THE HISTORY
Abertairnant was originally a traditional Welsh hill smallholding located
about 1000ft above sea level. A modest early 19th-century building, the
original farmhouse and adjoining dairy were mainly demolished and rebuilt
circa 2010-2015. As you approach it down the sweeping drive, the original
stone farmhouse comes into view. It is traditional-looking but thoroughly
modernised, providing a very spacious and versatile home that combines
features associated with a period house with modern amenities.
The house has strong green credentials, with high levels of insulation,
Smart Home Assistance, approximately 3.6kW of photovoltaic panels, an oil
boiler with underfloor smart heating on the ground floor, and a concealed
rainwater harvesting system. The extensive woodland and maturing coppice
provide sufficient timber to be self-sufficient for the wood-burning stove.
Additionally, the property benefits from Ultra Fast fibre broadband, ensuring
connectivity for modern living.
Set back from the lane, it is approached over a long, sweeping daffodil and
silver birch-lined drive that extends to the house, adjoining buildings, and
around to one side, providing access to the grounds, pastureland, and beyond
to woodland. It is a predominantly rural setting with far-reaching south and
easterly views across rolling countryside and beyond towards Liverpool. On
clear days, the Anglican cathedral is clearly visible.
