Nantyllaethdy
Beautifully restored, historic Welsh longhouse in a
picturesque glacial valley.
Situation
Nantyllaethdy is situated in the picturesque Brecon Beacons
National Park approximately 2 miles west of the village of
Llangynidr. This thriving village has a well regarded pub, primary
school, church, community hall, petrol station, Post Office, local
store, tennis courts and playing fields.
The much sought after town of Crickhowell is just four miles east
and has all the expected facilities of a prosperous rural town.
The beautiful Brecon Beacons National Park covers approximately
520 square miles of mountains and moorland in south and mid
Wales and provides a vast space of natural beauty, inspiring
architecture and interesting archaeology. The Park provides a
wealth of leisure activities including breathtaking walks, horse
riding, water sports, cycling, fishing and caving to name but a few.
Description
Nantyllaethdy is an historic Welsh longhouse, dating back in
parts to around 1650 of traditional cruck construction. The Grade
II listed property has been painstakingly and lovingly refurbished
approximately 8 years ago with improvements sympathetic to
the period of the building.
A new one bedroom guest cottage has been added, offering a
contemporary twist to the traditional. Both of these buildings
enjoy magnificent views of the surrounding hillsides and valley.
The Longhouse
Entered via a glazed door, the entrance hall, doubling up as a
snug, has a central flag stoned floor with exposed stone walls, a
glazed door out to the rear garden and provides access to the
principal rooms.
Two steps lead up to the sitting room, a very well proportioned
double reception room, featuring a wide stone fireplace
incorporating wood burning stove and bread oven beneath a
heavy wooden mantel. There are windows to front and rear and
the beamed ceiling and flag stone floor lend much character. A
library, separated from the main living space by solid oak pillars
provides the perfect place to read and relax.
The large kitchen is fitted with a bespoke range of units in
distressed oak beneath solid oak surfaces. Arranged around a
central fireplace incorporating a red enamel Aga, the kitchen
has integrated appliances. Stone steps lead down to a dining
room which also has a glazed door leading out to the rear
garden and from where the downstairs cloakroom and boiler
room are accessed.
There is an en suite double bedroom on the ground floor
approached via a short flight stair case from the kitchen.
The remaining bedroom accommodation is found on the
first floor, which is arranged in two sections, with the master
bedroom having its own stone staircase from the drawing room.
The bedroom has an impressive vaulted beamed ceiling with
traditional exposed oak A-frame trusses and oak flooring. From
here the en suite bathroom is a modern take on tradition featuring
double sinks, WC, shower cubicle and separate bath.
A second staircase from the hallway leads to the two further
bedrooms. Bedroom 4 has an annexe, perfect as a study or sitting
room and ideal as a teenager’s suite. The third bedroom, currently
used as a study, shares the Heritage family bathroom.
All bedrooms feature solid oak flooring throughout.
Coach House
The annexed accommodation is approached from a flag stone
floored hallway with cloakroom, which leads into a vast open
plan living room with part-vaulted ceiling, featuring glazed
French doors to both the front and rear elevation absorbing
the wonderful views. This oak floored living room is open plan
to the kitchen. On the first floor, an impressive large bedroom
has a gallery which partly overlooks the living room and
features exposed beams and a luxurious en suite.
Gardens & Grounds
The property is approached from a long driveway and there
is parking afforded between the cottages as well as providing
access to the detached stone built garage/workshop. This
sizeable workshop has oak double doors and windows on the
northern elevation to take in view across the valley. There is
boarded loft storage above.
Outside, there are terraced gardens featuring lawns with low
stoned walls, garden pond and a number of maturing shrubs
and fruit trees including plum, apple and pears. At all points one
can appreciate the magnificent views of the surrounding area.
