Among the spruced-up holiday cottages in the hamlet of Treleddyd-fawr is this asymmetric survivor from a former age, perfectly adapted to its climatic environment with solid walls, sheltering porch, tiny windows and ample chimneys, the whole covered in a protective, weather-cheating coat of grout and limewash. It has been the lifetime's home to an old inhabitant who saw no reason to change what had always worked for him and his forbears...back to the mid C17 when this dwelling is reckoned to have been constructed.
