Description
Bryn Hyfryd is a particularly charming Georgian house reflecting the period detail and balanced architecture of the era. Constructed in the early 19th Century of substantial coursed stone elevations with a hipped slated roof, this is an impressive residence set in extensive grounds convenient to the town centre and its amenities.
During the 19th Century the house was used for the circuit judges lodgings when the main reception rooms would have been utilised for many formal occasions and entertaining of the local dignitary. The house still maintains its sense of grandeur, while combining with comfortable family accommodation. A double front door opens to the impressive hallway with oak stairway and polished wood floors. All the reception rooms have high ceilings with moulded detail, attractive open fireplaces and are lit by broad sash windows with views over the valley. The dining room is particularly notable having a wide bowed bay window with panelled pine reveals and shutters, fireplace with regency style surround and broad arched recess. The attractive kitchen is fitted in a farmhouse style with Belfast sink and polished granite worktops and is conveniently situated close to the dining room and cosy family sitting/breakfast room opposite.
