When most people are rushing along the M4, in either direction, trying to keep up with, and maybe ahead of, a busy schedule, it's likely they are unaware that they are driving past a pocket of peace where the properties offer the lucky owners a slice of rural bliss.
A few miles north of junction 36 near Bridgend there is an idyllic island of wood, hills and water near the medieval village of Llangynwyd within the beautiful Llynfi valley.
Nestled within this mainly hidden slice of the south Wales valleys within the area known as Lower Llangynwyd is a historic corn mill thought to be over 220 years old called Melin Pontrhydcyff. And it is a very special property.
