Plas Yn Llan is a striking Grade II listed Tudor country house dating to the late 16th century, presented with careful conservation of original timber framing, exposed beams and period detail. The house extends to approximately 328 sq m (3,533 sq ft) across generous reception spaces, five bedrooms and substantial cellar space, and sits in beautifully matured grounds of about 1.33 acres. The gardens — formerly open to the National Garden Scheme and featured in garden publications — are a major asset, with formal parterres, a kitchen garden, pond, pavilion with pizza oven and extensive specimen planting.
Practical accommodation includes a large breakfast kitchen with Aga, three principal reception rooms, a conservatory, two-storey stone bakehouse (with bedroom above) and multiple storerooms. The cellar contains extensive racking for more than 1,600 bottles and offers useful storage or hobby space. Off-street parking is provided on a sweeping gravel drive and there is scope to use the outbuildings for guest/staff accommodation or home working, subject to listed-building and planning constraints.
Buyers should note material constraints: the property is Grade II listed which will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance or conversion work. Services are private — water from a borehole and drainage to a septic tank — and heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators; the EPC is F. The remote, hamlet location delivers tranquillity and attractive rural views but also means limited local amenities and a reliance on private transport. Prospective purchasers should allow for the specialist costs and permissions associated with older listed buildings and private services.
This house will suit someone seeking a character-rich historic home with mature, extensively planted grounds and strong entertaining space — a buyer who values provenance and garden interest and is comfortable managing listed-building responsibilities and the running costs of a large, rural property.
