- Rewind the clock to November 2014 and gain an insight into the process we go through before finalising a scheme for the use of the building.
Llwyn Celyn is a Grade 1 listed building of the late 15th century, now in peril. It is regarded by Cadw as one of the finest medieval houses in Wales, and was once part of the Llanthony Priory estate in the Black Mountains region of the Brecon Beacons National Park.

What an amazing and wonderful look you've given us into what must often be very delicate decision making. As an American, we have nothing - nothing that comes close to the situation you've documented here. Thank you for creating a powerful learning tool. Everyone should see this video.
I just found this channel. No muss no fuss, just great content. Thanks!
Wonderful to see the backstory of all the considerations that go into modifying a traditionally built historic building.
Please more update videos!
Great work... one more piece of history saved...
Such beautiful videos. Thank you.
Its the first time i have heard of a grade one listed building!
How much did you buy your property and how much did you pay to restore it ?
You need to show us the physical work and finished product.
The levelling of floors is a too big issue, drowning in the restoration.
Ooh it's just like our old farmhouse! I would love to reinstate the cross passage and a widow in the larder... Also a door. Do you have someone who could advise us?
Only
This is a wonderful video, which I have enjoyed very much. If, however, things such as differing floor levels will be be made level, in order to adhere to current health and safety regulations and disability needs, then I fear we may have seen it at its best, even in its current, broken down state. Of course some H and S rules should be adhered to, such as fire regulations, removal of asbestos etc; but to impose twenty-first century regulations, such as uneven floor levels, on what is an essentially medieval and seventeenth-century building, then it is a pity that the Landmark Trust now has custody of it. It is things such as steps incomprehensibly leading up, and then down, that gives such buildings their character. Of course disabled people (I am one myself) should be able to enjoy such buildings, but there has to be some common sense applied to such issues, to which other options are open.
This is a very interesting video, but it would be improved by better sound.
I Want to rebuild a smaller scale one myself.. I have some cash funding - no bank help.. Is there anything available at all.Thank you.
You make everything absolutely f*,cked
One of the finest medieval houses in Wales having to accommodate the disabled is nonsense. That is not restoration, that is "fixing it up".
Why would a farmhouse have a raised dais?
Current health and safety laws sacrifice historic structure original details.
75% of the budget must have gone to the consultants.
