Fronwen is a handsome four-bedroom period home set in about 6.5 acres of lawn, orchard and woodland on the fringe of Snowdonia. The stone and slate house dates from 1851 and retains character features — exposed stonework, inglenooks and cast-iron stoves — alongside practical modern upgrades including a recently refitted kitchen and a refurbished family bathroom.
The house is south-facing with generous, adaptable rooms: a large dining‑kitchen (formerly two rooms), sitting room, boot room, utility and an exceptionally large pantry. Grounds include lawns, orchard, polytunnel, chicken run, timber stores, a detached block garage with electric roller shutter and a generator store. The land is bisected by the original Corris Steam Railway bed and offers direct woodland access and privacy.
Practical points to note: the property has an EPC rating of 52 (E) and oil‑fired central heating recently installed to the ground floor with radiators to the first floor. There is just one bathroom, broadband speeds are very slow, and the house sits within a very deprived area classification. Council tax is above average. Buyers should expect typical maintenance for a 19th‑century stone house and factor in upgrades if faster connectivity or additional bathrooms are required.
This home will suit a family or buyer seeking rural lifestyle and outdoor pursuits — walking, climbing and mountain biking are on the doorstep — and those who value period charm plus scope to personalise. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the setting, flexible internal spaces and substantial grounds.
