The Tythe Barn, Anglesey, Llangristiolus , BODORGAN, United Kingdom, LL62 5DLPrice: £ 150,000Formerly part of the Henblas Estate, this beautiful barn was built for Henry Morgan and his wife Elizabeth in 1733 – as noted on the date stone above the east doorway. The listing entry calls this ‘an excellent example of an early C18 threshing barn, the largest in Anglesey’.  Set back from the lane the Tythe Barn enjoys a slightly elevated position, with far reaching views across Anglesey against the backdrop of the Snowdonian mountains to the east and the Yr Eifl mountains to the south. This stone barn is architecturally impressive but roofless and in need of a sympathetic owner. Planning permission and listed building consent were granted in October 2016 for conversion of the building to a dwelling. The consented layout appears to preserve the building’s integrity and internal massing of this fine building, with over 50% of the footprint providing living space beneath a high vaulted ceiling with king trusses. In addition, there are two bedrooms, two bathrooms, cloakroom and study, together with a further living space on the second floor. The site extends to some two acres and there is also a former cottage that offers potential for further development, subject to obtaining the necessary consents. Contact: 01244 328361 |
The Old Deanery, WellsPrice: £ 2,500,000Address: Bath & Wells Diocesan Board Of Finance, The Old Deanery , WELLS, United Kingdom, BA5 2UG Freehold   This is the first time this extraordinary building has been offered for sale.

In recent years it has been used as the Diocesan Offices of the Dean and Chapter of Wells Cathedral. Occupying over 18,000 square feet, the building is certainly spacious and holds a treasure trove of rare and remarkable features, including gargoyles on the parapets, wonderful stained-glass, Jacobean panelling, Tudor fireplaces and secret stone staircases. The south and west ranges date from the 13th century and were renovated by Dean Bathurst (1670-1704) in a neo-classical style. The first floor drawing room is lavish and opulent. The north range dates from the 15th century with impressive rooms, medieval fireplaces and oriel windows. The east range was built in the late-16th century, with features including 17th-century panelling, naïve ionic pilasters around the doors and an ancient fireplace. In addition to the old Deanery itself, included in the sale is the Court (originally a separate building), the old stable block and the Victorian education wing. To the west and north are magnificent Tudor style gardens, carefully recreating some of the planting established there in the 16th century by Dean William Turner, sometimes known as the Father of English botany. This splendid and historic building has enormous potential for a range of new uses and given its prominent location adjacent to the Cathedral, needs a sympathetic and understanding new owner.
