A Historic Sixteenth-Century Gentry House in the Award-Winning Town of Ystradgynlais
A rare opportunity to acquire a truly historic four-bedroom home, steeped in character and local history, in the award-winning town of Ystradgynlais.
Dating from the sixteenth century, this former gentry house has a remarkable story to tell. Local history associates the property with Oliver Cromwell, who is said to have stayed here while travelling towards Neath Abbey, with his horses stabled at the property. More than four centuries later, the house retains an extraordinary sense of its past.
Inside, the property is filled with features that are increasingly difficult to find. A beautiful stone spiral staircase winds upwards to the open loft area, adding both drama and authenticity to the home. A substantial original oak beam forms a striking reminder of the building's age, while the impressive inglenook fireplace, complete with multi-fuel stove, creates a wonderfully atmospheric centrepiece to the principal living space.
Throughout the house are further reminders of its heritage, including original stained-glass doors which bring colour, craftsmanship and character to the interiors.
The four bedrooms provide generous accommodation, while the open loft space offers an intriguing additional area with enormous character and versatility. The combination of historic fabric, traditional craftsmanship and the comforts of a much-loved home creates a property that feels genuinely individual.

Situated in Ystradgynlais, a vibrant and award-winning town surrounded by the spectacular landscapes of the Upper Swansea Valley and the Brecon Beacons, the property offers the rare combination of historic significance, community and access to some of South Wales' most beautiful countryside.
