Tucked away in its own private gardens surrounded by woodland with a gently running stream on its land, this renovated Victorian property is the sort of home that you cannot help but fall in love with on first sight.
Plas y Felin is a grand Victorian house built in the 1850’s with a significant two storey extension added in 2010 when the property went through a comprehensive refurbishment
Set in secluded formal gardens and grounds totalling around one and a half acres in the quiet hamlet of Cefn Pennar nestling into the hillside about a mile north of Mountain Ash.
Designed by RHS Award garden designer Cheryl Cummings there are some fine specimen trees and established shrubs along with the original circular pond with a remote-controlled fountain. There is an enchanting contemporary twist to the garden, mirroring the house, with the creation of a kitchen garden.
The house has most of its fine original features still intact and restored to the highest standard, including timber shutters on the windows, slate and tiled floors, fireplaces and staircase. The roof has been overhauled and covered with slate and the Victorian windows replaced with bespoke double glazed box sash windows in hardwood frames.
The original character contrasts with the contemporary style and bespoke fitments including a unique handmade walnut kitchen designed and built by Jeremy Davies.
The impressive entrance hall has a restored original Victorian tiled floor, original deep skirting boards, coved ceiling, architraves and provides access to reception rooms.
The study offers original Victorian features, shuttered windows and deep bookcases either side of a central fireplace, with an attractive picture window overlooking the rear garden.
The drawing room has a dual aspect and original shutters on the windows, with restored original exposed floorboards, original cornicework on the ceiling and a feature fireplace housing a multi-fuel stove set on a slate hearth with a natural stone inset and mahogany surround.
The kitchen, which is fitted to the very highest specification, alongside the utility/boot room with a door opening onto the garden and parking area was is an integral part of the informal living area which has state of the art accessories including Category 5 networking with integrated speaker system, phone/iPad light control and programmable mood lighting while the Jerusalem limestone floor throughout has underfloor heating.
A broad entrance from the kitchen leads into the informal entertaining room with the continuation of the exceptional specification and lifestyle. There is an integrated speaker system in the kitchen and integrated speaker wiring to the living room.
The living room is bright and well-lit, with eight matching French doors, with matching glazed units above, opening into the garden.
In the corner of the kitchen is a contemporary Italian imported spiral staircase with beech treads in dark walnut finish with matching beech stained to dark walnut handrails that leads directly to the principal bedroom suite on the first floor. Where you find twin French doors opening onto a balcony. The luxury en-suite bathroom has a double ended bath with a Proofvision widescreen waterproof TV, Mira atom drench shower, twin Sparta stone basins and under floor heating. The finishing touch to the suite is the spacious dressing room.
A further three bedrooms are found on this floor, alongside a family bathroom. Upstairs, there is a second floor, which offers a guest or fifth bedroom with an en-suite and dressing room.
The gardens believed to have been planted in Victorian times when the house was built have now matured into an oasis of natural landscape with formal gardens and mature deciduous trees. A natural stone path leads around the gardens and along the stream.
The Victorian garden merges with the newly created Cheryl Cummings designed kitchen garden with four green oak organic rotational raised vegetable beds, herb beds, David Austin roses, fruit trees and scented climbers.
Plas y felin is a stunning home surrounded by its own magical gardens that we believe anyone who views will not be able to help but fall in love with.
