A Brief History...
A property on the site of Y Fan was first mentioned in 1529 when it was purchased by Edward Lewis, a sheriff of Glamorgan. In 1583 Edward Lewis built the current mansion on the site of an existing building in 1529. The building was built in 3 parts, the mansion, the farmhouse and the barn, each 50 years apart. Sir Thomas Lewis, Edward’s son, got a charter from the Earl of Monmouth allowing him to “rob” stone from Caerphilly Castle to build the farmhouse. This can be seen in the dressed stone apparent in the structure. The family moved to St Fagans in about 1630. St Fagans is a larger version of Y Fan in architectural terms. The Lewis male line died out and around 1730 the daughter, Elizabeth was married off to the Earl of Plymouth. With that marriage all of the Lewis lands in South Wales went to the Plymouths, including St Fagans and Y Fan. The Plymouths summered at St Fagans but ignored the mansion at Y Fan which was left uninhabited for 260 years. The farmhouse was occupied by tenant farmers who were employed on the farms still owned by the Plymouths. Y Fan has been sympathetically restored to its former glory and is now a Grade II listed home of distinction currently run as a boutique Bed and Breakfast business
Additional Information
Y Fan is currently run as a boutique B&B by the current owners as a lifestyle business. Great potential to build upon what is already a successful business given the unique nature and position of Y Fan. The property benefits from an entirely new heating and electrical system as well as a new sprinkler system. The property further benefits Easy access to Caerphilly Train Station. The manor is a short walk to the to ancient meadow land which is the last 3% of its kind in the UK. This area is ideal for horse riding and picturesque countryside walks.
