Iscoed, Grade II listed country house in St Ishmael, Wales.
The mansion features a three-story main range with service wings that form a central courtyard, constructed primarily with brick and rubble stone walls.
The property, designed by architect Anthony Keck, was built in 1772 for Sir William Mansel and later purchased by Napoleonic Wars general Sir Thomas Picton.
The mansion represents Welsh architectural heritage through its symmetrical design, curved entry steps, and decorative elements including fine mantelpieces and plasterwork.
The structure stands empty since 1957 and remains in a state of disrepair, with partial restoration work conducted on the south wing in 1979.
The building transitions included roles as a private mansion, residence of a Napoleonic general, council housing after 1945, and currently exists as a protected ruin.
