This Grade II* Listed building reflects its national architectural and historic significance with some iconic features standing in formal gardens and wood of around 1.4 acres and stunning views over traditional parkland.

Directions - From Newton proceed East on the A489 towards Craven Arms up and over the Vastre bank for 2 miles and at the bottom of the hill before the village of Kerry turn left onto an unmarked lane and continue to the end of this tarmac shared drive and the property is at the end of this short lane. What3Words: mentioned.clock.palm

Situation - Dolforgan Hall is situated in an idyllic location on the edge of the pretty village of Kerry at the head of the renowned vale of the same name and commands fine views over open parkland fields to the East. The town of Newtown is only 2.5 miles away and provides an excellent range of services and amenities with access to the national railway network and by road onto the new By-Pass with routes North & South. Routes into Shropshire and the Midlands are also available via the A489.

Description - Dolforgan Hall is one of the most important country houses in the Kerry area, just west of Newtown. The Hall stands in what was once a substantial landed estate that influenced much of the surrounding parish. It is a Grade II* Listed building, reflecting its national architectural and historic significance and some of its iconic features include a grand columned entrance portico, symmetrical Regency facades, a fine internal staircase and reception rooms, formal gardens and stunning views over traditional parkland. The site was occupied by a manor house from at least the 17th century with much of the older house replaced with an elegant Georgian/Regency mansion seen today although now requiring a complete scheme of renovation and refurbishment which will require a sympathetic eye and a passion for older buildings. Today the hall is divided into 6 separate and spacious self-contained residential apartments, none of which are currently habitable but in total possess an approximate floor area of 14,500 square feet. The Hall stands in approximately 1.4 acres of mature architecturally landscaped gardens and wood which again requires much tender loving care.
