Country house for sale in Dol Llan Road, Llandysul SA44

Agent’s comments:
Plâs Dol-llan is a quintessential West Wales mansion house with more than its fair share of historical interludes. Situated directly opposite the town of Llandysul it was obviously built to tell the town a story that the person that lived in this house was both moneyed and important. This was most probably a part of what attracted Major Cass to purchase the property in 1910 and during whose ownership the Mansion house played an important part in both the administrative and social life of the town employing many people from within the town and later leading to the Town’s own “who done it”.
The current owners sympathetically refurbished the property in more recent years and the improvement works were clearly completed to a high standard. Currently the property is mixed use with the Mansion House being a 5* Gold Bed & Breakfast establishment with 3 En-suite Bedrooms, adjoining former Servants Quarters now a 2 bedroom family home and the detached Butler’s Cottage a 2 En-suite Bedroom letting cottage. The property is a successful business and a prospective buyer could take this on from my clients with bookings in place and is available fully furnished.
Of note however this property is also eminently suitable for multi-family or multi- generational living as all parts can be occupied on a permanent basis. No part of this property will disappoint with the three separate living spaces of the same high standard throughout. It would also make a delightful family home with its private secure gardens set in rural surroundings and with imposing views over the Church and Town. Also due to the high standard of the improvement works the income generation that is available here is obvious as proven by my clients.
Situated across the river from the Town itself there are 2 independent access drives, one for the Mansion and one for the Butler’s Cottage offering a good degree of self-contained living and privacy. The town of Llandysul is within approximately 1 mile of the Mansion House and provides a good range of facilities and amenities ranging from a Leisure Centre to 3-19 School to Grocery Stores and Garages.
Adjoining and surrounding the property there is just under 1½ acres of Grounds, Gardens and Woodland that includes formal areas, ample parking and natural woodland.
