-Welcome to 04Wal. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
-Our odyssey through the archives -has reached 2007. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:25 | |
-Many of our rural houses sit -perfectly within their location... | 0:00:25 | 0:00:30 | |
-..almost as though -they'd grown there from the ground. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:34 | |
-We'll visit Ceredigion -and Pentrefoelas later... | 0:00:34 | 0:00:38 | |
-..but first to Glanmerin. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
-Inheriting a house -can be a mixed blessing. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
-Alun and Iola Jones started -restoring Glanmerin two years ago. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:06 | |
-We're back here in the Machynlleth -area to see the end result. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:11 | |
-There has been a home in Glanmerin -since the 17th century. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:27 | |
-Thanks to their hard work -and tenacity... | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
-..Alun and Iola have settled here -with a houseful of children. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:36 | |
-We were last here two years ago. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
-You were totally confident -you'd get this house on its feet... | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
-..but I wasn't so sure! | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
-Yes, we originally thought -it would take ten months... | 0:01:46 | 0:01:50 | |
-..but we hit obstacles along the way -and the project took two years. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:55 | |
-What difficulties did you encounter -when you rebuilt the house? | 0:01:56 | 0:02:01 | |
-We knew we'd have to do things -such as re-roof the place... | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
-..but we used lime plaster and it -took longer than expected to dry. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:11 | |
-That held us back. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:13 | |
-The walls weren't dry enough when -we had the timber floors fitted... | 0:02:15 | 0:02:20 | |
-..and they warped. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
-This room is the heart of the house. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
-You can't enter any other room -without walking through here. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:44 | |
-Basically, it's a walkway, -so do you use it as a sitting room? | 0:02:45 | 0:02:50 | |
-There are four doors here... | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
-..and, as you say, you enter -the other rooms via this one. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
-We sit here in the evenings, -particularly when people visit us. | 0:02:56 | 0:03:01 | |
-It gets more use on weekends. -It's a very versatile room. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:06 | |
-We enjoy relaxing here. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
-Are you pleased with this room? | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
-Yes. It was far from easy but we're -pleased with the end result. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:16 | |
-Head down the corridor -and you'll reach the master bedroom. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
-Here's the master bedroom -at the front of the house. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
-Alun and Iola lie beneath -this canopy of ancient beams. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:58 | |
-This lovely room wasn't a bedroom -in the old layout of the house. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:03 | |
-It was a junk room, basically. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
-It has now become a luxurious space. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
-The great thing about this room, -other than these splendid beams... | 0:04:11 | 0:04:15 | |
-..is the breathtaking view you -can see through the Velux windows. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:20 | |
-The views are truly spectacular. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
-Was the experience of -rebuilding the house a pleasant one? | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
-It was a nightmare at times, -believe me! | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
-Looking back, I did enjoy -doing the majority of the work. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:12 | |
-I'm not sure I'd do it again! | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
-If we tackled another project... | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
-..it would be to build a new house -from scratch. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
-We'd be more in control -and have fewer shocks! | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
-We usually talk to the owners -of properties featured on 04 Wal... | 0:05:38 | 0:05:42 | |
-..but Jez Danks has been -Hendy's tenant since 1974. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
-It must feel -as if the house owns him! | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
-What makes the house so special? | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
-The history of the place. -Its atmosphere. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
-The knowledge that so many people -have raised children here... | 0:06:16 | 0:06:20 | |
-..lived here while they farmed -the land, come rain or shine... | 0:06:21 | 0:06:25 | |
-..and overcome hardship. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:27 | |
-It leaves its mark on you. -I can't explain it. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
-How were you first drawn -to the house? | 0:06:42 | 0:06:46 | |
-I wanted an old property. -I don't know why. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
-I wanted fireplaces, so I could -gather firewood and burn logs. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:55 | |
-What was the first thing you did -after moving in? | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
-I painted my bedroom. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
-I painted it cream. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
-The ceiling -in the old buttery was rotten... | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
-..so I pulled it down. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
-There was a bedroom up there -but the timber was rotten... | 0:07:14 | 0:07:18 | |
-..so I didn't replace the ceiling. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:20 | |
-I kept it as a studio. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:22 | |
-It's a feature of my time here... | 0:07:24 | 0:07:26 | |
-..that people have always been -around to lend a hand. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:30 | |
-My neighbours and my children -have always been happy to help me. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:35 | |
-I had no spare cash when I moved in -so my options were limited. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:42 | |
-I had to leave -as much as possible unchanged. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
-I often ask people -if they have plans to move house. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:28 | |
-That choice whether to stay or go -may not lie in your hands. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:32 | |
-That's true. -I've rented it for a long time. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:37 | |
-I don't mind. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:40 | |
-I enjoy living here and I appreciate -being given the opportunity... | 0:08:40 | 0:08:46 | |
-..to live in such a beautiful house. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
-Some people work hard on a house -but they never actually move in. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:37 | |
-I think that's a crying shame. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | |
-It's high in the mountains. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
-This is a lovely spot. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:43 | |
-I can see the Carneddi and Tryfan -through the windows. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:49 | |
-I can even see a small part of -Snowdon from the decking at the rear. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:53 | |
-It's really exposed to bad weather -but when it's sunny, it's wonderful. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:59 | |
-Bryn Dedwydd is a happy home -on the outskirts of Pentrefoelas. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:06 | |
-It was an old cowshed -until Paul Weston and Rob Pitwell... | 0:10:06 | 0:10:10 | |
-..capitalized on -this wonderful location. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:14 | |
-It would have been easier -to build a house from scratch... | 0:10:15 | 0:10:19 | |
-..and have lovely square corners! | 0:10:19 | 0:10:22 | |
-It took three years -to complete the project. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:25 | |
-We wanted to enjoy the project -and do the work gradually. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:31 | |
-When we were fed up, -we went on holiday for a week... | 0:10:32 | 0:10:35 | |
-..and came back feeling refreshed. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
-We never got sick of it. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:40 | |
-Were you aware of it -before you bought it? | 0:10:54 | 0:10:57 | |
-Yes, I'd been aware of it for years. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
-I never thought I'd get a chance -to do something with the building. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:05 | |
-You created a home -that has lots of character. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:09 | |
-Yes, it worked out really well. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
-It was a long, expensive process -but it was worth it. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:16 | |
-I'm delighted with the result. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
-This is the new front door. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:43 | |
-There was no original front door -because this wasn't a house. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:47 | |
-The door opens out into the hall. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
-Walk past the cloakroom -and in we go, to the new lounge. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:54 | |
-This was an old cowshed -and it had three doors. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
-There was a door -where the window now sits. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:01 | |
-Those doors -lead to the front of the house. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:04 | |
-What a lovely lounge! All the -colours are from the same palette. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:09 | |
-Red, brown and light brown. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:12 | |
-These old kilims may be worn -but they make good cushions. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:16 | |
-Dotted around the house, -with three examples here... | 0:12:16 | 0:12:20 | |
-..are Rob's paintings. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
-His style really suits -the house's character. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:28 | |
-Here's a lovely feature of the room, -it leads out onto the decking... | 0:12:28 | 0:12:33 | |
-..where you can gaze -at Snowdonia in all its glory. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:37 | |
-There's a lovely atmosphere -in the house. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:44 | |
-Sometimes, you visit old properties -and you feel a bit uneasy. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:49 | |
-That isn't the case here. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:51 | |
-I have no regrets. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:55 | |
-It's a wonderful house. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
-It's always cosy inside, -even when we have rough weather. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:02 | |

-Welcome back to 2007. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:21 | |
-We'll see the home of Hafina -and Mark Davies in Cwmgiedd... | 0:13:21 | 0:13:26 | |
-..after we've visited Gelli Fach, -Peter Lord's home. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:30 | |
-We took a look at that remarkable -property not once but twice. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:34 | |
-Art historian, Peter Lord and -Ioan, his son, live in Gelli Fach. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:48 | |
-Peter is working on an extension. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:51 | |
-It will include an office, -a spare bedroom... | 0:13:52 | 0:13:55 | |
-..and a gallery -for his art collection. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:58 | |
-Until recently, if you wanted -to extend a listed building... | 0:13:59 | 0:14:04 | |
-..you had to use the same materials -as the original house. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:10 | |
-Those guidelines changed -three years ago. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
-The idea then -was what's known as a pastiche. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
-You don't have to do that now. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:19 | |
-You must make it different... | 0:14:19 | 0:14:21 | |
-..to create a distinction -between the old and the new. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:25 | |
-That's why we used corrugated iron. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:29 | |
-It looks completely different -from the stone house. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:33 | |
-You can see what part is original -and what part is an extension. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:38 | |
-The exterior is almost complete -but there's work to be done inside. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:47 | |
-We returned to Gelli Fach -some months later... | 0:15:02 | 0:15:06 | |
-..to see the newly renovated house. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
-You were keen to create something -contemporary and very unusual. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:20 | |
-You wanted to make a statement. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |
-Did you achieve your goals? | 0:15:24 | 0:15:26 | |
-Is the extension -now a part of the original house? | 0:15:26 | 0:15:30 | |
-I still feel it makes a statement. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:32 | |
-The philosophy behind it -is greater than the actual building. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:37 | |
-It takes time -for a building to settle down. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:40 | |
-It still has that brand new look. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
-No plants have grown around it -and that will take time. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:48 | |
-There's a stark contrast -between the two sides of the house. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:53 | |
-Yes, I'd agree with that. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
-We're sitting in the area -where the old meets the new. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:01 | |
-What I like about it is the way -it's altered the axis of the house. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:05 | |
-The front door was here, -opening out onto the fields. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:09 | |
-Due to the extension, -another axis has opened up... | 0:16:09 | 0:16:13 | |
-..all the way through here. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
-I enjoy walking from the old house -into the new house. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:19 | |
-I'm aware of the fact I enjoy it. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:22 | |
-It feels great to leave the old -house, which is dark and cramped... | 0:16:22 | 0:16:27 | |
-..and step into an open space. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:29 | |
-I love it. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:31 | |
-The link between the two areas -is a success. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:35 | |
-There's an entirely different -atmosphere in here. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
-Yes, even the acoustic is different -and I really like that. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:55 | |
-You walk in and it opens right up. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:57 | |
-It's a feature -of David Thomas's work | 0:16:58 | 0:17:01 | |
-It's a large space -bit it's well-defined. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
-There are spaces -within the main space. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
-Yes, there are three areas. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:10 | |
-There's a special ambience upstairs -and we have two ground floor areas. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:15 | |
-I wanted a warmer feel -in this section. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:18 | |
-It isn't just a gallery. -It's a living space too. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:22 | |
-There's a rich, warm sofa there -and I painted the wall red. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:27 | |
-An unusual feature of this room -is that it's longer than it is deep. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:34 | |
-The shape is misleading. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
-You expect it to stretch back there -but it doesn't. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:40 | |
-The dark colour -creates the illusion of extra depth. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:44 | |
-Do you prefer the new extension -or the old house, Ioan? | 0:18:01 | 0:18:05 | |
-I like both. -They're both interesting. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:08 | |
-What do you like about this area? | 0:18:08 | 0:18:11 | |
-What do you like about this area? - -I like the shape. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:12 | |
-I'm really fond -of the shape of the ceiling. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:16 | |
-I like the railings and the fact -you can look out over them... | 0:18:16 | 0:18:20 | |
-..and see downstairs. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:22 | |
-It's very light. -How do you sleep here? | 0:18:22 | 0:18:25 | |
-We close the blind -and we wait until it gets dark. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:29 | |
-Yes, of course! | 0:18:29 | 0:18:31 | |
-It's enough for me. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:49 | |
-I'm not a megalomaniac. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:52 | |
-I have no desire -to extend it further. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:55 | |
-It suits the way I live. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:57 | |
-I see myself living here -for the rest of my life. | 0:18:57 | 0:19:00 | |
-I hope to have a chance to enjoy -Gelli Fach, just the way it is. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:05 | |
-This is the fifth generation -of my family to live here. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:40 | |
-My grandmother and my mother -were born here. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
-My children -are now being raised here. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
-My family has been here -for more than 100 years. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
-The house was half this size. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
-It was old-fashioned. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:55 | |
-There was no kitchen -and just a small bathroom. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:59 | |
-My grandfather had fitted -large windows to let in light. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:04 | |
-The house was in a poor condition. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:07 | |
-A lot of people thought we were mad -to buy the building. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:11 | |
-Hefina and Mark Davies's home... | 0:20:12 | 0:20:14 | |
-..was built as part of Aberpergwm -estate in Glynneath. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:19 | |
-Hefina and Mark live here with -Elis and Macsen, their children. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:24 | |
-Preparing the house -for the next generation wasn't easy. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:28 | |
-Did you know what style you wanted? | 0:20:28 | 0:20:32 | |
-We tried to preserve its character, -externally. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:35 | |
-We fitted smaller windows -but larger than the original ones. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:40 | |
-We kept the roof and the gables. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
-Despite the extension, the exterior -hasn't changed drastically. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:49 | |
-We spend most of our time -in this room. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:06 | |
-This is the television room. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:08 | |
-The children love it. -It's our family room. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
-This was the parlour years ago. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:16 | |
-My grandparents -turned this into a lounge. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:21 | |
-There was a fireplace there -and they'd sit here every night. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:26 | |
-Was there a wall here? | 0:21:26 | 0:21:28 | |
-Yes. My grandfather removed it -to give it a sense of space. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:32 | |
