This unique estate, on the market for the first time in a century, encompasses several notable properties and significant land, presenting a range of renovation and investment opportunities. At its heart is Bellan Hall, a Grade II listed former hunting lodge constructed in 1887 for the Chamberlain family. Designed in an unconventional New England style with distinctive clapboarding beneath a slate roof, this property features a charming pyramidal roof above the upstairs bedroom and an open veranda that overlooks beautifully maintained grounds and distant hills.
Surrounding Bellan Hall are approximately 4.15 acres of land filled with mature trees, providing both privacy and natural beauty. The interior reflects its historical origins, featuring a sitting/dining room with an open fire, a kitchen equipped with a wood-burning stove, and three bedrooms including one spacious double upstairs. Though it retains its character, the accommodation offers substantial potential for modernization or reconfiguration to suit contemporary living.
The estate includes Caestwbwrn Farm and Rhosgomorog Farm, which cover 384.88 acres and 311.12 acres respectively. Both farms possess varied agricultural classifications (Grade 3b, 4, and 5), indicating diverse land use possibilities ranging from pasture to woodland management. Caestwbwrn features multiple outbuildings ripe for redevelopment, while Rhosgomorog's farmhouse offers two bedrooms and additional utility buildings that can be repurposed with proper permissions.
Further enhancing the investment potential are other structures on the estate such as Llechwedd Du—a traditional Welsh longhouse—and Pencringoed stone cottage, both of which provide scope for restoration or conversion into separate dwellings or guest accommodations subject to consent. Notably, Cleddan Cottage presents an opportunity for revitalization as well; once occupied, it could serve as an extension to Bellan Hall or as an independent unit.
Woodland areas span over 81 acres across various sections of the estate. These woodlands include both coniferous and broadleaf varieties that not only offer recreational space but also present options for timber production and environmental stewardship initiatives.
Additionally, there is potential revenue from an option agreement with Vattenfall concerning wind turbine placement on part of the estate's hill land—offering possible financial benefits should the project come to fruition.
With rich historical significance intertwined with modern-day practicalities—including existing tenancies that generate rental income—this estate represents a multifaceted investment opportunity in both agricultural pursuits as well as residential development within an attractive rural setting.
