Built from soft Bath stone over 125 years ago, in a relatively wet environment, the Victorian Grade II* listed Dyffryn House is now showing signs of deterioration and allowing water in.
To make the magnificent building watertight once more, we are repairing the limestone façade, replacing the lead sections on the roof, and restoring the joinery on the external windows.
A grant of £100,000 has been received from The Wolfson Foundation to part fund the repairs to Dyffryn House.
Lizzie Smith-Jones, General Manager:
“This is an exciting time for Dyffryn House as we carry out these repairs to give this special place a new lease of life.
Over the next year, the conservation project will see all four elevations of the house restored, protecting and championing a significant part of Welsh heritage".
