Rare Grade II country estate with river frontage and established holiday cottages.
Grade II listed 17th-century mansion with significant historic character
Dolhaidd Mansion is a substantial Grade II listed 17th-century estate occupying a massive plot with a private stretch of the River Teifi and formal grounds. The principal house retains period character across 17 bedrooms (total approx. 20 rooms) and 3,873 sq ft of living space, while stone outbuildings — a stable block, coach house and an ice house — add scope for equestrian use or sympathetic conversion.
The estate already includes four successful holiday cottages (three two-bed, one three-bed), providing an established income stream and immediate visitor accommodation for the river, walking and wildlife attractions. For an investor or operator, the river frontage, rural seclusion and tourism appeal give clear potential to grow hospitality earnings or develop events, retreats or specialist lodgings subject to listed-building consent.
There are important practical considerations: the Grade II listing will restrict changes and may complicate redevelopment works; historic fabric will require ongoing maintenance. Broadband speeds are very slow and the property lies in a remote, agriculturally classified area with a very deprived local economy, which may affect some rental markets. Council tax and running costs are described as very expensive.
In short, Dolhaidd Mansion is a rare, character-rich country estate with immediate holiday-let income and broad potential for heritage-led business use. Buyers should budget for listed-building constraints, maintenance and infrastructure upgrades, and consider how remote location and local services affect their intended use.
