A COUNTRY HOUSE IN NORTH WALES

$2.1 MILLION (1.5 MILLION POUNDS)

This nine-bedroom Victorian Gothic-style home was built around 1880 near the village of St. Asaph, in North Wales. Included in the 6.47-acre property are the original lodge house, built in 1878, and a contemporary three-bedroom gardener’s cottage built using old bricks from a wall on the estate. Not included in the asking price, but available for purchase, are a converted barn and additional acreage, said Philip Hoyle, an owner of the estate, known as Plas-yn-Cwm.

The 9,390-square-foot main house, which has high-pitched roofs, tall chimneys and a turret with a spire and mullioned windows, was held by the family of the original owner, Lucy Victoria Oldfield, until the mid-20th century, when it served as a preparatory school, before being sold to a third owner, said Mr. Hoyle. He bought Plas-yn-Cwm about 15 years ago, becoming the fourth owner.

While many of the original details remain intact, including extensive stained glass and exposed timberwork, the house is not a listed historic structure, though “nothing’s been altered,” Mr. Hoyle said. “When I’ve had to update things, they’ve all been put back to how they originally were, because that’s just how I wanted it.”

The entrance is through a large enclosed porch with a tessellated floor and stained-glass window depicting images from Aesop’s Fables. An arched door leads into an airy reception hall that has a fireplace with a timber mantel, a grand oak staircase and an ornate stained-glass window. Many of Plas-yn-Cwm’s public rooms — including a sitting room, a drawing room, a dining room and a study on the ground floor — have 14-foot ceilings, as well as architectural details like intricately molded cornices, plasterwork, window seats and wood paneling. All have fireplaces, and the dining room has a glazed bay sitting area.
