Combining the timeless charm of a traditional Welsh Longhouse with the comfort and style of modern living, this tastefully presented home has been thoughtfully enhanced by a superb extension to create an exceptional family residence.

At the heart of the property are beautifully appointed reception rooms that effortlessly blend original character with contemporary finishes. The impressive kitchen extension with its generous proportions and abundance of natural light, thanks to a vaulted ceiling with oak A-frames and floor to ceiling windows creates an inviting setting for both everyday family life and entertaining guests. The modern fitted kitchen with granite worktops, breakfast bar/island, range oven and useful pantry, is designed with practicality in mind, flowing seamlessly into the main living areas to create a sociable and welcoming atmosphere. A dining area leads into the main living room, with steps down to the hallway, which takes you into the lounge and also gives access to the utility room and WC. Off the lounge is a third reception room, currently used as a snug/music room. All three reception rooms boast stone fireplaces housing modern wood-burning stoves. There is also a cellar accessed from the lounge. Upstairs, there are five well-proportioned bedrooms, three with fitted wardrobes. The principal bedroom has a stylish ensuite bathroom with roll-top bath and separate walk-in shower. Another bedroom has an updated ensuite and there is a further modernised shower room. Steps lead up to the loft, which has potential to be converted into further living space, subject to the necessary permissions.
The accommodation offers ample space for growing families, home working or the possibility of multi-generational living through separate front entrances, staircases and two electric meters.
Outside, the property continues to impress. The private garden has been designed for making the most of its idyllic setting, featuring a lawn and substantial decked seating area that provides the perfect place to relax and take in views of the Sugar Loaf Mountain. A covered barbecue area, large summer house and bespoke bar create an outstanding space for entertaining family and friends throughout the seasons. Gated driveway parking for several vehicles, with the potential and space to build a garage, completes this impressive home.
Despite the neighbouring cottage’s right of access across the driveway, Delfryn enjoys an excellent degree of privacy, with no overlooking windows and an elevated position that maintains the privacy of both properties.
Offering the perfect balance of rural character, contemporary comfort and exceptional entertaining space, this unique character property is a rare opportunity to enjoy country living at its finest.
Agents Note: A neighbour has a pedestrian right of way to access their side door.
