AN intriguing North Wales property is now on the market with Cavendish Residential.

Ysgubor Uchaf, located in Maerdy, is available with the agents for £895,000.

The name Ysgubor Uchaf means ‘High Barn’ in ancient Welsh, which gives a clue to its possible past as a Bishop's Long House in medieval times.

The presence of crook beams in the building also suggest it was a residence long house before it was used as a barn.

Whatever its history, it was lovingly converted in the early 2000s to provide an exceptional family home combining a wealth of the original features with modern convenience, particularly with the underfloor heating and double-glazed windows and doors.
