The Hall at Abbey-Cwm-Hir (nr. Llandrindod Wells)

The Hall at Abbey-Cwm-Hir is Grade 11* listed as one of Wales' finest example of Victorian Gothic Revival architecture.

Built in 1834 by Thomas Wilson the great Victorian improver, the house was doubled in size by the Philips family in 1869, who then added the snooker room in 1894. The architects were Poundley and Walker of Liverpool.

Paul and Victoria Humpherston bought the Hall in late 1997 and spent 9 years restoring it to a building of Gothic splendour; boasting stunning interiors and fascinating collections. They have also restored 12 acres of Victorian gardens in a beautiful setting above the ruins of the 12th C "Abbey of the Long Valley. The Hall has appeared on many television documentaries on historic houses, and on lifestyles.. Their achievements have been featured on BBC "Discovering Welsh Houses" ,"My Secret Wales","Wales Today", on ITV "Wales Tonight" ,"Great Welsh Roads"and "How the other Half Lives" and on S4C.
