Historical Note

Maes Heulyn dates from 1907 and was designed by the celebrated architect Sir Guy Dawber who was President of The Royal Institute of British Architects from 1925 to 1927. Dawber was influenced by the Arts & Crafts movement and was known as the Lutyens of the West. Other commissions locally include Wynn’s Parc at Denbigh and Dolbelidr at Trefnant. The design was intended to provide for all the requirements of a compact modern Edwardian house and was widely discussed and illustrated in the professional journals of the day as a model for gracious modern living. In addition to the main house is a substantial coach house and stable block also credited to Sir Guy Dawber which has subsequently been converted into a pair of holiday letting cottages.

Description

Maes Heulyn is an imposing country house and looks particularly impressive on approaching the north west front with part walled forecourt incorporating a gravelled turning circle. The house is constructed of brick with rough-cast elevations and stone dressings to the external doors and gables beneath a steeply pitched Preseli slate roof which graduates in size from the ridge to the eaves. Internally, Maes Heulyn is a beautifully proportioned family house with significant architectural detailing and many original period features including fireplaces, decorative plaster ceilings, cornice work, oak boarded flooring, an impressive staircase and brass fittings to doors and windows. Whilst aspects of the house have been updated there is still scope for further modernisation but it is essentially a very comfortable family home standing in a delightful mature garden setting.
