Throughout the whole of this time it has been in the continuous ownership of Peter and Jan Clarke since it's purchase as a country house in 1973. Interestingly the estate agent's documents commented "It is a property with considerable potential for improvement!!"
The original house was built in 1868 for a Richard Satchell whose occupation on the conveyance is given as a draper. The grounds to the house included the field next door in which the hotel extension now lies (purchased back in 1991). Over the next 100 or so years the property changed hands several times.
Following Sarah Ann Satchell's move to a property in Woodbury, Devon, also named Glen-Yr-Afon, a local pharmacist and later a baker assumed the mantle as owner of the house. In October 1960, the most significant conveyance took place to a local grammar school headmaster by the name of Horace James Hodges Padfield a well known member of the Abersychan community, and to this day people still comment that this is where their old headmaster used to live. It is ironic to consider the current use of the Glen-Yr-Afon House bearing in mind that Mr Padfield mortgaged the property to the United Kingdom Temperance and General Provident Institution.
In 1973 the Glen-Yr-Afon was bought by Peter and Jan Clarke together with another couple Rosemary and John Saunders although it soon came under their sole ownership when the Saunders' decided to leave and start a family.
