Set on the slopes of Carngafallt in Powys<\/a> \u2014 an RSPB reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest \u2014 \u2018Bwlch Coch\u2019 is a cruck-framed Welsh longhouse that traces its origins back more than 700 years. The four-bedroom farmhouse has been carefully restored over two decades, its stone walls, oak beams and limewashed surfaces supporting a dialogue between heritage and modern craft. The home feels deeply rooted in its landscape yet quietly contemporary in spirit.<\/p>\n

Across 4,200sqm, the interiors reveal their history through texture and proportion. A wide inglenook fireplace anchors the main living room, where a 17th-century oak plank and muntin screen remains in situ. The kitchen, painted in Annie Sloan\u2019s English yellow, balances vernacular warmth with confident colour. Upstairs, the principal suite opens beneath a pitched timber roof, framing long views of the surrounding Elan Valley.<\/p>\n

Outside, five acres of landscaped gardens, wild meadow and newly planted woodland complete the setting, an evolving collaboration between architecture and ecology. The property is listed for \u00a3950,000<\/a> with Inigo.<\/p>\n
