A 12-bedroom Grade II-listed Georgian manor set in 24 acres is on the market in Penybanc, near Llandeilo.
Llwynhelig, which is listed for £2,500,000, has recently undergone what is described as a 'comprehensive, sympathetic and luxurious restoration' after falling into disrepair, combining period features with modern upgrades.
Dating from around 1826, the manor is reported to have strong heritage links, including being the former home of governess and writer Anne Beale and, more recently, Captain John Francis.
Accommodation in the main house, according to the listing, includes seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms or en suites spread across the first and second floors, connected by a main staircase and several secondary staircases.
Reception rooms retain original Georgian features and provide access to a south-facing orangery with countryside views.

The kitchen, described as 'magnificent,' is located next to the orangery and features two glass-vaulted rooflights, a Welsh dresser, a kitchen island, and modern appliances. Adjoining this, there is a study and a living room with original stone elements. The dining room is said to offer seating for up to 12 guests.
A basement area houses leisure facilities, including a wine cellar, gym, and sauna.
Grounds extend to 24 acres, with a long private driveway leading to extensive parking areas and a Grade II-listed stable range. Restored walled garden and a south-facing lawn are also included within the grounds.
Outbuildings comprise three self-contained apartments – The Captains Cottage, The Stable Loft and the Gardeners Cwtch – offering an additional five bedrooms and three bathrooms. There are also garage and stable facilities.
According to the listing, the outbuildings could be suitable for guest suites, ancillary homes, events, or studio/workspace, and the property is also suitable for equestrian use.
The location is near local amenities, with the market town of Llandeilo around a mile away. There are road and rail links, access to countryside, and a range of local services, as well as riverside walks, outdoor activities, and local festivals.
