Llanerchaeron is a small 18th
century Welsh gentry estate which has survived virtually unaltered. The
house was built by John Nash in 1795. Consisting of the house, servant's
quarters, stables, farm buildings and walled garden, Llanerchaeron is a
traditional rural estate that has remained in the same family for ten
generations.
The house was commissioned from John Nash
in 1789 by Colonel William Lewis. Nash had been made bankrupt at the age
of 31, however after designing Llanerchaeron and a number of other Welsh
estate houses, he went on to grander things, designing the Brighton
Pavilion and Buckingham Palace.
In the house can be seen the collection
of antiques donated to the National Trust by Miss P.M.Ward. as well as
memorabilia from the Lewis family.
The House and servant
quarters were opened to visitors for the first time in June 2002
following extensive restoration. There are extensive gardens also open
to the public. The cafe serves home made food and their bread pudding is
renowned.
