We are pleased to offer this well-maintained three-bedroom detached Welsh longhouse, rich in history and set within private grounds with off-road parking for three vehicles. This charming property, which is not listed, is a must-see.
Believed to have originally served as the former stables to the historic Maerdy Estate, this unique Welsh stone-built longhouse, understood to date from the 1730’s, is full of character and history. Its most striking feature is the impressive frontage, boasting 13 elegant stone-arched windows that flood the home with natural light.
The property sympathetically blends period charm with modern-day living.
The current owners have comprehensively renovated and modernised the property over the last six years, including re-wiring, re-plumbing, re-laying the traditional slate floors, and installing a solid oak suspended floor to the dining room.
