The property retains numerous original features such as flagstone floor to the hallway, Jacobean-style wooden panelling within the dining room and single glazed sash windows, all of which are attractive features giving the property much character.

This property has 4 acres of land.

Outside

Top-y-Fron Hall is approached off Kelsterton Lane by a short driveway which leads to the rear of the main house and garage buildings. The property looks out across the parkland and woodland to the north-east, towards the Dee Estuary.
