Penoyre House, Grade II* listed country house in Yscir, Wales
Built with Bath stone, Penoyre House stands at 242 meters elevation and features three stories with detailed cornices and ornamental lion masks.
Anthony Salvin designed this Italianate mansion between 1846 and 1848 for Colonel J. L. V. Watkins MP, a Liberal Member of Parliament for Brecon.
The mansion includes grand staircases, formal reception areas, and a ballroom with intricate plasterwork, representing Victorian architectural sophistication.
The property requires special permission from local authorities for any modifications due to its Grade II* listed status protection regulations.
In 1868, the house sold for £24,000 and remained unoccupied during the early 1870s before Sir Anthony Cleasby purchased it in 1874.
