Ty Hedfan is an exceptional, award-winning example of contemporary rural architecture by Featherstone Young, set on a large plot with approximately 60 m of private river frontage. The five-bedroom, five-bathroom house offers expansive, light-filled lateral living with dramatic cantilevered glazing that frames woodland and river views. High ceilings, bespoke joinery, solid timber floors and an elevated terrace create versatile spaces for family life and entertaining.
Designed with environmental performance in mind, the house includes sedum (green) roofs, MEV ventilation, timber windows and careful solar gain strategies. Practical features include generous storage, an elevated deck, raised beds for gardening and provision of planning permission to construct a garage/outbuilding on the street boundary. The property was built in 2009 and benefits from off-street parking and a substantial, naturalistic garden setting.
Buyers should note the rural, hamlet location: transport links are limited (nearest mainline station is a long drive), mobile and broadband speeds are average, and the area is classified as remoter/agricultural with higher local deprivation. Heating is oil-fired with underfloor distribution, which may be less appealing for those preferring mains gas or low-carbon systems. Council tax is described as quite expensive. These are practical considerations to weigh against the architectural pedigree, setting and privacy this house provides.
