History

Derwydd Mansion is one of Carmarthenshire’s oldest private Mansion Houses, first appearing in history books of 1485. Once owned by Tudor Knight Sir Rhys ap Thomas, Derwydd was said to have sheltered Henry Tudor on his way to Bosworth. When he landed at Milford Haven to claim the crown from Richard III and end the War of the Roses, he was entertained at Derwydd and supplied with 5,000 Welsh soldiers who marched with him to victory at the Battle of Bosworth. The connection is commemorated in a sculpture of a shield in the King’s Room.
The mansion is a Grade 2* building and in addition there are a number of itemised internal and external features which are individually listed. Some of these include the stained glass windows in the entrance hallway, oak fireplaces and plasterwork in the study and family room, walled garden and gazebo.

Potential

The Mansion has always remained in private ownership and the current owners have done a huge amount of refurbishment during their time, the property having been used as a successful wedding venue, Hollywood film production set and holiday complex so offers huge potential for developing into a variety of uses, subject to obtaining the appropriate consents.
