Description

Trawsgoed Mansion is a Grade II* listed Georgian house situated in an unspoiled valley in Cardiganshire, Wales. The property, formerly the seat of the Earls of Lisburne, has a rich history dating back to the 13th century and offers a rare opportunity to acquire a truly historic home. The mansion is approached through impressive gates and leads to a long private drive, surrounded by lime trees, before reaching the beautifully balanced 17th-century facade. The house boasts 3 storeys with 9 bays, with a slate roof and clustered chimney stacks. The pediment contains a painted coat of arms, and the central ionic porch leads to panelled double doors and a bracketed architrave. The 12-pane sash windows and later casements provide ample natural light. The rear of the house features roundheaded windows with blind boxes, cornice, and a tall parapet pierced by roundheaded openings. The interior of the house is just as impressive, with a baroque library featuring an ornate guilt and plastered domed ceiling, commissioned in 1832. The hall and drawing room boast French doors opening to the formal gardens, and the renovation work has been completed using traditional craftsmanship and lime plaster to restore the property to its former glory. Throughout the years, the house has been occupied by royalty, dignitaries, and luminaries of the political world, including Edward VII, Edward VIII, and Sir Winston Churchill. The property offers the opportunity to continue the fine restoration of this magnificent Georgian mansion and is a rare chance to own a piece of history.
