The house was fully restored to exceptionally high conservation standards, with effective thermal insulation, approximately ten years ago. Character is in abundance including an oak lintel over the inglenook which is reputed to have come from one of only two medieval nunneries in Wales, complete with 15th century carvings. Upstairs are the remnants of medieval paintings on the chimney and ceiling timbers. The importance of Gwern Y Fedw is reflected in several publications including Pevsner’s Powys Guide, Peter Smith’s Houses of the Welsh Countryside and it featured in a S4C TV documentary on the history of Welsh Houses. The very well-presented accommodation briefly comprises; kitchen breakfast room, living room, dining room, snug/study, office/ground floor bedroom/family room, bathroom, first floor landing room (currently used as a child’s bedroom) and two first floor large double bedrooms. Outside there are well-stocked cottage gardens, a wild meadow and the house has a range of attached barns and a further large detached outbuilding with open-fronted garage.
