Fronwen is a handsome stone country house set in about 6.5 acres of predominantly level garden and woodland, tucked into a quiet valley on the edge of Snowdonia. The four-bedroom main house (built 1851) retains period character — exposed stone, inglenooks and cast-iron stoves — alongside practical family spaces including a large dining kitchen, boot room, pantry and utility. A southerly aspect and generous lawned areas suit children and outdoor life. A modern detached garage and parking area add convenience.
A separate three-bedroom lodge sits independently and has been used successfully as a holiday let, providing immediate income or flexible accommodation for guests or older children. The main house has recent improvements: a good-quality refitted kitchen and a newly refurbished bathroom; ground-floor oil central heating was recently installed and radiators serve the first floor. The site includes an orchard, vegetable garden, polytunnel, decked patio and wildlife-friendly woodland with a historic former railway bed running through the plot.
Practical points to note: the main house’s EPC is 52 (E) expiring 21/08/2034 and broadband speeds in the area are very slow. The lodge has some single glazing and its EPC is to be confirmed; some elements remain traditional and may need ongoing maintenance sympathetic to the period fabric. The setting is remote with very low local crime, limited nearby services and above-average council tax.
Overall this property suits a family seeking a rural lifestyle with significant outdoor space and flexible income potential, or a buyer wanting a period home with holiday-let opportunity. Inspection is recommended to appreciate the location, land and scope for modest updating while retaining original features.
