8 bed detached house for sale

Llangoedmor, Cardigan SA43

One of West Wales' Most Important Country Houses. A Rare Opportunity of Exceptional Architectural Distinction.

Plas Treforgan stands apart. A Grade II* listed Regency country house of national architectural significance, officially described as:

"One of a small group of remarkable Nash-inspired country houses in Dyfed which have survived in largely unaltered form."

This is not simply a fine home. It is a piece of Welsh history, a place of genuine rarity, and an opportunity that comes to the market perhaps once in a generation. Dating to circa 1832 and set within approximately 14.6 acres of landscaped grounds, gardens, pastureland and ancient woodland, Plas Treforgan has been lovingly restored and preserved by its current owners over thirty years. The result is a house of extraordinary character and presence - yet one that functions beautifully as a warm, comfortable family home. Extending to almost 9,000 sq ft across principal house and outbuildings, the accommodation is as impressive as the setting.

Location

Set in the hamlet of Llangoedmor in the historic county of Ceredigion, Plas Treforgan sits just 1.5 miles from the award-winning market town of Cardigan with its restored castle, independent shops, restaurants and schools. The village of Llechryd lies two miles distant with its local amenities.
The River Teifi flows close by, eventually reaching Poppit Sands beach and Cardigan Bay approximately five miles away. To the north, the Ceredigion Heritage Coastline delivers mile upon mile of dramatic cliff walking and unspoilt beaches. To the south, the internationally renowned Pembrokeshire Coast National Park offers some of Britain's finest coastal scenery.
Carmarthen and the A48 M4 link road are approximately 26 miles, placing Swansea within an hour and Cardiff within two. The Severn Bridge and the wider motorway network lie beyond - making Plas Treforgan considerably more accessible than its idyllic seclusion might suggest.

Reception Hall (5.19m x 2.69m)

Arrival at Plas Treforgan is a statement in itself. A grand colonnaded entrance with fanlight above the front door opens into a breathtaking reception hall - flagstone floors underfoot, vaulted ceilings above, and elegant arches framing the space with effortless authority. This is a hall that sets the tone for everything that follows.
