Talhenbont

Talhenbont is a two-story country house with a T-shaped layout in the Welsh village of Llanystumdwy. The stone structure features both rubble and dressed ashlar walls, slate roofing, and prominent chimneys that rise above the roofline.

The house was built in 1607 by William Vaughan and later served as a Royalist stronghold during the English Civil War. Its strategic importance during this conflict became a defining part of its past.

The house serves as a venue where celebrations take place throughout the year, bringing people together for significant life events within its historic walls.

The property now operates as an event venue for weddings and celebrations, with converted outbuildings providing accommodation for guests. Advance arrangement is advisable since access may be limited depending on scheduled events.

The entrance hall retains original 17th-century oak paneling and displays a large carved stone coat of arms on its wall. This heraldic stone work reflects the craftsmanship typical of that era.
