One of Barmouth's most iconic and desirable properties, Cynfal sits proudly on the exclusive Panorama Road, backed by its private woodland and having magnificent views of Barmouth Bridge, the coast and mountains.

The Veranda - It is easy to imagine the original owners in the roaring twenties sipping a dry martini on the veranda whilst enjoying the view which has changed little since the house was built. This charming wooden veranda is sheltered in all weathers and is a splendid example of Arts and Crafts detail. It has an original quarry tiled floor and slate steps and edging. Doors lead out from the porch and dining room making this easily accessible for coffee and cocktails and watching the world go by beneath.

Exterior - The exterior is a delight. Directly in front of the house is the magnificent veranda and a long terrace with iron railings. To the side is a newly laid slate patio with exposed granite to the rear and breathtaking views to the front. There is outside power plus a water supply and the connections are in place for the addition of a hot tub.

Cynfal sits in approximately 1.27 acres and is backed by its own private woodland which extends above and to the sides. Terraces, paths and steps meander around the estate leading up to the woodland and down to the garages. These are flanked with mature bushes, trees, flowers and herbs (some sub tropical) and the garden is a magical place to explore with several seating areas and ever changing vistas as the paths twist and turn.

In addition there is stone faced shed with slate roof built into the rock face and the original outside toilet.

Parking And Additional View Point - Directly opposite Cynfal is a large flat parking area which can easily acomodate several cars. This plot of land extends around the hillside and is a charming combination of cliff and vegetation with an additional bonus of a view point overlooking the magnificent coast which could be cleared to make the perfect spot for a table and chairs and enjoying the sunsets for which the coast is famous.

Twin Garages And Parking - Paths and steps wind down from the house to the two garages and further parking at the bottom of Panorama Road. With up and over doors, providing useful space not only for vehicles but also all the paraphernalia necessary for a day out on the water, lounging on the beach or exploring the surrounding mountains by bike or foot. Subject to planning there is the potential to create a residence in this space if desired.

Additional Information - Cynfal benefits from mains electricity, water and drainage. Heating is oil fired supplemented by the wood burner and has useful Nest control. The property is freehold.

Arts And Crafts Design - Cynfal is an excellent example of an Arts and Crafts design. Arts and Crafts houses are easily recognisable with asymmetrical roofs, often gables, and a distinctive form and structure. The emphasis is on using traditional methods of construction and craftsmanship. The houses tend to blend the charms of a traditional country cottage with a house of larger proportions, providing a quirky character which is often absent in large properties.

As the construction features are so important to the style, they tend to be exposed, with brickwork and timbers on display. Chimneys are usually oversized, leading to brick or stone fireplaces inside and the windows are often made up of smaller panes for a more traditional look. Front doors tend to be substantial and made of wood, and are often included as a main feature in a porchway.

Barmouth And Its Surrounds. - Barmouth is known as the town where 'the Mountains meet the Sea' but offers much more than that. It is a thriving seaside town with breathtaking views on the north west coast of Wales looking out onto Cardigan Bay on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park. There is a a bustling town centre with a range of shops and supermarkets and great places to eat and relax.

For lovers of the outdoors it offers walking, cycling, paddle-boarding, kayaking, and of course swimming in the sea from the beautiful golden sand beach.
