Some homes look out on history. Bryncenydd House stands within it. Set inside the grounds of Caerphilly Castle, this is one of only a handful of private residences in the entire United Kingdom to hold an address within a castle's own estate a distinction that simply cannot be built, bought elsewhere, or replicated. Begun in 1268 by the Norman Marcher lord Gilbert de Clare, Gilbert the Red, Caerphilly is the largest castle in Wales and the second largest in Britain after Windsor. It was the first truly concentric fortress in these isles walls within walls, ringed by vast man-made lakes that were the engineering marvel of their age and the blueprint for every great castle that followed. Its walls withstood a siege by the armies of Queen Isabella in 1326, and its famously leaning south-east tower has out-tilted Pisa for the best part of four centuries. To live here is to wake each morning to thirty acres of medieval Wales on your doorstep, the drum towers and glassy moat catching the earl
