A Grand Victorian Home in an Idyllic Setting: Delfryn is a stunning mid-Victorian former vicarage, elevated within the picturesque hamlet of Abergwesyn, surrounded by breathtaking Mid-Wales scenery. Despite the secluded location, the quirky market town of Llanwrtyd Wells is just five miles away, offering shops, amenities, and a railway station.

Ground Floor:

Entrance Porch & Vestibule: A feature window and doorway lead into the hallway, which provides access to the principal rooms.
Study: A superb home office with an open brick fireplace and views over the grounds.
Dining Room: Two large windows overlook the countryside, with an original cast iron stove on a slate hearth.
Main Reception Room: A beautiful, light-filled space with double-aspect windows and an exposed stone open fireplace.
Kitchen: A farmhouse-style kitchen with ample space for cooking and dining, stone flooring, and countryside views. Includes space and plumbing for appliances.
Utility Room: Houses the Klover Ecompact 290 biomass boiler and provides extra storage.
Downstairs WC & Rear Porch: The rear porch leads to an outbuilding used for wood pellet storage.

First Floor: A galleried landing leads to four double bedrooms, each with large windows framing spectacular views. Two bedrooms feature original cast iron hearths.

Family Bathroom: Roll-top claw-footed bath, pedestal wash basin, and low-flush WC.
Shower Room: Wet-room style with fully tiled walls and feature pebble flooring.

Approach & Grounds: A country lane links Abergwesyn to Tregaron (13 miles away), and a gravelled driveway winds up to a large parking area and detached garage. This vantage point offers striking views over the rolling countryside. The house is flanked by expansive, gently sloping gardens, mainly laid to lawn with mature shrubs, bushes, and a fruit tree orchard.

The land, approximately five acres, is ideal for livestock or equestrian use. Centrally located is a charming stone-built former coach house, currently used for storage but ripe for conversion (subject to planning permission) – perfect for a holiday let or annexe.

Location & Surroundings: The property is just a few hundred yards from National Trust-owned Abergwesyn Common, with ancient archaeology, peatland preservation projects, and miles of unspoilt landscape. Llanwrtyd Wells, a five-mile drive, hosts unique events like the World Bog Snorkelling Championships and the Man versus Horse Marathon. The market town of Builth Wells, home to the Royal Welsh Show, is 13 miles away.

A Truly Special Home: This property is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully restored Victorian vicarage, seamlessly blending period charm with modern comforts. The peaceful location, extensive grounds, and potential for further development make it an outstanding country retreat. Viewing is essential to fully appreciate everything this remarkable home has to offer.
