There is a rare stillness at Waungron Uchaf, the kind of calm that settles the moment you arrive. Birds and small animals wander freely to the doorstep, as though instinctively drawn to its gentle welcome. Set high above the valley, this historic house feels quietly removed from the pace of everyday life.
With origins dating back to the late 17th century, Waungron Uchaf carries its history lightly. Original beams, deep-set walls and timeworn details hint at its age, while the house itself remains warm, approachable and easy to live in. The inglenook room on the lower ground floor, warmed by a log burner fuelled from the property’s own woodland, has long been a place of retreat for Nigella and Jayne.
From the kitchen, views stretch across the valley and surrounding woodland, shifting gently with the seasons. Birdlife gathers close, red kites drift overhead, and the call of a tawny owl settles in as evening falls. Whether walking the fields or sitting quietly by the fire, life here remains closely connected to the natural world.
For Nigella and Jayne, Waungron Uchaf has been more than a home. It is a place of care and custodianship, ready to offer the same sense of calm and belonging to its next chapter.
