Set high above the Dyfi Valley, Creigfryn is a substantial Victorian cottage occupying about 2.5 acres with panoramic valley and mountain views. The property combines generous living space with a large range of stone outbuildings and paddocks, offering scope for hobby farming, storage, or business use. Its elevated sun room and main reception rooms make the most of the outlook and light.
Inside, the house retains many period features: exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace with multi‑fuel stove, original floorboards and a mosaic‑tiled hall. The ground floor layout includes three reception rooms, a well‑equipped kitchen with useful larder, plus a large external utility. Upstairs are three double bedrooms and a single family bathroom. The broad driveway, covered car port and large garage/workshop provide extensive parking and practical storage.
Outbuildings are a major asset: multiple barns, a hayloft and a two‑storey stone building with loose boxes create genuine development potential for conversion or diversification, subject to planning consent. Note that previous permission for converting Barn 1 and the workshop has lapsed, so any redevelopment would need fresh applications.
Practical considerations are clear and upfront. The EPC rating is F37, indicating poor energy performance and likely higher running costs until improved. There is only one bathroom for three double bedrooms. The house sits in a remote hamlet — peaceful and secure but around 15 minutes’ drive to Machynlleth and further to coastal or national‑park amenities. Council tax is described as expensive. These points suit buyers seeking rural space, renovation potential and privacy rather than a low‑maintenance, urban commute property.
