Owain Pugh’s Cottage - Grade II* listed home
An extraordinary opportunity to own one of Machynlleth’s most important architectural treasures — a cruck-framed, half-timbered mediaeval hall house that once served as the Manorial Court for the Lord of the Manor. Known as The Court House and later Owain Pugh’s Cottage, this Grade II* listed home blends historical provenance with genuine lifestyle appeal. With its central gable dated 1628 ("IOWEN PUGH I UXOR"), and a remarkable 17th-century plasterwork overmantel featuring strapwork and a hand-moulded fruit basket, the interior offers a tactile connection to its civic and domestic past. The structure is believed to date back to the late medieval period and still retains its cruck-frame integrity and characteristic timber.
To the rear, two Grade II listed barns—converted by local artisans in the early 21st century—provide beautifully finished ancillary accommodation or studio spaces.

A Grade II listed gem, The Hovel is a self-contained one-bedroom barn conversion brimming with character. With vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a charming mezzanine, this rustic retreat blends history and warmth. Perfect as guest accommodation, a rental, or a creative hideaway.
The Retreat - Two-Bedroom Barn Conversion
The Retreat offers space, charm, and rustic elegance in a two-bedroom barn conversion. Featuring exposed beams, whitewashed stone walls, slate flooring, and French doors at both ends, it’s the ideal haven for writers, artists, or anyone seeking a peaceful escape with authentic character.
Garden
