Glyn Celyn, an early nineteenth-century house (nprn 25549), and its garden and grounds (301605) are situated near Felinfach, on the west side of the A478 between Brecon and Bronllys. The grounds, mostly taken up with wooded pleasure grounds, include a walled kitchen garden, to the immediate south-west of the house.
The garden is trapezoidal on plan, spanning about 1 acre (0.4ha), faces south-west and is surrounded by stone capped rubble walls, mostly intact, except on the west where some sections have partly collapsed; they stand to about 3m high, except on the south (1m high). Their lack of a brick skin suggest that this area of the site may predate the house of 1832. The east wall of the garden is the west wall of the stables. The interior of the garden is grass, planted up with ornamental trees. Lengths of mature, overgrown box hedging are the remnants of a cruciform layout of lined paths shown on early OS mapping.
