Whitland (Welsh:Hendy-gwyn, lit. "Old White House", or Hendy-gwyn ar Daf, "Old White House on the River Taf", both in reference to the medieval Ty Gwyn ar Daf) is a community and small town in Carmarthenshire, south-west Wales, lying on the River Tâf. Whitland is home to the elusive "Whitland Trout", noted for its eggs and oily scales.
History
Traditionally, Whitland is seen as the site of an assembly of lawyers and churchmen, sometimes described as the first Welshparliament, called in 930 by King Hywel Dda to codify the native Welsh laws.
Whitland takes its name from its medieval Cistercianabbey. The monastery pre-dates Tintern but now is very much a ruin. The "white land" of the name (Latin: Albalanda) may refer to the famous White House (Welsh: Ty Gwyn) where Hywel's parliament met, to the monks' unstained woolen cloaks, or to the abbey's limestone. Whitland was dissolved during Henry VIII's conversion to a reformed church. Much of its limestone was taken and used for other buildings. The magnificent setting of the ruin and the Abbey's layout can still be viewed.

Outside, there are outbuildings which could be converted further lots of parking and stunning views across open countryside. The property is also located very close to Whitland and the coastline and is well situated for travel to South Wales and beyond. Narberth is equidistant and a popular centre for shopping and entertainment.

White House Mill - Property Overview
White House Mill is a truly exceptional property that offers a unique blend of historical charm and extensive land—making it a rare find in the sought-after West Wales countryside. This magnificent estate encompasses 28 acres of stunning grounds, including a 4-acre fishing lake and two additional one-acre lakes, offering a wealth of opportunities for leisure and outdoor pursuits.
The Annex
The Annex (formerly 'The Barn') is now a beautifully appointed living space, featuring a modern kitchen, an inviting dining area, a cosy sitting area, and two spacious double bedrooms—one with an en-suite and an additional shower room, ensuring comfort and convenience for all.
The Cottage
The Cottage, the oldest part of the estate, now serves as a tranquil Lounge and a Master Bedroom, complete with a luxurious en-suite. This part of the property dates back to at least 1845, adding a rich historical narrative to the home.
The Main House
The Main House (once 'The Old Farmhouse') has been transformed to offer a blend of tradition and modernity. It includes a charming Dining Room & Snug, a fully-equipped Kitchen, a light-filled Breakfast Room, three generous double Bedrooms, and a well-appointed Bathroom.
Historical Features
The property’s historical significance is further highlighted by The Old Mill House, now a characterful wood store within the car park, and a walled, gated barbecue area—ideal for entertaining guests in the warmer months. The original mill stream once flowed down what is now the driveway, feeding into a mill pool at the entrance, adding to the estate’s rich history.
Fishing Lake and Outdoor Features
For those with a passion for angling or simply seeking a peaceful retreat, the estate's 4-acre fishing lake, established in the 1980s, is a true highlight. Stocked with a vibrant population of Rainbow Trout and a few Brown Trout, this lake offers excellent fishing opportunities, complemented by one of the smaller lakes being fed from the Afon Cum and subsequently flows into the main 4 acre trout lake. An additional, smaller lake is located at the bottom (northern end of the property) and is also fed from the Afon Cum. Whether you’re an avid fisherman or enjoy leisurely afternoons by the water, White house Mill Trout Fishery is a rare feature that enhances the estate’s charm and has been for decades.
Renovations and Enhancements
In 1992, the current owner undertook an extensive renovation programme, elevating White House Mill to its current configuration. The Annex was converted into living quarters, with the original shop and entrance reimagined as two double bedrooms, each with access to modern shower facilities. The Cottage was rebuilt, preserving its historic character while ensuring it met contemporary standards.
The Main House also saw significant enhancements, including the addition of a large sunroom that creates a bright and airy link to The Cottage. The Dining Room was transformed into a spacious, open-plan area perfect for entertaining, featuring a fireplace rebuilt with reclaimed stone from the old Mill House.
Land and Equestrian Potential
The estate's 28 acres offer vast potential for equestrian pursuits, with ample space for stables, paddocks, and riding trails. The land has been carefully managed, with the fields traditionally used for sheep rearing and hay production, providing a pristine, well-maintained environment.
