Summary
Occupying a private courtyard setting within grounds of approximately one third of an acre, this individually designed home combines contemporary architecture with a strong sense of traditional character. Built in 2019 within the medieval village of Llanvihangel Crucorney in the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, the house has been thoughtfully designed to sit comfortably within its historic surroundings whilst offering the space, light and efficiency of a modern home. Traditional stone elevations and pitched slate roofs are complemented by natural cedar cladding and striking aluminium glazing, creating a home that feels entirely appropriate to its setting yet distinctly individual. The dramatic double-height glazed elevation in the entrance is a particular feature, bringing natural light into the heart of the house and providing a contemporary contrast to the stonework. Timber-framed construction, solar panels, a MVHR system (mechanical ventilation heat recovery system), and an excellent EPC rating contribute to the home's energy efficiency, while underfloor heating extends throughout the ground floor.
Inside, generous proportions combine with a considered palette of natural oak, stone, glass and aluminium. Vaulted ceilings and extensive glazing feature throughout, giving the house a wonderful sense of space without compromising its warmth and character. The entrance makes an immediate impression. A double-height hallway is flooded with natural light, with Mandarin stone flooring and a bespoke floating oak staircase with glazed balustrades forming a fabulous centrepiece. Internal glazing provides glimpses through to the adjoining reception spaces and allows light to flow naturally through the house. At the heart of the home is the superb kitchen, dining and family room, designed for both family life and entertaining. Sleek two-tone cabinetry provides extensive storage, centred around a substantial island with marble work surfaces and breakfast bar seating. The specification includes twin Neff ovens with warming drawer, full-height refrigeration and freezer storage, an inset induction hob with integrated extractor, and a Quooker-style tap. Beyond the kitchen there is ample space for dining and informal seating, with each area remaining connected yet having its own identity. Extensive aluminium-framed glazing and wide folding doors open onto a sun terrace and the garden creating an easy connection between inside and out.
A subtle change in level leads into the generous principal living room, where glazing on several elevations brings in further natural light. Folding doors open onto the terrace, while Mandarin stone flooring and a contemporary wood-style gas stove add warmth to the space. The ground floor is completed by a versatile dual-aspect study or occasional guest room, together with a fitted utility room and contemporary wet room providing flexible spaces for multi-generational living and family get togethers.
The bespoke staircase rises to a galleried first-floor landing overlooking the entrance hall. Here, oak flooring, vaulted and partially vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and traditional-style radiators introduce further character. The principal bedroom forms an impressive suite, with a beamed vaulted ceiling and glazed doors opening to a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden and affording a view towards the Skirrid Fawr. Extensive fitted wardrobes and a separate dressing area lead through to a beautifully appointed en-suite with freestanding slipper bath, rainfall shower and twin countertop basins. The remaining bedrooms continue the same high standard, with oak flooring, vaulted ceilings and fitted storage featuring throughout. The second bedroom also benefits from a dressing area and en-suite shower room, while a stylish four-piece family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.
Outside, a private courtyard approach provides generous parking alongside a substantial detached double garage, designed to complement the architecture of the house and incorporating a useful upper floor. An external CCTV system provides additional security. The encircling gardens provide a private and attractive setting around the house with terraces adjoining the principal living spaces offering plenty of opportunity for outdoor dining and entertaining, while areas of lawn, gravelled landscaping, established hedging and mature trees create structure and privacy. At the end of the garden is an attractive garden summerhouse / home office equipped with power and WiFi, creating a versatile space for home working, leisure and hobbies.
Overall, this is a beautifully considered home where traditional materials, contemporary architecture and impressive living spaces come together particularly well. Its design respects the character of its historic village setting, while providing the space, energy efficiency and quality expected of a modern home. Its technical specification is impressive and includes network and satellite wiring throughout; plus being alarmed with remote controlled entrance gates and garage door.
