Plas yn Faerdref belongs to a family of high-status halls owned by a late-medieval regional elite dating back to the 14th century. The original house has been subsequently modified around 1600 and later in the early 19th century while retaining a strong Georgian appearance.
Having fallen into disrepair more recently, the property has been completely restored. Constructed of cream lime-rendered stone elevations under a slate roof, the interior retains many of its period features including sash windows with window shutters, stone mullioned windows, plaster moulded ceilings and fine period doors and floors - the slate flooring in the kitchen and inner hall originates from the site itself.

So much so that in 1944, London’s Simpson’s, renowned for its roast beef, was offering creamed Spam casserole instead.
