site of the stables.”
Castell Malgwyn gained conditional Listed Building consent and conditional Full Planning consent in 2023 for a change of use from a hotel and to subdivide the property into four residential dwellings, shown within these details as Dwellings 01, 02, 03 & 04. The proposed scheme has been developed through careful analysis of the building, its landscape and its history. The property has undergone a number of building phases since the 17th century, which transformed the farm house into a country residence. This visible chronology has been crucial in determining how the proposed subdivision could be achieved. Both internally and externally, the proposal seeks to re-establish historic spaces that have been lost through the last half of the 20th century. The removal of large exterior additions aims to open up elevations and draw natural light into the central areas of the plan. Interior partitions are removed to restore the proportions of the internal suite of rooms on both ground and first floor.
One of the units (Dwelling 01) is being retained by the vendors, another has been sold (Dwelling 04) leaving two available (Dwellings 02 and 03). Dwelling 03 will be called Hammet House and is the smaller of the two available. The larger six bedroom property (Dwelling 02) will be called Castle House and has a Guide Price of £495,000. Please see separate website listing for details of that property.
Hammet House (Dwelling 03) accommodation
The accommodation is set within the body of the house and is set out across two floors. The principal accommodation rooms are located on the ground floor with access from the west courtyard and garden access to the south. All bedrooms are on the first floor via an accommodation stair with access to the upper south terrace. The main bedroom and en suite occupy the larger footprint with two smaller bedrooms rooms sharing a family bathroom adjacent to a library space.
Proposed Ground Floor: Entrance Hall, Drawing room, Kitchen dining room, Pantry and utility, Orangery, Covered Courtyard.
Proposed First Floor: Main bedroom, En suite, Bedroom 2, Bedroom 3, Family Bathroom, Library.
There is also a cellar that would make a useful workshop etc.
Reconfiguration, renovation and fit-out works will be required to create the above property. Photographs show rooms as they appear now. Computer generated images and artist’s impressions are for identification, reference and illustrative purposes only.
Kitchen Dining Room Highlight
The historic kitchen is the feature of Dwelling 03, with natural daylight from the west and connection from the sitting room and entrance to the south. A doorway leads to the orangery in the east with access to the courtyard and gardens beyond.
Externally
The property will have its own separate garden area as well as right of access to the extensive landscaped communal gardens surrounding the country house. A Management Company has been set up called Castell Malgwyn Management Company to handle the management of the four properties involved.
West Courtyard Highlight
The west courtyard provides access and parking to Dwellings 02, 03 and 04. The projected main entrance to Dwelling 02 will be on the north facade, with a covered side entrance from the west. The glazed porch to the south of the courtyard is the main entrance to Dwelling 03, with further access provided from the upper terrace in the garden.
South Garden Courtyard Highlight
The south facing courtyard garden will have divided ownership between Dwellings 02 and 03 with access from both drawing rooms.
Access and Parking
Dwellings 02, 03, and 04 approach the west courtyard via the track that skirts the northern edge of the site. Dwellings 03 and 04 park in the west courtyard, while projected new parking provision for Dwelling 02 sits against the north facade. Dwelling 01 maintains use of the historic primary approach track to the east. The landscape of the wider estate – consisting of parkland and woodlands - is seen as a shared amenity for use by all dwellings.

Broadband availability and predicted speed
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
