Abermeurig Mansion

GENERAL

The offering of Abermeurig Mansion on the market provides prospective purchasers with an unique opportunity of acquiring an exceptional country property within the unspoilt rural countryside of West Wales. We are informed that the first records of the Mansion date back to the late 1500's - early 1600's and following a major fire the existing house was re-built in 1738 and is now Grade II Listed. The property was originally part of a 3,000 acre Estate.

Previous to the current owners, the property had been in the same family Rogers-Lewis / Edward's since the 1600's until it was acquired by the current owners some 16 years or so ago.

Since acquiring the property the vendors have invested considerable sums in its restoration and refurbishment under the supervision of Conservation Architects working and consulting closely with CADW, The Heritage Body.

Archaeological reports were commissioned to establish the individual Historic feat...
