Less than a year after it opened as a B&B, Dylan Thomas' former family home in Laugharne is being put up for sale, reports the today.
Sea View, which was built in 1845, is being sold by the Abergavenny architects who bought it in 2007. After extensive renovations it opened as a B&B, but future owners would be able to revert the four-storey Georgian building to a family home.
According to co-owner Jan Milsom: "We are selling Sea View because it's not the business we're in. Six months after we bought it the recession hit, yet we have renovated and restored a very important building that will be around for the next 100 years."
Dylan and Caitlin Thomas lived in the house for 18 months from August 1938, renting it for a weekly fee of seven shillings and sixpence. It is being sold with a guide price of £750,000.
