A country mansion – steeped in history – is set to become the most expensive ever sold in Wales after going on the market for £4.5 million.
The asking price is significantly more than the highest sum paid for a Welsh property last year.
Football star Aaron Ramsey, Wales and Arsenal midfielder, paid out £3.1 million for his Cardiff pad in 2017.
Meanwhile the former home of TV pundit Craig Bellamy also recently sold for a cool £2,950,000.

But a stunning manor house fit for a king has now become the most expensive home on the market in Wales.
The 10 bedroom mansion boasts its own lake, tennis court and cottage in the grounds – offering more historic luxury than WAG bling.
King Charles II visited the Great Campston Manor, near Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, in 1645.
It is also believed to be where the last native Prince of Wales – Owain Glyndwr – was defeated in the battle of Campston Hill in 1404.
Born in 1359 into a powerful family of the Anglo-Welsh nobility, he is now a pivotal figure in Wales, with statues, monuments and street names commemorating him.
These stunning pictures show the extensive grounds and the complete luxury the manor affords its owners on the edge of the Brecon Beacons.

Millionaire buyers will be treated to 276 acres of picturesque grass and woodland on the estate.
A three-bedroom bungalow, a two bedroom cottage and traditional stone farm buildings also come included.

The formal gardens have been open to the public for a number of years under the National Gardens scheme.
Buyers will be close to the Brecon Beacons National Park and the Black Mountains – but also close to local towns including Hereford, Abergavenny, and Monmouth.
If the property is sold for the asking price it would still be significantly cheaper than Britain’s most expensive properties ever sold.
A property in Cowley Street, Westminster, London, sold for a staggering £36 million.
That’s a mere £1million more expensive than the second most expensive in nearby Carlton House Terrace, St. James’s, London.
