This gorgeous farmhouse is nestled in one of Wales' most majestic landscapes (original) (raw)

Dating back to the 16th century and Grade II* listed, this home, outbuildings and location are truly incredible

Tucked away in a beautiful hidden valley is a slice of history waiting to be discovered and enjoyed as a perfect place to enjoy idyllic rural living - as people have done for centuries. At the end of a private single-track lane, the 16th century Ty’n Y Llwyn is waiting to greet you.

Drenched in history, the substantial four-bed home can boast an incredible location as well as a past that has been celebrated by its careful restoration. Nestled into the glorious Grwyne Fawr valley, this special spot in the Black Mountains offers visitors spectacular and panoramic views of the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park.

Feel immersed in nature, surrounded by the immense beauty of the landscape that envelops, in this home that can surely be described as a rural idyll . Beginning life as a longhouse in the 15th century and then extended in 1649, the house was part of a working farm where hours of hard work extended into long days.

Such is the significance of this magnificent home and its history, in 1963 it was granted the higher listing level of Grade II* by Cadw for being 'one of the most interesting regional examples of a sub-medieval house with earlier origins, retaining its plan form and with good surviving detail.'

Built on a commanding position with southern valley views, several outbuildings and exceptional grounds of varying gradients, the house has seen sensitive modifications but retains much of its rich history and architectural integrity.

With walls of lime washed rubble stone striking out against the grove, it features a cruciform layout, characteristic gabled ends and diamond-shaped chimney stacks. As well as externally, inside the house has been renovated and restored with such love and care that the centuries of character are preserved, while the modern additions have been softly introduced.

But the historic farmhouse is not alone, it is surrounded by ancient farm buildings within the four-acre site that are also so important to the history of this land that they are listed too - even the hen house gets an acknowledgment.

To own this four-acre rural site is to cherish it and preserve it for the next generation - it's a privilege to be its next custodian and look after it, and in return it offers the most special of historic homes in the most idyllic of locations.
