About this property

A 16th Century farmhouse, Ty Ffarm at Gellilwch has been lovingly converted into a spacious and luxurious holiday home, offering the ultimate ‘croeso’ to Wales. With breathtaking views across the South Wales valleys, Ty Ffarm sits peacefully in the countryside above the market town of Pontypridd and just a 20 minute drive from the capital city, Cardiff. It is ideally located for exploring everything South Wales has to offer with excellent restaurants, pubs, shops and attractions just a short drive away. The stunning property maintains many of its original features, including a large ‘inglenook’ and fireplaces, combining modern designs and amenities with all the charm of a traditional Welsh farmhouse. The beautifully designed kitchen/diner is the heart of the farmhouse, centred by a large handmade timber dining table, fireplace with wood-burning stove and contemporary lighting. The kitchen area is ideal for hosting parties or dinners with family and friends and the farmhouse’s original walk-in cold room, perfect for chilling drinks and food also has an additional fridge/freezer. It comes equipped with everything you need for a party of 10-12 people. Also downstairs are two large sitting rooms to relax and unwind in - one is a charming traditional Welsh farmhouse inglenook room with a magnificent woodburner and the other a modern stylish lounge . Both have ample comfortable seating with TVs and DVD players, as well as a selection of books and games, which can be tailored to suit any age. Ty Ffarm is ideal for those with a love of the great outdoors and features a ground floor ‘boot room’ with sink, perfect for storing coats and wellies or cleaning up after long walks in the countryside. It also provides secure indoor storage for mountain bikes and cycles. There is also a stylish ground floor family shower room and toilet. Upstairs, this impressive property boasts five individually- decorated luxury bedrooms including a twin room, two double bedrooms, a bunk-bed room (with an adult-size bunk bed) and a gorgeous master double bedroom with en-suite shower room and unrivalled views across the countryside. The centrepiece of the stunning family bathroom, found on the first floor, is its luxurious free-standing roll-top bath and spacious separate walk-in shower. With exposed stonework together with its crystal chandelier and stylish tiling, the spacious bathroom is a wonderful mix of traditional and modern design.

Ty Ffarm is just as impressive on the outside too.
