Notes on MYNACHLOG FAWR, Ystrad Fflur, Pontrhydyfendigaid, Ceredigion 2016
A revisit to this house - there was once talk of renovating this site into a museum - it would be a fantastic site but I have seen little change since the 2011 visit. A few slates seem to have fallen off the roof but mostly it's all in a relatively good condition.
(Also known as Great Abbey Farm, Strata Florida).
A large house, grade 2 listed (in 1963), nestled in a farming complex and besides the ruined abbey of Strata Florida. The road that runs through the yard is a relatively recent addition and will be, once the house has been restored, re-directed around the barns. Lampeter University have recently purchased the house with plans of consolidation work in process. The house itself seems to be in a good condition but looking a little sorry for itself. The rear roof seems to have been re-roofed recently. The small building on the right hand side was once the kitchen.
