Tucked away in a hidden valley at the end of a private lane, Ty Isaf offers the space to bring family together, follow a passion or enjoy a quieter pace of life. Set within approximately five acres of gardens and grounds, this Welsh longhouse is joined by a detached two bedroom cottage and a converted stable block, creating a versatile arrangement for extended family, guests, working from home or exploring an income opportunity.

For the current owners, it has been home for 25 years. They describe the feeling of coming through the gates and immediately beginning to unwind. During their time here, they have kept a multitude of animals and enjoyed plenty of celebrations. It is easy to picture how life here could be as sociable or as peaceful as you choose.

Step inside the original farm house and the large lounge offers a welcoming place to settle down, with a feature inglenook fireplace bringing warmth and character to the room. There is space for everyone to gather, whether for a relaxed evening together or catching up with friends.

The extended kitchen and dining room opens up a different side of the home. With its separate seating area, this is somewhere to cook, chat and spend time together throughout the day. Family can linger over breakfast, guests can keep you company while dinner is prepared, and there is room to enjoy a meal without having to move between separate rooms. A ground floor study provides a quieter place to work and could also serve as a fourth bedroom, depending on your needs with the house been completed by a ground floor cloakroom.

Upstairs are three double bedrooms. The primary bedroom has its own dressing area, en suite shower room and balcony, giving you a private spot to step outside with a morning coffee or take a moment at the end of the day. The second bedroom also benefits from an en suite and boasts exposed beams and vaulted ceilings, while a family bathroom serves the remaining accommodation.

The detached cottage, converted from a barn, allows family or guests to stay close while retaining their independence. It includes a lounge, kitchen, utility room, two double bedrooms and a first floor bathroom. Whether used by relatives, visiting friends or considered as a potential source of income, it adds flexibility as circumstances change over the years.

The converted stable block offers further space to make your own. It could suit a business, a gym, hobbies or entertaining, with scope to explore further accommodation, subject to any necessary consents. Several storage areas and a huge garage provide room for equipment, vehicles and the practical side of country living.

Outside, the approximately five acres give you room to enjoy the setting and pursue interests that need a little more space. Gardens, grounds and parcels of woodland wrap around the property, with several outbuildings and enclosures suited to keeping animals. There is parking for more than a dozen vehicles, making gatherings easier to accommodate, and access to local trails and walks, including routes around the reservoir. The property also benefits from it's own privately owned PV panels located within the grounds. 

Despite the sense of seclusion, Ty Isaf is not far off the beaten track. The owners have particularly valued being within easy reach of the main road, shops and a nearby retail park, allowing them to enjoy the privacy of home without feeling cut off.

Located at the very top of the Rhymney Valley, Ty Isaf sits within a landscape rich in Welsh history. The valley’s ironworks and coal mining heritage helped shape the communities here, with Rhymney itself growing around its ironworks during the early nineteenth century. Today, the surrounding hills and countryside offer space to explore and enjoy the outdoors. rhymneycommunitycouncil.org.uk

Despite its tucked-away setting and feeling of seclusion, the property is just a few minutes’ drive from Rhymney and Tredegar for everyday amenities. Nearby access to the A465 Heads of the Valleys road makes travelling further afield straightforward, with Merthyr Tydfil approximately 10 minutes away and Abergavenny around 20 minutes by car. For work, shopping or an evening in the capital, Rhymney railway station is approximately five minutes’ drive away, offering rail connections to Cardiff. Cardiff is also within an hour’s drive, depending on traffic, allowing you to enjoy city life before returning home to the privacy and slower pace of Ty Isaf.

Ty Isaf also sits just outside the Brecon Beacons National Park, with rolling hills and countryside on your doorstep offering hours of walking and exploring. Whether it’s a quick morning walk with the dogs or a full day out in the hills, this is a setting where enjoying the outdoors can become part of everyday life.

After 25 years, they will be sad to leave, but hope the next owners will be as happy here as they have been. With space for different generations, interests and ways of living, Ty Isaf offers plenty of opportunity to make memories of your own.

Agents Note: A short section of public footpath and restricted byway runs along the very edge of the property’s eastern boundary. It does not cross any of the fields or pass through the majority of the gardens, grounds or woodland. Access to Ty Isaf is via a private lane owned by Welsh Water, towards whose maintenance the owners contribute. Ty Isaf is the only residential property served by this lane.
