DESCRIPTION DESCRIPTION
PEN Y BRYN ISAF IS AN UNIQUE 17TH CENTUARY 5/6 BEDROOM FARMHOUSE RESIDENCE WITH MANY ORIGINAL ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES, SET IN EXTENSIVE STUNNING LANDSCAPED GARDENS AND NATURAL BROADLEAVED WOODLAND APPROACHING 2 ACRES.

Originally a tenanted 42-acre farm on the Pwllcrochan Estate, Pen y Bryn Isaf is thought to be the only surviving original farmhouse of its kind in the Colwyn Bay area. The present owners have records of what were probably the first tenants, the Edwards family, and the oldest recorded birth of a son in 1736. The house probably dates from the late 1600s. Partly rebuilt during World War II by a family from Surrey who moved for their safety, the original farm buildings which were attached to the house, were converted into additional living accommodation.

The property is impressively presented throughout and offers extensive and very versatile accommodation of Living Room, Dining Room, Drawing Room, Fitted Kitchen/Breakfast Room, Principal Suite & Bathroom, Home Office/Bedroom 4, Bedroom with linked Playroom/Bedroom 3 plus two further bedrooms and shower room, plus a range of outbuildings including workshop and a 2 car open fronted garage.

The lower section of the house had been separated off in the past with its own front door and would provide a self contained annex, (subject to the relevant Building Regulation Requirements), of lounge, kitchen, double bedroom and a shower room. It now has a separate heating and hot water system. At one time the small bedroom next to the shower room was a kitchen; it could easily be so again because water etc can readily be piped through from the shower room.

EXTERNALLY A sloping drive sweeps down from the main tarmacked section of Pen y Bryn Road to a courtyard providing significant parking and Garage. The Garden, as can be seen on the enclosed plot plan, is divided into two main sections, the property sits in the centre of the Gardens, which are delightful in the Spring and Summer as can be seen from the photographs.
The current owners have painstakingly created a natural informal style to the garden with colour, structure, and different outdoor rooms, giving a feeling of a rural setting yet less than two miles to the A55 Expressway.

The remaining part of the plot is a self-sustaining broadleaved woodland (using only native tree species) which was planted by the current owners in 1992. It has a rich and thriving wildlife population and adjoins the Pwllycrochan Woods Local Nature Reserve managed by Conwy Council.
By acquiring this unique property, you also become the custodian of this amazing woodland.
