Isgaerwen

Isgaerwen is a charming period Welsh long farmhouse, thought to be over 400 years old, recorded at St. Fagan's National History Museum in Cardiff as an historic farmhouse. It stands in large grounds extending to approximately 3.25 acres and consisting of beautifully landscaped gardens. The house is built into the bank from the gable end, therefore allowing views of both the front and rear gardens, whilst taking full advantage of the far reaching views from the newer addition living room, on the opposite gable end. Mirroring the main house and running parallel is a traditional barn with a cottage at one end and planning for two further holiday cottages. The cottage is currently hosted on Airbnb. A wealth of attractive original features have been retained in the house using natural materials for the hand-crafted restoration. A superb feature is the modern, mainly glazed atrium style reception room which has been added to take full advantage of the location and the views.
