Property Description - Your journey begins as you approach the property via a sweeping driveway, bordered by neatly manicured lawns, mature trees, and lush shrubbery. At the end of the drive, a spacious hardstanding area offers ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles.

The main entrance, with its quaint stone accents and dual windows, evokes the charm of an old Welsh chapel, inviting you into the porch. From here, a generous boot room greets you with high ceilings, exposed timber beams, and plenty of space for storage. To your left is a door that leads to a separate staircase, but more on that later.

Accessible from the boot room is a convenient utility room, complete with a Belfast sink and fitted with wall and base units for extra storage. Plumbing and power for a washing machine and dryer are also provided.

The heart of the home is the expansive, open-plan kitchen, dining, and sitting area. The kitchen, with its rustic timber cabinetry, offers plenty of space for a central island, and includes an integrated double electric oven/grill and electric hob. Step down from the kitchen into a spacious sitting area, where exposed timber beams and a striking stone-built open fireplace create a warm, inviting atmosphere – the perfect setting for formal dining or cosy evenings by the fire.

From here, the main hallway leads to a ground-floor WC and reveals one of the property’s most unique features: a stunning ornate iron spiral staircase that ascends to the first floor.

The main living room is an airy and welcoming space, accessed through timber-glazed double doors. With PVC double doors leading out to the garden and a charming brick-built fireplace housing a log-burning stove, this room is ideal for both summer entertaining and cosy winter nights. Exposed timber beams add character to the already inviting space.

The third reception room is currently used as a formal dining area, but could easily serve as a second lounge. A fireplace and timber beams enhance the room’s cosy feel, while a glazed porch door offers a glimpse of the home’s history – this was once the main entrance to the property.

Now, back to that door in the boot room. If the spiral staircase isn’t for you, this traditional staircase leads up to a spacious study – perfect for working from home. Meanwhile, the main landing, accessible from the spiral staircase, offers a stunning view of the Eryri mountain range.

The primary bedroom is a light-filled, expansive room with high ceilings that enhance the sense of space. Enjoying views of open countryside, it also features an integrated shower cubicle, cleverly tucked into a partitioned corner of the room.

The second bedroom is a good-sized double, offering plenty of room for furniture and lovely views of the gardens and surrounding landscape. The third bedroom, with its ornate fireplace and exposed timber beams, has plenty of character and space for freestanding bedroom furniture.

The family bathroom is a modern space with tiled walls and flooring, featuring a large bath, hand wash basin, and WC.

Turning to the annex, this self-contained space offers independent living with its own entrance via either the lounge or the hallway outside the kitchen. It’s ideal for a holiday let, Airbnb, or as private accommodation for family. The annex lounge is bright and spacious, with exposed timber beams and plenty of room for a dining table and chairs. The contemporary kitchen features shaker-style units in a modern colour scheme, with an integrated cooker and hob, space for a freestanding fridge-freezer, and plumbing for a washing machine.

The annex includes two spacious double bedrooms, the primary being slightly larger, with ample space for freestanding wardrobes. The bathroom is light and modern, with a high ceiling, exposed beams, and a fully tiled corner shower cubicle, bath, WC, and sink.
The annex is heated via an efficient electric storage boiler, while the main dwelling’s heating system runs on an oil-fired boiler. Both properties are double-glazed throughout.

In addition to the annex, there are two well-sized outbuildings with the potential for further development, subject to planning consent. Attached to the annex is a three-door garage – perfect for a motor enthusiast or as a workshop for creative projects.

The enclosed main garden is a beautifully manicured space, surrounded by mature trees and shrubbery. There’s also a delightful orchard with a variety of fruit-bearing trees – ideal for those who enjoy making homemade jams or simply appreciating nature.

This property is truly a countryside retreat, offering both character and modern convenience in a tranquil setting. Whether you’re looking for a family home, investment opportunity, or both, this cottage has it all.

Services - It is believed the property is connected to mains, electric, water and operates on a septic tank although we recommend you confirm this with your solicitor.

Abergele and Pensarn railway station serves both resorts.

Abergele lies just off the A55 and is well known for Gwrych Castle. The town is surrounded by woodland covered hillsides, which contain caves where you can find the rare Lesser Horseshoe Bat. The highest hill is Moelfre Isaf (1040 ft) to the south of the town. There are also outstanding views from Cefn-yr-Ogof, Tower Hill and Castell Cawr (known locally as Tan-y-Gopa). Castell Cawr is an Iron age hillfort, one of several in the area.
