A very rare opportunity to buy a substantial part of an historic Grade 2
Listed Manor House set in around 5 acres of superb grounds (part of which will
be communal gardens for the four properties onsite) overlooking the beautiful
River Teifi on one of its loveliest stretches. Conditional Listed Building
Consent (Ref ; 22/0964/lb) has recently been achieved (May 23) - see details
attached, to subdivide the House into four units, one of the four has now been
sold with two others currently available. This listing is to be called Castle
House and is the larger of the two available (see the other listing for the
smaller property for £295, 000 called Hammett House). Castle House has 8
bedrooms with 6 ensuite bathrooms and is on three floors which includes a 2
bed self contained flat on the top floor. The first and second floors are in
good condition whilst the ground floor will need some remedial works to
accommodate the various alterations as required by the subdivision and the
Listed Building Consent. This property will have its own gardens as well as
right of access to the extensive landscaped communal gardens surrounding the
House. A Management Company has been set up called Castell Malgwyn Management
Company to handle the affairs of the four properties involved. Enjoy owning
and living in part of an historic Country House situated a short drive to the
coast and located in a beautiful setting.
_Ground Floor_
_General Information - Castle House_
As can be seen from the pictures on Castle House the majority of the ground
floor and none of the first floor need work at all, however the second floor
could use a refresh to bring it back up to current standards.
Parts of the ground floor would need work done to make a nicer main entrance
for Castle House and to install a kitchen and to do various other alterations
as required by the planning consents.
As well as private gardens (marked in green on the attached map) the new
owners of Castle House would also enjoy full use of the large communal Manor
House gardens.
Castle House will have its own mains electric supply, mains water and a
communally shared private drainage arrangement.
In addition to the Listed Building Consent the standard Planning Consents have
also recently been obtained in circa June 2023.
_History of the House_
The present house was constructed c. 1795 for Sir Benjamin Hammet, a wealthy
entrepreneur from Taunton, Somerset, who bought the estate in 1791. It is
built in three storeys of local Cilgerran stone with a hipped slate roof, a
five - bay frontage and a two - storey wing. It replaced a previous house and was
originally named Castle Malgwyn.
Hammet, who founded and co - owned the bank of Esdaile, Hammet & Co. Was elected
mp for his home town of Taunton in 1782.
After Hammet's death in 1802 the estate passed to his son, John. On John's
early death in 1811 the house contents were sold. When Sir Benjamin's wife
Lady Louisa died in 1824 the estate was sold to Abel Anthony Gower of
Glandovan, who let the property. On Gower's death in 1837 his nephew, Abel
Lewes Gower, inherited and moved in, investing a large amount of money on
improving the property. When he also died young in 1849 his widow remained in
residence until her own death in 1886, when it passed to Abel Lewes's brother,
Robert Frederick Gower, who had also inherited Glandovan from their father.
Castell Malgwyn passed down in the Gower family until it was sold in 1948, and
became a hotel in 1962.
The house was renamed Hammet House in 2012 in recognition of the original
owner.
