Property description

Cil y Byddar is a beautiful, Grade II listed, Welsh longhouse with its origins in the late mediaeval period. In Welsh "Cil" means a haven; anyone visiting here will surely get a sense of being in a special place. A working farm for hundreds of years Cil y Byddar has since undergone extensive, sympathetic renovation that has retained a wealth of original features and turned it into a charming and unique home.

The linear arrangement of this historic building provides the flexibility to use it as one large family house, as two linked houses for an extended family/guests, or offers an on-site business opportunity for the owners to arrange one wing as a holiday let. The living accommodation is complemented by traditional and modern outbuildings and six acres (approx.) of land and gardens.
