3. Ty’n y Coed was built between October 2017 – September 2019 as evidenced by the planning permission granted September 2017 and building sign off November 2019.
We bought Sycamore bungalow in August 2013 with the intension of demolishing the bungalow and replacing it with an eco build house. The house, Ty’n y Coed, is part submerged into the bank on a steeply falling site providing earth insulation on three sides making it more energy efficient. It is an unusual shape being almost oval and has a green sedum room that provides a slow drainage of brown water used to water the garden. Hot water and heating are provided by air source heat pump.
4. There is a stone and cedar built registered bat Roost in the garden required as part of the planning permission being granted. This provides accommodation for horseshoe, Common pipistrelle, Soprano pipistrelle, Nathusius' pipistrelle, and Natterer's bats. An open fronted car port is next to the house a potting shed and greenhouse along with a wildlife pond are within the three-quarter acre of garden.
5. To build the new house the small chalet style bungalow (known as Sycamore Bungalow) needed to be removed. The bungalow was stripped and full recycled except for the asbestos sheets that formed the outside covering to the walls. The bungalow was owned by Mrs Gwen Jones and her husband Danny. They moved to Sycamore bungalow in 1963 until Gwen moved into a nursing home in 2012.
