Five-bedroom Welsh green oak framed main house with superb light
Tŷ'r Pwll is a rare rural estate combining a handsome, modern Welsh green oak framed house with a Grade II* cruck cottage, all set within c.2.8 acres of established gardens and a wildlife-rich pond. The main house offers light-filled living with floor-to-ceiling glazing, a versatile central reception with a double-sided wood-burning stove, three double bedrooms and flexible study space. The cottage dates from the 13th–14th century and retains historic character; it is currently used as a popular holiday let.
The grounds are a principal asset: a long tree-lined gated drive, extensive parking for multiple vehicles, a triple garage/workshop and sweeping formal gardens with specimen planting and panoramic views to the Sugar Loaf and Blorenge. The setting is extremely private yet within convenient driving distance of larger centres (Newport, Cardiff, Bristol and London links).
Practicalities are straightforward but important to note. The property sits on borehole water with a private sewage treatment plant and oil-fired heating (boiler with underfloor heating). Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average, reflecting the remote hamlet location. EPC band C and Grade II* listed status for the cottage will affect future alterations and may add complexity and cost to works.
This package will suit buyers seeking seclusion, strong garden interest and period charm alongside contemporary family living — or those wanting a home with additional income potential from the cottage. Be prepared for listed-building constraints, off-grid-style service arrangements and the ongoing maintenance responsibilities of a large, historic plot.
