Situation Plas Bronmeurig is situated on the edge of the hamlet of Ystrad Meurig in Ceredigion enjoying an elevated position with far reaching views over to the Cors Caron National Nature Reserve and the Cambrian Mountains. The larger village of Pontrhydfendigaid is only about 2 miles to the south east together with the nearby historic site of a 12th century Cistercian Abbey - Strata Florida Abbey. The small town of Tregaron is about 7.5 miles to the south while the larger administrative and University town of Aberystwyth with its thriving Arts Centre, is about 13 miles to the north- west on the coast with The National Library of Wales, national railway service, General Hospital and high street shops including M&S, Next, Tesco etc.

Description Plas Bronmeurig is an impressive and character Grade II Listed former vicarage with an interesting history. According to its listing by Cadw it is a

“Late Georgian gentry house with probable earlier origins extended in the late C19th. The wing to SW was remodelled in the later C19 but may represent the oldest part of the house, possibly dating back to C17. The unusual position of the main entrance in the south front, the unbalanced plan form and the doorless E garden façade suggests that an earlier structure probably existed against which the current main house was constructed. There are documentary references which may indicate that a house was built here c1800 though the character of the building suggests a somewhat later date. The house appears on the parish register of 1823 as a vicarage and school with 100 boys. The early C18th Welsh scholar Edward Richard is said to have had a room there, indicating a link with Ysgol Edward Richard, later St. John’s College, some 300m along the road.”

It has been a family home for the current owner for many years and offers an exciting opportunity for new owners to continue to use the house in the same vein or perhaps to look at exploring any potential commercial opportunities, for example bed & breakfast etc. Its location, so near to Cors Caron Nature Reserve, a rare birding site, & Teifi Pools, renowned for its trout fishing, attracts regular holiday-makers. The recent establishment of nearby extensive family cycling trails is also proving very popular.
