Description
Clwydfryn is a detached, single-storey home formed from part of the former Trawsfynydd railway station, converted for residential use in the late 1960s or early 1970s. The three-bedroom accommodation includes two reception rooms, a kitchen and a family bathroom, with a full-width conservatory providing further living space overlooking the grounds. Railway features include the former waiting room and two platforms, which contribute to the property's distinctive character and may offer scope for alternative uses, subject to any required consents.
The house sits within extensive gardens and has a private driveway with off-road parking. It is in the Eryri National Park, with access to local countryside and outdoor activities. The property is freehold and in Council Tax Band C. An AML identity-check fee is payable by the purchaser after an offer is accepted and is non-refundable if the transaction does not proceed. Eryri National Park's Article 4 Direction, in force from 1 June 2025, means planning permission is required for specified changes of use involving second homes and short-term holiday accommodation.

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
67out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £240,000, this distinctive former railway station is priced at about £143/sqf, below the local average of £165/sqf—a useful entry point for a buyer looking to add value. The photographed interiors appear usable but dated, making this a light cosmetic project rather than a major overhaul.
The original platforms and waiting-room heritage, generous grounds and long glazed conservatory give the property character and scope to refine its presentation. The conservatory and roof condition cannot be judged closely from the photographs, so these are worth checking during a viewing.
Key opportunities
- Refresh dated finishes across the usable interiors to give the home a more cohesive, contemporary feel.
- Make the most of the original platforms and waiting-room features to celebrate the property’s railway heritage, subject to any necessary consents.
- Improve the presentation of the extensive established grounds and bright, full-width conservatory.
