Site and Context The site is located on the main road through the hamlet of Llanbethery, and between Whitwell House to the west and the garden of Ty Mawr to the east. Ty Mawr is a locally listed County Treasure, having an enclosed garden and coursed stone stable block, and occupying a central position in the hamlet. The site is 0.03 hectares in size and is described in the forms as a ‘redundant vegetable garden’, this being enclosed to side and rear by traditional high stone boundary walling, with a lower stone wall to the frontage and Leylandii trees to the boundary with Whitwell House. The overall character of the Llanbethery Conservation Area is defined in the Conservation Area Appraisal, as “mainly white painted historic buildings which sit close to the road, and the rest of the buildings which provide attractive front gardens with stone walling, trees and hedging. The rural qualities of the hamlet are reinforced by the grass verges, informal street surfaces (no pavements) and close proximity of the surrounding countryside”. Llanbethery is also located within the Lower Thaw Valley Special Landscape Area.
