Location

Erw Grug is enjoys a tranquil rural setting on the edge of Mynytho within close proximity to Abersoch which has been long regarded as one of the most desirable seaside villages on the Llyn Peninsula. It occupies a prominent yet private position in a south facing garden with spectacular views of the coastline taking in the Snowdonia Mountains, Abersoch Bay and St Tudwals Islands. The views extend west across attractive countryside towards Hells Mouth which forms the backdrop for the most spectacular sunsets. The property is within walking distance of Mynytho which is essentially a rural hamlet with village store and post office whilst Abersoch and Pwllheli both offer a more comprehensive range of services with parades of shops, supermarkets, restaurants and pubs. Abersoch benefits from an expanse of sandy beaches and excellent water sports being home to the South Caernarfonshire Yacht Club complemented by an impressive marina complex at Pwllheli. On the recreational front there is extensive walking in the foothills of Snowdon and mountain biking, access to numerous castles & historic houses and the popular Ffestiniog mountain railway. For golfing enthusiasts there are several courses locally at Abersoch, Nefyn, Pwllheli, Porthmadog and Harlech.

Communications

The area enjoys good road communications via the A55 Expressway which is 6 miles beyond Caernarfon which has recently been by-passed allowing for ease of access along the North Wales coast to Chester, Liverpool, Manchester and the national motorway network. From Pwllheli there is a rail service along the North Wales coast to Chester and from Bangor Station a regular rail service to London via Crewe.

Description

Erw Grug is believed to have been commissioned for a local school teacher and was built in 1937. It is a detached 4 bedroom house constructed for the most part of stone with white painted rendered elevations incorporating double glazed windows beneath a hipped slate roof and it has the benefit of oil central heating. Since it was built, Erw Grug has not been extended and as such offers tremendous potential for those buyers that aspire to create a larger house with little risk of over capitalising owing to the generous sized garden and the spectacular views. Whilst requiring a scheme of modernisation Erw Grug is a well-built property and internally benefits from some attractive architectural detailing including an impressive staircase, feature fireplace, original built-in cupboards and wooden boarded floors. The accommodation is both light and airy with high ceilings and the majority of the rooms take advantage of the southerly aspect and views. Furthermore there is no need to re-design the layout but there is clearly scope to create a more open plan kitchen with living space off whilst at first floor level the introduction of en-suite bath/shower rooms is also easily achieved.

Gardens & Grounds

Erw Grug benefits from standing centrally within a generous and extremely private south facing garden. It is screened from the lane behind a stone wall with established privet boundary hedges and is accessed from the lane via a five-bar gate. The gated entrance opens on to a gravelled drive which leads to a parking and turning area adjacent to the garage. To the front of the house is a path leading to the front door and against which there is a retaining wall with raised bed containing hydrangeas, azaleas and lavender. From the driveway steps lead up onto a gently sloping lawned garden extending across the north front with path and pedestrian gate onto the lane. Within the garden are a selection of mature trees including macrocarpa and yew together with established shrub borders containing hydrangea, hebe, skimmia, camellia and a selection of flowers. Against the back door is a small patio area and within the lower lawned garden a shrub border and raised terrace with seating area from which there are commanding sea views. The attached garage (17’1’ x 9’7’) is accessed via double doors and incorporates a workshop area. The garage has a concrete floor & power supply and at the far end steps lead up to a useful lofted storage area with restricted headroom and 2 sky lights.
