In Detail

No Wi-Fi or broadband internet, but we found a reasonable 4G signal in most of the house on the EE network (possibly also others).

Underfloor central heating to the ground floor, but note this is not a luxury property. You'd want appropriate clothing in winter.

Kitchen: Rayburn stove (solid fuel), initial basket of logs provided. Fridge-freezer, hob and electric oven. Microwave, toaster. Filter coffee machine for ground coffee and stove-top espresso maker. Doors to outside. Hot water is via oil boiler, not Rayburn.

Dining room: in the former parlour, with antique Welsh oak dresser, longcase clock etc.

Cegin Fawr: the main room of the house (literally the 'Great Kitchen'). Working inglenook with genuine Victorian cast-iron range. Welsh stick chairs, settles and an Ercol sofa and chair.

Bathroom: ground floor, off the Cegin Fawr, in the former small dairy, with small contemporary roll-top bath and heated towel rail.

Main bedroom: antique cast-iron double bed and other country antiques, lovely views. Electric radiator. Note the antique bed is 6 inches narrower than a modern double.

Second bedroom: double Welsh antique box-bed (sleeps 2). Note it is slightly shorter and narrower than a modern bed and therefore not suitable for, say, two tall adults. This room is entered only from the main bedroom.

Gardens: front and rear, and fields on all four sides are yours to explore. They're left fairly wild, not manicured.
