BRIEF HISTORY AND BACKGROUND
The name – Felin Wen – gives a precise description of the main building – a white mill is what the passer-by sees. When the current owners purchased the property back in 1992, the house was listed as an industrial space, and they subsequently had to apply for it to be reinstated as a residential property. The remainder of the buildings – granary, stables, haybarn, pigsty were mostly in a ruinous condition. All of the latter buildings have been restored as follows:

The business side of the property comprises the granary (now freezer room), the pigeon loft (now an office), the stables (now a commercial kitchen), and the hayloft (storage area).

The owners have also added a high quality conservatory (brushed aluminium) to the farmhouse, and a (Hartley) greenhouse of brushed aluminium (attached to far end of kitchen).

They have spent a great deal of time and money to make the property into two residential areas (farmhouse and top two floors of the mill itself). The mill itself has been listed by CADW as grade two since they purchased it.

From the mid 18th century when the mill was built to the mid 20th century – Felin Wen has operated as a water mill (feed corn) with a small farm attached. The fifteen acres now surrounding the mill are a mixture of woodland and pasture. The property offers a diverse range of exciting possibilities and ventures for new owners to explore and continue the history of this enchanting property.
