The property
Pen Y Bryn is a majestic and beautifully proportioned family home that has been carefully and stylishly restored over the last thirty years. Reputedly designed and built as the village manse for the Davies Estate of Llandinam, the property dates from 1904.

Pen Y Bryn is a fine example of arts and crafts design and architecture. Period features and architectural details provide immense interest and character both internally and externally. Internally these details include hand turned staircase, panelled doors, window reveals, deep carved skirting boards and architraves, fireplaces, feature plasterwork cornicing and decorative tiled floors. Externally the contemporary wrought iron balcony and wide panelled front door are of significant note, the Welsh slate roof, decorative timbers and leaded windows, some with stained glass and shield details, create an impressive and charming arts and crafts exterior.

The wide front door opens to the formal reception hall where the staircase rises upwards. The dining, sitting, family and drawing rooms all enjoy excellent proportions and offer flexible accommodation for both entertaining and family living. The heart of this special home is the breakfast kitchen with Aga and beautiful hand crafted kitchen under contrasting granite worktops.

The useful study, cellar, larder, pantry, shower room and cloakroom with WC complete the ground and lower ground floors. To the first and second floors are six large double bedrooms, one with dressing room offering flexibility for a games/play room/nanny suite. These are complemented by a shower room and bathroom with walk in shower cubicle.

Outside
Externally, Pen Y Bryn is set within a horticultural oasis of landscaped gardens and grounds extending to 2.9 acres. Mature specimen shrubs, herbaceous planting, rhododendrons, ornamental box hedging and topiary are complemented by well stocked floral borders and lawn areas, including a period croquet lawn, are complemented by al fresco dining areas. The hedged vegetable garden features raised beds, greenhouse and potting shed. The useful paddock is adjacent to the stables and outbuilding.

The gravelled carriage driveway sweeps to a tuning circle in front of the house and double carport. In turn this leads discreetly to the garaging and stabling.
