Brynhyfryd is a substantial 17th‑century detached country house set in approximately 6.65 acres, with wide elevated views over the Berwyn mountains, River Dee and Dinas Bran. The main house retains original features — exposed timbers, slate and timber floors, large inglenook fireplace and a Juliet balcony to the master bedroom — while a self‑contained annexe and substantial double‑height barns increase usable space and future income or development potential (subject to planning).
The grounds include formal gardens, a small productive orchard, greenhouse, vegetable patch and extensive adjoining fields suitable for equestrian use or smallholding. The annexe has its own access, private garden and simple accommodation; barns and loft spaces offer scope for conversion, holiday let or agricultural uses, again subject to necessary consents. Fast fibre broadband is available to the area and mobile signal is excellent.
Important practical points: the property needs renovation and updating in places, including insulation (stone walls assumed uninsulated) and general modernisation. Services are private — water from a shared private supply with filtration and UV treatment, and drainage via septic tank/soakaway. Heating runs on oil with a Worcester Bosch boiler fitted in 2022 and Hive controls. Council tax is high and the area records above‑average crime rates. Access is along an unsurfaced track.
This is a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a character country home with acreage — suitable for family living, smallholding or equestrian pursuits — or for investors/occupiers who can manage a renovation and explore barn/annexe development potential (planning required). The property is chain‑free, offering quicker completion for a buyer ready to take on a project.
