About
Cefn Y Ffynon Farm Barn A charming, characterful rural barn in a beautiful countryside setting, yet conveniently close to Colwyn Bay, Llanelian village and the A55.
Cefn Y Ffynon Farm Barn is a basic but charming rural property, set well back from the road and surrounded by beautiful open countryside.
The barn is situated alongside the main farmhouse and enjoys a peaceful rural setting with wonderful views.
Despite its countryside location, the property is very conveniently positioned for Colwyn Bay and the North Wales coast.
Colwyn Bay town centre is approximately 1½–2 miles away by car, while Colwyn Bay Railway Station is approximately 2 miles away, making the station readily accessible by car.
The A55 North Wales Expressway is only a few minutes' drive away, giving particularly convenient access in both directions.
Travelling east, the A55 provides a straightforward route towards Abergele, Rhyl, Chester, the Wirral and the wider North West motorway network.
Travelling west, it provides easy access towards Conwy, Llandudno, Bangor and further into North Wales.
The barn is close to the attractive village of Llanelian, which offers a traditional village atmosphere and a popular country pub.
The surrounding countryside is one of the property's particular attractions, with excellent opportunities for walking, quiet country lanes and beautiful open views across the surrounding farmland and hills.
It offers the best of both worlds, a typical rural setting with countryside on the doorstep, while Colwyn Bay, the railway station and the A55 are all within easy driving distance.
The accommodation is basic but charming, retaining much of the character you would expect from a converted rural barn.
The property has a large open-plan living space with open rafters and a rustic finish, creating a spacious and characterful main room.
A large wood-burning stove provides a wonderful focal point and makes the living area particularly cosy during the colder months. The kitchen is a basic set of base units with a sink.
tenants to provide their own electric oven. The property also benefits from electric thermo-controlled ceramic core heaters, recently installed to provide additional heating.
The bathroom is located on the lower section of the barn and comprises a modern suite, tiled floor and tiled walls, together with plumbing for a washing machine.
Bedroom & Crog Loft The main bedroom is a large double bedroom, with recently insulated walls and a lovely outlook over the open countryside behind the barn.
A second smaller room is accessed by ladder and forms a cosy Crog Loft-style upper room.
This unusual additional space could be used as a small second bedroom, occasional sleeping space, home office or study.
Outside & Parking The barn is located immediately adjacent to the main farmhouse and benefits from allocated parking for the tenant.
Note There is no enclosed private garden, and the property is surrounded by working farmland.
Livestock and farm machinery are present in the surrounding fields, so the property is best suited to someone who enjoys a genuine rural environment.
Pets are not preferred because of the close proximity to working farmland and livestock, particularly sheep, as well as farm machinery and the lack of an enclosed garden.
