Fron Yw seems to be a nursing home. No street view of this place on google maps. Very few images of it but from what I can see it does not look like the mystery house.

I can't find King Edward V11 hospital North Wales - are you saying that Fron Yw was once the superintendent's house for this hospital?  :-\ The Fron Yw I found is in the middle of nowhere.

Can you provide images or links to images?

Here is what I think it is   Fron Yw,  Llangwyfan.  near Llandyrnog LL16,   Denbighshire.

It used to be The Superintendents house  for the hospital.

King Edward VII  memorial Hospital  for North Wales.

Sorry, but I can't see any resemblance  :-\

It was known as Llangwyfan Sanatorium.  The Superintendents House was at least a quarter of a mile from other parts of the hospital.  I am searching for more photos  this morning.  I have found something on Youtube on Llangwyfan  which gets close to it.

I am convinced that it is Fron Yw  Llangwyfan, Denbighshire.

All I need is to find proof.

My Auntie was a resident there when it was a Nursing Home  about five or six years ago.  Our photos are packed away at the moment.

The main entrance  is  round to the left of this photo.

Behind   the benches  you can see a low wall, that is the wall of  a fish or ornamental Lilly pond, about 5 feet wide and  about 50 feet long.  The steps go down  to a large lawn  profuse with daffodils  in Spring.

There was  a statue or a bust   of a Roman senator in that lawn.

Its a remote spot,  so streetview  does not extend to it.

Search for  Llangwyfan Sanatorium.  Superintendents  House.

It has been  an independent  Nursing home  latterly.  Up until about 5 years ago.  Search for Nursing homes for sale.   Probably  from the Chester offices  of High priced Mansions.

I can't find a picture of a "superintendents house" however there are several photos of the buildings of the Denbigh Sanitorium here (which I think is the same place as the Llangwyfan Sanitorium?):

(use back and forward arrows)

These all seem to be of a particular style which bears no resemblance to the mystery house.
