The cottage is thought to date from the early 19th century, although it could date from much earlier, last occupied prior to its current owner by a local quarry worker but was declared unfit for human habitation in 1953. Fron Goch was essentially resurrected in the late 1980s and well into the 1990s and then enlarged somewhat in 2003, thereby creating a fabulous and liveable space that's modern where required without detracting from its essential heritage. The present owners have informed us that they have used this as a holiday cottage for themselves and their family and it has been a holiday let for around 15 years and they believe that this exempts the property from the new planning restrictions, however, we would advise any interested parties to make their own enquiries regarding this. The property has been in the same ownership for 35 years and is sold without an onward chain. The main living area impresses with its vaulted ceiling and fireplace (with large wood burning stove) and the kitchen/dining room offers modern units topped off with solid local slate worktops and a built-in oven, hob and extractor. Just off the living room is a 3 piece suite bathroom and also located on the ground floor is a bedroom and modern en-suite with plumbing for washing machine. 2 further bedrooms are located on the first floor, each with its own separate staircase. Externally, the property is approached via a gated driveway. Much of the garden is lawned with patches of wild areas, a stream and many mature trees. Located off to the eastern side is a further wooded area. The property is served by oil fired central heating. The windows are traditional timber sash type with internal window shutters for that authentic touch.
