Description

Troserch Farm has an impressive history going back to 1414 according to records held at Llanelli Reference Library. It was occupied in 1654 by John Lloyd o-Llwyd who later became high sheriff of the County. Documentary evidence in the form of a Rent Roll of the Estate of John Lloyd of Llangennech goes back to 1697, whilst there is a large original oil painting of the Llangennech Estate, believed to date from the 1720’s, held at Llanelli Museum, which clearly shows Troserch Farm in the foreground. In 1723 it became part of the Stepney Estate and at the end of the 18th century became the home of William Hopkin, a notable Llanelli resident, who was also the Stepney Estate manager. Records show that at its height Troserch Farm occupied 70-80 acres.
Troserch Farm is now a substantial country residence set in about 11 acres (subject to measured survey – stms) with landscaped gardens and three pasture paddocks. Approached via a stone pillared entrance the tree lined driveway leads up to the property and sweeps around in a circle in front of the house with a lawned area at its centre.
