Period detached family house with large garden and garage near village amenities.
Large secluded rear garden with raised deck and Mynydd Parys view
Penrhyn House is a spacious, characterful detached cottage on the edge of Penysarn village, arranged over two storeys and formerly two houses joined as one. The home offers generous living space including a farmhouse-style kitchen with inglenook and multi-fuel stove, 1–2 reception rooms and flexible 3–4 bedrooms — well suited to a growing family. Large, secluded rear gardens, a raised deck with Mynydd Parys views, off‑road parking for several cars and a detached garage add practical outdoor living and storage.
Practical comforts include double glazing (fitted post‑2002), mains services and an oil-fired boiler with radiator heating, supplemented by programmable electric heaters. The property has been improved by the present owner and presents many ready-to-use family spaces while retaining period features such as exposed beams, cast‑iron fireplace and slate roof.
There are some material issues buyers should note. The home has an Energy Performance Certificate band F, solid granite external walls that appear uninsulated, and primary heating from oil — factors that will affect running costs. Some internal areas show dated finishes and the kitchen description mentions potential damp; further inspection is recommended. The location is in a very deprived wider area and classified as a remoter rural community, though it benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband.
This house will suit families seeking roomy, character accommodation with substantial private gardens and parking, and buyers willing to manage energy efficiency and undertake targeted improvements. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, outlook and versatile layout.
