Description

Maeseithyn, Llandyfriog —

Set high above the patchwork countryside of West Wales, this remarkable home—believed to be one of the oldest in Newcastle Emlyn—is a rare blend of heritage, creativity, and panoramic beauty.

Built over three levels and nestled into the landscape, the property occupies around two acres of magical, wildlife-rich gardens, with multiple elevated decks, patio zones, and a spectacular hot tub terrace with sweeping views.

Inside, the home is full of character and original features. A canopied porch opens to a welcoming entrance hall with timber flooring and a front door reclaimed from Swansea Prison. From here, the triple-aspect dining room captures unforgettable views and offers the perfect entertaining space, complete with fireplace and picture rails.

The open-plan kitchen and breakfast room is a standout feature, fitted with bespoke cabinetry, a porcelain sink, and parquet flooring. Sliding doors open onto a showstopping deck that wraps into a light-filled sitting room with wood burner and panoramic glazing. Adjoining this is a cosy snug/TV room. A second reception space leads to a utility room, sauna suite, and wet room.

On the first floor, four spacious bedrooms all enjoy wonderful views. One includes a luxury en-suite with slipper bath and built-in shelving, while a stylish family bathroom features a walk-in shower and heated towel rail.

To the rear, the grounds unfold across multiple levels with mature trees, fruiting plants, wildlife paths, and a private summerhouse retreat. A fully equipped studio cabin offers guest overflow, creative workspace, or additional rental potential, complete with crog loft bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom.

This truly is a property with soul, having been home to internationally acclaimed vocalist and songwriter Bryn Christopher—whose platinum-selling work includes Sweet Lovin’, No Therapy, and Came Here for Love. Several of his songs were written and recorded from this very home.

Whether you're looking for a private sanctuary, an inspiring creative base, or simply a beautifully elevated Welsh retreat, Bryn Christopher’s House is a once-in-a-lifetime find.
