Plas Tan y Bwlch, Manor house in Maentwrog, Wales
The 32,000-square-foot Plas Tan y Bwlch manor house stands within a 103-acre estate, featuring 30 bedrooms and multiple outbuildings in the Snowdonia National Park.
The Oakeley family constructed this residence in the 18th century, which later transformed into the Snowdonia National Park Environmental Studies Centre.
This Grade II listed building represents Welsh architectural heritage through its slate roof design, decorative eaves, and roughly coursed rubble masonry construction.
The property currently operates with a 34kW hydroelectric scheme installed in 2015 and generates additional income through land leasing to telecommunications operators.
The estate includes 59 acres of ancient semi-natural woodland, designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest due to its rare Atlantic bryophytes.
