Grand Georgian House in Montgomeryshire Offered for Under £500,000
A rare opportunity has arisen for those seeking a grand Georgian home in a remote and picturesque location. Situated in Montgomeryshire, a part of Mid-Wales renowned for its natural beauty and tranquility, a Grade II-listed, eight-bedroom Georgian mansion of about 3,691 sq ft, spread over four floors, is available for under £500,000.
This historic property, previously owned by the poet R. S. Thomas, requires significant renovation but offers a unique chance to restore a piece of Mid-Wales' architectural heritage. The house is located in a very remote and rural area, with the nearest sizable town being Welshpool. Despite its isolation, ultra-fast broadband is available, making it suitable for remote working.
The property boasts expansive grounds with large trees such as sequoia and yew, and benefits from private fishing rights on a river running through the estate. This secluded location provides a bucolic setting for outdoor activities and offers a peaceful retreat for those seeking privacy and tranquility.
Welshpool, the nearest town with amenities, provides access to shops and services, while the wider Mid-Wales region offers walking, cycling, and cultural events. This grand Georgian house, with its historic charm and remote rural living, offers a unique blend of character and potential for renovation.
Finding a grand Georgian house under £500,000 in Mid-Wales is quite rare, and typical Georgian homes in the region tend to command higher prices, sometimes exceeding £1 million in nearby attractive areas. Coastal Georgian properties and those closer to urban centers are generally much more expensive.
For those seeking a property in a more urban setting, other notable properties include:
- The Eagles Hotel, a stone-built, nine bedroom home in Penmachno, Snowdonia, currently set up as a pub and a basic hotel/youth hostel.
- A double-fronted, three-bedroom house in Snowdonia, Wales, full of character and original features.

Each of these properties offers a unique blend of character, location, and potential for renovation or modernisation, catering to a variety of tastes and needs. Whether you're seeking a grand Georgian home or a charming cottage, Mid-Wales and the surrounding regions offer a wealth of options for those seeking a new home.
