NewswireTODAY - /newswire/ - Newport, Gwent, United Kingdom, 2013/11/08 - Following ten years of restoration, Grade I Listed building, Llanelly House, has been brought back to life - Protectahome.co.uk.

Considered the finest early 18th century townhouse in Wales, dating back to 1714, it was originally part of a small village, located in parklands, but now stands in the centre of Llanelli; a town built around the house and parish church.

After securing £6 million of funding, the Carmarthenshire Heritage Regeneration Trust undertook the restoration and conservation of the building, instructing extensive research into the history of the house and its original condition, with focuses on architecture and design.

A century of neglect had left the only Grade I Listed building in Llanelli in desperate need of transformation in order to return it to its former glory.

Structural defects around the building required specialist repairs, and Protectahome’s experienced Structural Services Department were appointed to undertake both corner stitching and consolidation of the walls.

Protectahomes operatives installed Cintec anchors into the North Elevation of the building on Bridge Street, and the West Elevation on Vaughan Street during the first phase of structural repairs. Protectahome were also called back several times to carry out further property repairs over the coming months.

Now open to visitors, Llanelly House aims to become a unique Genealogy Research facility in 2014. It is Llanelli's premier heritage visitor attraction for archaeology, history, community, genealogy and conservation. Its history and occupants tell the story of the triumphs and tribulations of the town and the influence that the Llanelli and its people and discoveries have had throughout the world.
