Ceredigion, £4 million
onstructed in about 1854 to the designs of the famous Shropshire architect Edward Haycock, Penylan Mansion is situated on the outskirts of the small settlement of Llandygwydd, near Cardigan. One of the finest private estates in Wales, the Grade II*-listed property has been renovated and refurbished over a period of 20 years to the most exacting standards. Reputedly once home to the Queen’s second decorated walls; the ground floor is rounded out by a separate courtyard, as well as a gym and swimming-pool complex. Outside, the grounds sit on the north bank of the River Teifi and feature a wealth of outbuildings that are ripe for conversion into further accommodation.
