Description
Introducing Llanfair Lodge, Llandysul
The History
Steeped in nearly three centuries of history, Llanfair Lodge is an exceptional Georgian country residence of rare provenance. Dating back approximately 280 years, this distinguished former hunting, shooting and fishing lodge formed part of the historic Llanfair Mansion Estate, enjoying a commanding position above the River Teifi. One of the lodge’s original windows originates from the dentist’s practice at 7 Harley Street, London, providing a rare and tangible link to Britain’s architectural heritage.
Stone-built and elegantly proportioned, the lodge occupies an elevated setting with sweeping views across the Teifi Valley, set within approximately 2.5 acres of gardens, productive land and riverside meadows. The position offers both privacy and drama, with the ever-changing landscape providing a remarkable backdrop throughout the seasons.
The property’s sporting legacy is well documented. An article in the Western Mail (1941) records Captain Jameson landing the season’s first salmon from “Llanfair Lodge waters”, confirming the home’s long-standing association with the river and the enduring quality of its fishing rights well into the 20th century. This rich narrative places Llanfair Lodge among the most historically compelling homes in the area.
The Accommodation
Inside, Llanfair Lodge has been thoughtfully arranged to maximise natural light and to frame views of the gardens and surrounding countryside. On entering, a welcoming reception hall and charming library hall immediately set the tone, offering a quiet and characterful space ideal for reading, study or home working. From here, the ground floor flows into a series of generous reception rooms, including a spacious sitting room, a distinguished dining room and a well-appointed kitchen and breakfast room, complemented by a pantry and secondary back kitchen. The layout is well suited to both everyday living and entertaining.
The layout provides four bedrooms, each well proportioned and thoughtfully arranged, supported by modern bathroom facilities. The interiors have been sensitively updated to balance contemporary comfort with the home’s period character, with light, neutral finishes sitting comfortably alongside traditional features to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The Grounds
The gardens and grounds are a particular highlight. Mature trees, expansive lawns and established planting provide structure, privacy and beauty, while riverside meadows enhance the sense of space and connection to nature. There are numerous areas ideal for outdoor dining, quiet reflection or entertaining, and the grounds remain both generous and manageable. A private driveway provides ample parking for several vehicles.
Despite its tranquil and secluded feel, Llanfair Lodge is conveniently positioned just outside Llandysul, where a good range of local amenities can be found, including shops, cafés, schools, a leisure centre and everyday services. Road links connect easily to Newcastle Emlyn, Lampeter and Carmarthen, with the beautiful Ceredigion coastline also within comfortable reach.
Llanfair Lodge presents a rare opportunity to acquire a historically significant country home that combines heritage, lifestyle and location in equal measure. Its architectural pedigree, beautiful setting and versatile accommodation make it particularly appealing to those relocating from more urban areas or seeking a distinctive home with space, privacy and character in the heart of West Wales.
