Lovely old Georgian mansion standing alone facing the sea. It was commissioned to replace the original farmhouse in the early C18 by the then landowner Samuel Harries, a country squire of some repute with a penchant for fashionable architecture, good company and riding to hounds. He was also said to have a fear of snakes so ordered Irish soil to fill the garden in the hope that St Patrick's influence would extend to Welsh reptiles.
