Nanteos The main part of the house was built between 1739 and 1757 for Thomas Powell.  The architect is unknown.  The east wing (only just visible through the trees on the right in this photo) was added in 1841 for William Powell, to a design of the architect W R Coultart.  He also planned a similar west wing, but this was not built.  The portico on the front was added in 1848.

It remained in the ownership of the Powell family until the early 20th century, followed by other owners, before falling into disrepair.  Following recent restoration, it is now a hotel.
