Danyfan is an impressive Edwardian home with a detached two-bedroom annexe, double garage, generous gardens, a glamping railway carriage and a paddock; offering a rare combination of character, space and versatility.

On the ground floor, the entrance porch and hallway lead to two interconnecting sitting rooms, divided by folding doors, ideal for opening up the space for larger gatherings and entertaining. The kitchen/dining/sitting room is a practical and welcoming space with wooden flooring, base cupboards, wooden worktops, a breakfast bar, range cooker, ceramic sink and plumbing for a dishwasher. An archway leads into a bright and airy breakfast room with patio doors opening onto the garden. There is also a useful cloakroom and a conservatory that enjoys garden views. Upstairs, the first floor has a spacious landing, four bedrooms (two with en-suites), and a well-appointed family bathroom. Two of the bathrooms feature attractive roll-top baths. On the second floor is a fifth bedroom and a bathroom/laundry room.

The annexe, a charming converted stable block, is ideal for holiday letting or as independent accommodation for a family member. Finished to a high standard, it offers light and well-designed spaces. The ground floor includes a living room with a wood-burning stove and French doors to the garden and an open-plan kitchen with slate flooring, underfloor heating, fitted cupboards, wooden worktops, a cooker and plumbing for both a dishwasher and washing machine. There is also a bedroom and a shower room on this level. Upstairs is the second bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom.

Outside, the property is approached via a driveway with a circular turning area and access to a double garage (5.20m x 4.19m). Surrounding the house are paved areas, a bin store and a garden shed, while the mature gardens include lawns, well-stocked borders, trees and a stream, creating a peaceful and private setting. In total there is 1.78 acres.

The annexe benefits from its own screened rear garden, offering a private outdoor space. Beyond the formal garden are raised vegetable beds, a greenhouse and two espaliered fruit trees. Further still is a paddock, wood store, chicken run and a wild off-grid camping area, featuring a converted railway carriage used as sleeping accommodation, an open-air shower and a composting toilet, perfect for glamping or additional guest space.
