Sources say newly crowned king is letting property go as it is ‘unlikely’ he will be able to use it as before
King Charles is giving up his home inon the edge of the Bannau Brycheiniog, the official new name for Brecon Beacons, with the lease due to expire later this summer.
The former coach house and farm buildings, near Llandovery in Carmarthenshire, are at the centre of 192 acres of idyllic rolling countryside. Buckingham Palace said the king gave notice to the duchy earlier this year that he would be giving up the lease, which is due to expire this summer.The Telegraph quoted royal sources who said the king remained “passionate” about Wales but had decided to give up the property because it was “unlikely” he would be able to use it in the same way as before.
The old house and the disintegrating concrete and corrugated iron farm buildings, where there was also an abandoned slurry pit, were restored by Welsh craftsmen using traditional methods and local materials. Charles also planted climbers including Albertine roses, jasmine and honeysuckle up the walls.
