7 bedroom detached house for sale

An imposing detached Grade II listed former manor house, providing comfortable and spacious accommodation on three floors. Wern is believed to date back to 1568 and retains many original features including inglenook fireplaces, slate flagged floors, exposed ceiling beams and timbers. The property stands in its own grounds, extending to 2 acres or thereabouts.

The manor house was built by the Wynne family from Gwydir Castle in Llanrwst in the late 16th Century for their eldest son on his marriage, and to oversee the family’s estate in the area. It was also the home of the renowned Welsh poet Thomas Richards and is now owned by his grandson who has sympathetically maintained and improved this elegant property so as to retain its charm and character. Should a prospective purchaser wish to run it as a small Guest House there are seven bedrooms (four of which are en-suite) and the owners have successfully run a Bed and Breakfast trade with their Visitor’s Book praising the comfort, peace and tranquillity of the property and surrounding area.

The village of Llanfrothen is situated less than a mile away, whilst the popular harbour town of Porthmadog is a further 5 miles offering a good range of shops & amenities.
