Enjoying a superb south westerly aspect within the dramatic setting of the Nant Peris Valley, Fron Goch can’t help but stop you in your tracks with is quaint and endearing exterior surrounded by the steep sided mountain landscape – it’s a picturesque, if not romantic setting for sure! This most charming Detached Welsh Cottage offers some amazing mountain scenery, feeling slightly dwarfed by the peaks of the surrounding Eryri National Park. The cottage is thought to date from the early 19th century, although it could date from much earlier, last occupied prior to its current owner by a local quarry worker but was declared unfit for human habitation in 1953. Fron Goch was essentially resurrected in the late 1980s and well into the 1990s and then enlarged somewhat in 2003, thereby creating a fabulous and liveable space that’s modern where required without detracting from its essential heritage. The present owners have informed us that they have used this as a holiday cottage for themselves and their family and it has been a holiday let for around 15 years and they believe that this exempts the property from the new planning restrictions, however, we would advise any interested parties to make their own enquiries regarding this. The property has been in the same ownership for 35 years and is sold without an onward chain. The main living area impresses with its vaulted ceiling and fireplace (with large wood burning stove) and the kitchen/dining room offers modern units topped off with solid local slate worktops and a built-in oven, hob and extractor. Just off the living room is a 3 piece suite bathroom and also located on the ground floor is a bedroom and modern en-suite with plumbing for washing machine. 2 further bedrooms are located on the first floor, each with its own separate staircase. Externally, the property is approached via a gated driveway. Much of the garden is lawned with patches of wild areas, a stream and many mature trees. Located off to the eastern side is a further wooded area. The property is served by oil fired central heating. The windows are traditional timber sash type with internal window shutters for that authentic touch. Located on the outskirts of the scenic village of Nant Peris along with the rugged valley that bears its name, the area is home to some of the world’s most famous and challenging rock climbs. The village, which has a popular public house is within close proximity to the renowned village of Llanberis, offering amongst other things, an assortment of amenities, including convenience stores, post office, several cafes, public houses and hotels. With the historic town of Caernarfon within easy reach, your essential needs are well catered for.
