Rhos-Y-Glascoed Isaf, is a substantial 200+ year old traditional Welsh farmhouse, situated high on the gentle rolling Welsh hills overlooking the Vyrnwy valley. Within a mile of the property is Owen Glyndwrs Way, and there are many leisurely walks through the unspoilt countryside surrounding the house in every direction.
This is truly a house, where looking out in every direction there are fields, woods and hills, yet delightful villages and towns are not too far away.
The South facing house, has been extended over the last 35 years yet retains and enhances it’s family farmhouse character and traditional feel.
The maintained gardens surround the house with rockeries, borders and mature oaks, beech and maple trees. The gated gravel driveway runs to the front and side of the house providing plenty of parking and turning space.
In 2020 a large (20m x 14m x 2m) natural swimming pool was installed in the gardens. Using air circulation and water plants, the water is totally free of all chemicals but wonderfully clear and fresh. The benefits of freshwater swimming are well documented, and this is the best there is. The swimming area is surrounded by shallows where the water plants grow and make it a beautiful experience.
In 2022 we have completed a pool chalet to compliment the pool. Inside there is a 14 to 16 person, wood burning traditional sauna, relaxing lounge area with comfortable cane furniture and triple patio doors overlooking the pool. There is also a bathroom and shower room in the pool chalet.
Porch Entrance, Aga Kitchens and Summer Kitchen
The entrance door to the side leads into a porch/boot room, and from there into the spacious traditional farmhouse kitchen, with large pine table and Aga. All of the original or reclaimed pine furniture enhances and compliments the rustic kitchen.
Through the old pantry doorway is a modern compact ‘Summer’ kitchen with full gas range and electric oven, dishwasher, coffee maker and other equipment.
Sitting Room, Conservatory and Patio
There is a sitting room with wood burning stove and exposed beams, inner hallway to toilet and conservatory to the West side of the house next to the Summer kitchen. The conservatory has seating for 6 in comfortable sofa and chairs. Fronting the conservatory is a Yorkshire stone patio with BBQ and chiminea. A large outdoor rattan sofa set, with cushions provides seating for 8 residents plus chairs.

On the balcony are double swing seats and a firepit.
The house is heated throughout by an environmentally sound air source heating system providing heat to the traditional radiators in all rooms, which can be controlled centrally or individually.
Broadband wifi is available throughout the house. The main three TV’s have smart technology.
During Summer the greenhouse and fruit garden are planned to produce fresh herbs and fruit which guests are welcome to enjoy.
The extensive grassed areas around the house provide abundant space for outdoor games.
