Front entrance to the "new" Clochfaen, 1915.
The architect was the arts and crafts luminary, William Arthur Smith Benson.
Once in business with William Morris, and a designer in the English Arts and Crafts idiom, W. A. S. Benson is best known for his stylish and innovative lighting devices.
He also created designs for buildings, interiors, wall papers, metal-ware, and furniture.
So wrote the original owners of The Clochfaen in 1915.
Since acquiring The Clochfaen in 2000, we have striven to recreate the original interiors, while following Benson's aim of "a liveable house" for today.

The Clochfaen stands on the route of the Wye Valley Walk, one of the principal continuous walking routes in Wales.
The Wye Valley Walk extends 136 miles from Chepstow in the south to a point on Plynlimon Mountain in the north.
On the route of the Wye Valley Walk lie the towns of Monmouth, Ross on Wye, Hay on Wye, Builth Wells and Rhayader.
Of the five peaks of Plynlimon, Pen Pumlumon Fawr, at 2,467 feet, is the highest summit of the Cambrian Mountain range, about 7 miles from The Clochfaen.
The rivers Wye, Severn and Rheidol have their sources on Plynlimon, and these remote and spectacular mountain locations provide a rewarding destination for properly equipped walkers.
