Holyhead Road, Bangor, Gwynedd, LL57

Built in 1959, when it won an award for the best designed property on the Straits, Drws Y Bont occupies a unique waterfront position where properties seldom come on the market. It occupies a private cul de sac position and is very conveniently placed within five minutes' drive of the main university campus, Ysbyty Gwynedd, the railway station, the A55 expressway with its speedy links to Chester and Holyhead, a range of schools in both Bangor and Menai Bridge, Waitrose and Menai Bridge with its wide range of restaurants.

The property also has good access to the lakes and mountains within the Eryri National Park and to Anglesey with its wide range of sandy beaches, its coastal paths, a variety of watersports activities and a range of golf courses.

Drws Y Bont offers spacious, versatile and well maintained accommodation with a wealth of appointments throughout with particular features including an extremely spacious lounge with large picture windows taking full advantage of the views, a superb kitchen with a comprehensive range of built-in appliances and an AGA range, four bedrooms - with the master and second bedrooms both having en-suite dressing rooms and shower rooms, a dining room off the kitchen and a delightful morning room with an AGA multi-fuel stove. With the exception of the master bedroom with its en-suite dressing room and shower room, the accommodation is all arranged at ground floor level with the majority of the rooms facing the Straits to take full advantage of the views. Radio controlled main entrance gates open into a large brick paved driveway which provides extensive parking and leads to two double garages, one of which has potential for conversion to provide further accommodation (subject to the usual consents), with the other garage extending to form a useful double car port.

The property is of brick/concrete block/stone construction with mainly rendered and painted elevations under a pitched slate roof. The main garage is of concrete block construction with rendered and painted elevations under a pitched slate roof. The second garage is of timber framed construction under a pitched corrugated steel roof.
