Seller Insight Beautifully positioned in the glorious Welsh countryside, Ty Isaf is an elegant Grade II listed six-bedroom home that

originally dates back to the late 18th century. “We probably spent around a year looking for the perfect property, but when we discovered that the owner of Ty Isaf was considering selling we knew pretty much immediately that it was the house for us,” say the owners. “It ticked all the boxes in terms of its size and the location, and it’s a property that really excited us. It’s also a property that we’d been admiring from afar for quite some time. We’d often go walking across the valley from here and glimpse it in the distance, and we’d always say how lovely it would be to own such a beautiful home in such an enchanting environment, and then in 2006 we got our wish.”

“The house sits nestled into the hillside and gazes out over the river and the valley beyond so it’s a really magical setting, and the building itself is picture-perfect. From the outside, it has the look of an elegant Georgian dolls house, and inside it oozes character and charm. There’s lots of ornate coving, a really beautiful fireplace in the main sitting room, and the two principal reception rooms have the original shutters, which have been painstakingly renovated so there’s no need for dusty old curtains. The layout is much the same as it would have been originally – and it works exceptionally well for modern living – and although we’ve updated elements such as the heating and plumbing systems and the electrics, all of the cosmetic work we’ve done has been really sympathetic to the style and wonderful sense of the history of this lovely old building.”

“All of the rooms are lovely, but the sitting room is probably the most impressive. It features a huge bay window with a pretty window seat where we can sit and take in a really spectacular view of the garden, and in the large fireplace there are beautiful tiles that were handmade by local ceramics artist Meri Wells’, and they include depictions of the house, which we thought was a beautiful finishing touch.”

“When we bought the property, in the oldest part of the building there was a flat. We’ve since incorporated that space into the main body of the house, but there’s definitely the potential to reinstate it and perhaps create a lovely little granny annexe.”

“The house is one of a kind, but it’s the setting that we’re going to miss most when we leave,” say the owners. “It’s a real slice of paradise.”*

At home and within the grounds we’re cocooned in our own little world, surrounded by nothing but natural beauty. It’s so peaceful and picturesque, and yet we’re by no means isolated. We can hop in the car – or walk, if we’re feeling energetic – and be in the centre of Aberystwyth in next to no time. It’s a gorgeous town and one that really punches above its weight in terms of culture.”

Outside GardensThe gardens at Ty Isaf are varied and mature, there are numerous specimen trees and shrubs and the grounds including Paddocks are just under 4 acres. The views from all of the garden areas are spectacular. There is a special formal garden area which includes a croquet lawn which was also used as a tennis court at the turn of the 20th Century. The property occupies a most secluded and facing predominately South/South West aspect. There is an in and out drive to the property and extensive parking to the front and side of the property.

Outside we’ve also done a tremendous amount of work. We took a little bit of land from the paddock so the formal garden now wraps right the way around the house, and it’s a really beautiful space that features a varied landscape. Instead of going out for a long walk we’ll often just nip out and do a circuit of our land: out onto the terrace, around to the orchard, past the paddock and

our little area of woodland, which enshrouds a very pretty little stream and waterfall, and finally back into what we like to call our very own pleasure garden. This is such an idyllic spot and a wonderful place to call home, and I’m not sure we’ll ever find anywhere else quite so beautiful again.”
