Description

This six-bedroom detached country house offers significant renovation and investment potential, set within a remarkable 35.80-acre plot that presents both privacy and breathtaking views of the Mawddach estuary and Cader Idris. The property, a Grade II Listed Georgian residence constructed in 1820, is distinguished not only by its architectural heritage but also by its enchanting gardens that draw inspiration from Italian and Japanese aesthetics. The spacious layout includes several versatile reception areas on the ground floor, ideal for reconfiguration or modernization to suit contemporary living standards. A standout feature is the multi-aspect orangery, which floods with natural light and enhances the connection to the surrounding landscape through large French doors leading to the terrace. The kitchen comes equipped with modern appliances and a central island, while additional rooms such as a Welsh parlour and utility room add further functionality. The first floor accommodates four generously-sized bedrooms with picturesque views over the estuary, including two en-suites. There’s potential for creating an independent living space with a sixth bedroom plus additional rooms—sitting room, kitchen, bathroom, and study—accessible via a secondary staircase. This layout allows for various configurations and could easily be transformed into a self-contained flat with appropriate planning permissions. Outside, the property is surrounded by expansive hillside gardens interspersed with woodland, featuring diverse plant life that contributes to its serene environment. The stone terrace at the front of the house serves as an inviting outdoor space for enjoying panoramic vistas of the garden and estuary—a truly tranquil setting reminiscent of an Italian villa. A private quay extends your access to the water directly from your grounds. Ample off-road parking is available via a private drive, alongside numerous outbuildings that hold substantial development prospects. These include a double garage, three single garages, an abandoned former inn ripe for renovation or repurposing, a coach house potentially convertible into guest accommodation or rental units (subject to planning), and even an Arts and Crafts Dovecote affectionately named "Dove Castle." Additional storage buildings like greenhouses provide extra utility or conversion possibilities. Situated at the edge of Snowdonia National Park, this property also enjoys easy access to scenic walking routes such as part of the Panorama Walk leading to Barmouth. This location combines tranquility with investment opportunity—the potential to restore or expand upon existing structures makes this property particularly compelling for those looking to create something truly unique in a desirable area. Given its historical charm paired with modern possibilities, early viewing is recommended for interested buyers looking for an exceptional project
