Marine Drive, The Great Orme, Llandudno

THE OUTLOOK is a spectacular coastal property occupying a sought-after location.
It occupies a dramatically elevated position overlooking the mouth of the CONWY ESTUARY and commands breath-taking sea views over to ANGLESEY and CONWY MOUNTAIN. It is aptly named for its truly spectacular position nestling on the slopes of the GREAT ORME, NORTH WALES most beautiful stretch of coastlines with its ever-changing seascape. Such a beautiful place, it could be anywhere in the world but has a distinctive Mediterranean feel about it.

This spacious property is much bigger than it presents from the road below and has over 2300 square feet of accommodation. To the front there is parking for three cars. The standing is block paved with attractive stone feature walling with railings above. Graded steps wind up to the property with stopping points of planted interest. It is at this point the story begins...the spectacular scenery is awe inspiring with180 degrees of southwest facing light filling the house.

The Outlook was considerably extended in 2010 to create a stunning modern home of contemporary and traditional mix of styles. It now provides spacious and highly adaptable accommodation arranged over two floors suitable for permanent or temporary occupation, be that as a family, single person or couple. There are four or possibly five bedrooms which can be adapted to studios, study, snug etc.

The house is entered via a fully glazed inner porch with an oak framed glazed door opening into a spacious open plan dining room. Here, French windows open to the front whilst four long feature windows bring in additional light.

The kitchen/breakfast room like the rest of the property, is a relaxing bright and open space accessing those spectacular sea and mountain views from the expansive windows and patio doors. Consisting of a range of hand painted shaker style units with granite work surfaces, the kitchen comes with an integrated fridge freezer, microwave and dishwasher. Cooking facilities are provided by a substantial range with a seven-ring gas hob whilst the two ovens are electric. The room opens onto the south and west facing deck with a mix of timber and glass panel balustrades that span the front of the house. There is plenty of space for a family sized table and a great place for entertaining into the evening with outdoor inset lighting.

From the kitchen, double oak and glazed doors lead into a separate lounge with a floor to ceiling window to make the most of the views. There is also a fire for cosy nights which at the moment is electric with a timber mantle but the flue can be opened to allow for a log burner etc.
There is also a utility room with outdoor access, plumbing for a washing machine and plenty of storage areas with a wall mounted Vaillant gas boiler installed six years ago.

The ground floor features a beautiful Victorian style bathroom with a free-standing bath, corner shower, pedestal sink, W.C. and radiator. Adjacent is a room currently used as a media room with ceiling projector, 7 speaker sound system and pull-down screen (all available to purchase.) This room includes wall to wall oak finished bookshelves and two windows with blinds overlooking the rear and side of the house. Alternatively, this room could serve either as a bedroom or a study.
A further room with side window along the hallway is currently a bedroom but could have numerous uses.

The showpiece of the property is the beautiful oak turned staircase in the atrium connecting different parts of the home and admitting natural light, contributing to a sense of openness, light and space. It sits in a contemporary lit gallery with oak book shelving and leads to the first floor which is flowing with natural light from the Velux windows. Here is the superb master suite with sliding doors on to a private balcony overlooking the sea and mountains. Fitted wardrobes and dressing table run wall to wall and there is access to a loft for storage. A very stylish en-suite provides that extra bit of luxury with tumble marble tiling and spacious walk-in shower with contrasting tiling. In addition, there is a chrome towel radiator, bidet, W.C. and a vanity unit with a cupboard, inset sink and lighted mirror above.

To the rear of the property is a further bedroom with a range of quality wardrobes with access to a modern ensuite with shower, w.c. with concealed cistern and a vanity unit with inset sink, cupboard above and mirror with lighted pelmet. A Juliet balcony provides views to the garden and the Great Orme.

Along the landing is a lovely large room with glass and oak framed entry and feature vaulted ceiling. The current owners use this as a study or alternatively it could become another bedroom or a first-floor lounge with its Juliet balcony and Velux windows affording those gorgeous views.
The landing also features two walk-in storage cupboards with oak doors. Internal doors and skirtings to the first floor are modern oak whilst most of the radiators have been replaced with contemporary stylings.

Outside does not disappoint with Mediterranean style gardens terraced with many established plants and interesting climbers and to the top of the steps, a flat lawn and twin decks. Here is a peaceful haven to enjoy the quiet, look out to sea and listen to the birds - it really is a special place. There are varied seating areas around the gardens to take in the fabulous location plus a summer house and gated access on to the Orme. There is also a shed and built in barbeque on a paved area between the house and the rear garden.

In this connection, the fact that the house and gardens are situated well above sea level and accessed via a flight of steps may well deter some buyers, but not all parties will take this view and in fact some may appreciate that the higher up one goes, the better the view! Indeed, the views from the house and rear gardens are quite extraordinary and are arguably the property's main attribute

This is a very special home - it has got character and charm and it totally draws you in. Well worth viewing if you are looking for a gorgeous coastal retreat. The current owners have lived there for nearly twenty years, but circumstances dictate a relocation.

The property also has the advantage of twelve solar panels supporting the electric supply and bringing in a return on average of £800 annually.
