Approaching Pen y Don, a gated driveway flanked by traditional stone walls provides access, with a separate lane giving direct entry to the outbuildings and paddocks. The house is arranged as two distinct wings. The northern wing features a spacious kitchen-diner, reception room and dining room, each served by its own front door and staircase; the southern wing comprises a formal living room with an attractive fireplace and a useful utility room.
On the first floor the northern wing provides three bedrooms, a family bathroom and an ensuite off the third bedroom, which links through to the southern wing. The southern first floor contains the principal bedroom with ensuite and an additional bedroom also served by an ensuite. Although the property is currently occupied and rated as a single-family home, the interconnecting layout offers flexibility for multi-generational living.
Outside, a terraced patio opens onto well-kept lawns with a summer house, stone shed and greenhouse, while a secondary driveway loops around the garden to the workshops. The outbuildings include a substantial stone building with excellent conversion or redevelopment potential (subject to planning consent), a range of garages and sheds, and a modern, secure workshop with concrete floor and services.

Flood Risk
Natural Resources Wales open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
