Sealyham House, Georgian mansion in Pembrokeshire, Wales.
Description
Sealyham House is a Georgian mansion near Wolfscastle in Pembrokeshire with symmetrical proportions and classical design elements from the 18th century. The structure shows typical features of British residential architecture from that period with a balanced facade and traditional layout.
History
The property has roots dating back to the 14th century when King Edward III granted the land to Thomas Tucker. The current Georgian building was constructed in the mid-1700s, replacing an earlier structure on the site.
Culture
The house is closely linked to the development of the Sealyham Terrier breed, which Captain John Edwardes created through selective breeding there. The breed later became a popular companion dog across Britain and beyond.
Practical
Access to the property is easiest by car, as it sits in a rural area near Wolfscastle. Visitors should plan ahead since the location is remote and facilities in the surrounding area are limited.
