Summary - GLANFFRWD ABBEY ROAD LLANGOLLEN LL20 8SS
5 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious period house with sunny garden and workshop.
Four storey Victorian home with river and railway views
Glanffrwd is an imposing four‑storey Victorian house on Abbey Road, set above the River Dee and Llangollen Railway. Spacious reception rooms, a modern lower‑ground kitchen/dining/day room and five bedrooms provide flexible family living across generous floorplates. The house retains period character — sash windows, high ceilings and bay windows — while benefiting from recent upgrades including underfloor heating and 16 owned solar panels that reduce running costs.
Practical features include a useful garage/workshop with power, utility room, a lower‑ground shower room, and plumbing already in place on the top floor for an additional bathroom. A sunny, two‑tier rear garden with patio and off‑street parking make the property well suited to family life and outdoor entertaining, with front and rear views that are a standout asset.
Buyers should note material negatives: the property is in a very deprived area with above‑average local crime rates, council tax is described as expensive, and broadband speeds are slow. Drainage is by septic tank. Cavity walls are original and assumed to lack insulation, which may affect thermal performance despite the solar panels and underfloor heating.
This home will suit buyers seeking a character family house with strong location and scenic outlooks, and those prepared to manage or invest in further energy improvements and connection upgrades. The accommodation and plot size give potential to adapt spaces, add insulation, and improve connectivity while enjoying a rare riverside setting within walking distance of town amenities.
