General Remarks - A truly exceptional Grade II listed timber framed cottage with outbuildings, paddocks and historic charm. Lovingly restored by the current owners over an eight-year period following their purchase in 2006, this remarkable property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Welsh history. With origins dating back to circa 1575 and thoughtfully extended in later centuries, the property showcases a wealth of period features while benefiting from sensitive modern upgrades carried out to the highest standards.

The restoration has been approached with meticulous care and respect for the building's heritage. The oak timber frame has been repaired and preserved with as much of the original structure retained as possible. The property has bespoke oak-framed windows, traditional lime plaster finishes and exposed beams throughout.

Internally, the property has been comprehensively modernised for comfort while maintaining its historic character. New foundations have been laid and the ground floor (excluding the area over the original cellar) features a new floor with underfloor heating throughout. A large inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove and charming built-in seats provides a cosy feel to the home, whilst a Sandyford cooker supplies heating, hot water and cooking use. 

Set within generous and beautifully maintained grounds, the property offers an exceptional range of outbuildings and additional features. These include: A former pig shed, now serving as a carport, a restored milking parlour offering significant potential for conversion into additional accommodation, home office, or studio (subject to the necessary planning permissions), traditional walled kitchen garden ideal for those with a passion for home-grown produce and two well-fenced paddocks of 0.37 acre and 0.2 acre, perfect for equestrian use or hobby farming.

There is also a stable block and large hay barn providing excellent facilities for livestock or storage and an established orchard enhancing a rural, self-sufficient lifestyle.

This is an incredibly rare opportunity to acquire a historic home of outstanding character and architectural significance modernised for contemporary living and offering a wealth of possibilities for those seeking a change in lifestyle.
