History of the property:

From the book written by Mr. Len Burland - A Historical Tour around Mynyddislwyn Mountain the following was included on Cefn Pennar Farm. "Cefn Pennar Farm was once a little shepherd's cottage. Evidence of a small building can be seen in the wall around the front of the present farmhouse. The layout of the buildings is unusual on the Mountain. The barn is in front of the house, and attached, and not at the side as in a typical Long House. Inside the barn, the floor is in two levels, and on the wall attached to the house, is a large fireplace with an enormous chimney. If it was in use when the barn was used as a barn it must have posed a huge fire risk. Could it be that the barn was turned over for farm labourers accommodation? Today the farm is a private house."

The farm was the dairy farm for the village, which had a building sited where the current annex has been built, which was used to produce the butter etc. It is likely that this path, used to take the milk down to the village which is the footpath marked on old maps. There was a large dutch barn in the Well field', which is the field adjacent to the property. The spring in the top corner of the field had a wooden gutter system, providing water to the barns and the dairy.

Pant-y-resk road was not a road until the war, when it was used to access the munitions at the top of the hill. The original exit from the farm was via what is now marked as a cart track. The footpath leading over the mountain' to Newbridge has been extinguished. The fields above Cefn Pennar, were originally part of the farm, apart from one field that belonged to the Lanover estate (who own the property below Cefn Pennar off Pant-y-Resk road). Over the years these have been sold but continue to be used for agricultural purposes.
