Surrounded by an idyllic Welsh landscape, Aber Artro Hall is situated on over 30 acres of property encompassing a serene mix of formal gardens, verdant paddocks and lush woodlands. Built in 1910 in an "Arts and Crafts" style, the Grade II-listed hall features impressive wood floors, paneling and beams brightened throughout by tasteful splashes of William Morris glass, wallpaper and fabric.
"It has a lot of character," noted listing agent Harriet Button of Savills Chester. The residence’s many large rooms suggest this character in their own distinct, yet interrelated, way. The dining room features Austrian oak paneling, while one of the bedrooms contains a Dutch-tiled fireplace and another is designed in a Gothic Revival style, to name just a few of the home’s many unique features.
"It is really substantial," Ms. Button said of the residence’s vast accommodations, ideal for housing both family and friends. Thankfully, she added, the over century-old residence has been maintained "in such a way that it really preserves a lot of the history of the place."
Befitting such a classic estate, the property also contains verdant, manicured lawns and several uniquely landscaped gardens that each reflect a different garden style. As a result, the property includes a Japanese garden, a rose garden, and an Italian-style courtyard garden complete with fountain, in addition to others.

Spanning over 30 acres of land, the property’s approximately 14,066-square-foot home has seven bedrooms and six bathrooms. Additionally, the property contains a cottage tea house capable of seating 40 people.

Neighborhood notes
While woodlands surrounding the residence ensure privacy, Ms. Button is keen to point out that the property is also near a quaint town with many small shops. Additionally, the area also contains Neolithic standing stones and lies near the coast, the Morfa Dyffryn beach and dunes, as well as the scenic peninsula known as Shell Island.
