The original farmhouse, however, dated from 1610 and is now on display at St. Fagan's Museum of Welsh Life. This earlier farmhouse, which is a fine example of the old Welsh Long House style of building, originally consisted of just a small parlour and a loft room. The farm must have been turning a nice profit, however, as later in the century a living room was added to the farmhouse and a back kitchen constructed on to the property later again, probably around 1750. This late addition explains the uncommon presence of two open hearths in the house - one in kitchen and the other in the parlour.DirectionsExit M4 motorway at junction 47 (services), at flyover take 2nd exit A483 (dual carriageway) at next roundabout, turn right onto A484.
