Prince Charles oversaw the building process to ensure that it was as sustainable as possible. Welsh materials including lime plaster and Welsh slate were reused and sourced locally, local workmen were recruited, heating and hot water comes from a wood-chip boiler, and the house even has rainwater storage. The rustic design, meanwhile, is truly beautiful. Take a look…

The main reception room in the home has grand high ceilings with wooden awning. There is a traditional log fireplace with two cream armchairs, and a wooden shelving unit displaying various ceramic vases at one side. The walls are decorated with two printed tapestries. Inside there are rugs from Solva Woollen Mill, which the couple have even paid a visit to.
