Description:

A superb seven-bedroom detached residence set within approximately one acre of private grounds. Believed to date back to the early 1600s, this historic home boasts an abundance of character and period features throughout, exuding charm and timeless appeal.

Set back from the main road in the heart of a highly sought-after village, this substantial and impressive property enjoys a peaceful setting while remaining conveniently close to the iconic Portmeirion Village and the renowned Ffestiniog Railway. Rich in character and versatility, the property presents an exceptional opportunity as a distinguished family home, while also lending itself perfectly to holiday accommodation, wellness retreats, or a boutique bed-and-breakfast venture. The layout further offers the flexibility to create independent living arrangements for extended family members, if required.

Stepping through the newly constructed apex porch, the welcoming reception hall immediately sets the tone for the property. Attractive original wooden panelling around the windows and door frames, a charming fireplace, useful storage cupboards, and a graceful staircase rising to the first floor all combine to create a warm and inviting first impression. The hall leads to a spacious living room featuring a large multi-fuel log burner and triple-aspect French doors and windows that frame delightful views of the gardens. Also accessed from the hall are the fitness studio, with bi-fold doors opening onto the garden, and a cosy snug. These principal reception rooms all benefit from elegant Georgian-style features.

Adding further versatility to the ground floor, the snug retains a wealth of original character, including fitted storage cupboards, bookcases, and a striking feature fireplace with a log burner.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed to provide extensive workspace and incorporates fitted appliances including an oven, hob, dishwasher, and refrigerator, while enjoying windows to both the side and rear elevations. The former coach house has been sensitively converted into a practical utility room with plumbing and drainage facilities. A rear lobby provides access to a traditional butler’s pantry offering ample shelving and storage, alongside a beautifully finished ground-floor cloakroom and an additional storage room.

To the first floor, a spacious landing leads to seven well-proportioned bedrooms and multiple bathrooms. The principal suite is particularly impressive, enjoying far-reaching views across the gardens and surrounding countryside, together with a feature slate fireplace, walk-in wardrobe, and luxurious en-suite bathroom. A connecting study or nursery adjoins Bedroom Two, creating an ideal arrangement for families with younger children. Bedroom Two itself is another generous double room, complete with a slate fireplace and a large built-in storage cupboard. A further spacious family bathroom features a WC, freestanding roll-top bath, and a large walk-in shower.

The remaining four bedrooms are currently operated as a well-established self-contained rental business. Accessed via connecting doors from the first floor of the main house, as well as through a private external staircase, this accommodation comprises four beautifully presented bedrooms, three of which benefit from en-suite shower rooms, together with a family bathroom, a comfortable lounge with an original fireplace, and a spacious open-plan kitchen/dining room.

Externally, the property is equally impressive. Approached via a sweeping tree-lined driveway, the home immediately captivates with its handsome appearance and mature grounds. The gardens are enclosed by attractive stone walls and feature extensive lawns, complemented by an abundance of mature trees and shrubs that create a private and picturesque setting. A generous tiled patio provides ample space for outdoor dining and seating, while also housing a wood-fired hot tub suitable for up to four people.

A covered seating area offers an ideal space for sheltered alfresco entertaining, complemented by a large greenhouse, a variety of storage sheds, and gated rear access. There is ample parking, together with both single and double garages. The double garage, formerly used as stables, benefits from electricity and excellent storage facilities.

Since the last EPC, there has been all new double glazing throughout the house, new front and back doors, new boilers (serviced regularly), and new radiators, as well as re-wiring, an insulated porch, and an insulated loft space.

Offering an exceptional blend of charm, character, and flexibility in a highly desirable village location, this remarkable property also presents exciting potential for further development, subject to the necessary planning consents.
