Description

Wddyn House is an extremely attractive stone house which has a wonderful history. This is the first time it has been on the market in 53 years, prior to this it was owned by a family for 75 years and was the village shop and post office. The shop had been in the village for over 100 years and served the Rockmen and their families, who lived in Treflach and worked in the local quarry. Wddyn House was originally a Rockman's cottage, being only a one up one down and some of the original features are still in situ. The house has evolved over the years, with the most recent extension at the back being completed in 2011.

The house is a wonderful home in the heart of the village of Treflach, which is a semi-rural village with footpaths leading onto Offas' Dyke. The house offers a wonderful lifestyle, not only with the addition of a separate single storey barn, but the wonderful gardens and paddock which are tucked away behind the house and are a fabulous private idyll. Stoney Lane which runs behind the house, provides a further access, with parking, onto the land into your own nature haven.

The accommodation is spacious and offers in plenty of natural light, through large windows and French doors. There is a spacious boot room and utility which has fitted units and space for white goods, a sink, fitted shelves and a separate WC. A door leads into the family kitchen, which has farmhouse style wall and base units, offering plenty of storage, an integrated fridge freezer, a double electric fan oven, an induction hob with extractor above and French doors leading outside onto the patio and gardens. The kitchen leads into the generous dining room, which is triple aspect, with a feature brick fireplace and an electric fire and views over the pretty side garden.

Leading from the dining room, there is a cosy sitting room which has a wood burning stove within a brick fireplace. A separate door leads into the spacious open plan drawing room which is filled with natural light, having bi-fold doors the room offers the feeling of the outside in, making this space ideal for family and entertaining. Being 'L' shaped, the room is partially divided into a quieter cosy area where there is a Clearview wood burning stove and fitted bookshelves, with the family area having access to the bi-fold doors, patio and gardens.

The snug is situated at the front of the house, which was the original shop entrance. Two large windows flood the room with natural light and a feature arched fireplace shows the wonderful history of this home. A door provides access to the hall and front door, with a staircase rising to the first floor, which splits; to your right is the principal bedroom, which has a vaulted ceiling, built in wardrobes and a Juliette balcony and French doors along with an ensuite shower room with heated towel rail. There is a further double bedroom and a separate shower room. To the left of the staircase are a further four double bedrooms, a separate family bathroom with a bath and shower and an airing cupboard.

Outside

The gardens at Wddyn House are well established, with a spacious lawn extending from the back of the house with herbaceous borders, filled with colour in the spring and summer months. A gravel pathway to the side of the lawn provides a walkway to the allotment and vegetable patch which is fully fenced and extremely productive. There are a number of vegetables being grown including cauliflower, Kale, courgettes, rhubarb, salad stuff and root vegetables. Within the garden there is a greenhouse and a number of garden sheds. Beyond the vegetable allotment is a separate gate leading into a further grass area with an enclosed chicken run and orchard to your left, a separate parking area ahead with space for several vehicles, and on your right a gate leading into the paddock.

The paddock has been used previously to graze livestock including donkeys, and would be ideal for a horse, ponies or sheep with an accessible wooden field shelter in place. The field is fully livestock fenced and has a shelter belt which is also a wilding area. Beyond the paddock, a further gate takes you into the fenced apiary which is currently active with a number of hives. This area could also serve as further paddock space.

There is further parking to the side of the house with direct access onto the village road.

Wddyn Barn

The barn/annex is a separate single storey building, which is very well presented with a separate path leading from the back parking area, off Stoney Lane. The barn can be used as a holiday let or Air B & B and has been recently used to home Ukrainian refugees. The barn would also work very well for those looking for a multi-generational home.

French doors open into the spacious kitchen living space which has fitted units and a built in oven with hob. There is a separate sitting area with a door leading outside to a fenced gravel area, a separate shower room and a generous double bedroom.
