Alltyferin was a Victorian paradise , built along a low ridge between the Cothi and amonir contributory. It is still approached by track along an attractive, rather ill-kempt tree-lined avenue. The lodge on the A40 was probably demolished post-War. Of the main site, there remain modest hints that something grand once existed there; a couple of yew trees, a small engine house and leet to the east of where the house actually stood, and an agricultural boundary that reflects the original south-facing terrace of the house's South-facing aspect. There is also a well-coursed wall some 3 m high to the E of the site, which perhaps formed part of the original garden enclosure.
