Baclaw Lane, Conwy, LL32

Wow! Bryn Gwylan has definitely got the wow factor!!

Imagine waking up in this charming Welsh cottage with its traditional slate roof nestling in a beautiful position with breathtaking views stretching out before you. This could be the peaceful and picturesque home you've always dreamed of. Situated roughly 1.5 miles to the south of the historic Conwy town whilst enjoying a splendid easterly aspect commanding exceptionally scenic views across the Conwy valley and river to the rolling lush countryside located to the east, including the magnificent Eryri mountain range (Snowdonia) from the garden. Bryn Gwlyan certainly sits well within its surrounding, catching your eye with its whitewashed walls and manicured gardens. This really could be a dream come true if you’ve been craving a countryside home that truly delivers when it comes to its surroundings and with the Henryd promontory roughly 0.5 mile as the crow flies, what could be better!

The position affords the enjoyment of morning and afternoon sunshine to the front and its southerly facing elevations where the principal garden resides - a place to truly appreciate the pleasing surroundings and exceptional vista. With the coastal castle town of Conwy just a few minutes’ drive away and easy access to the A55, mainline railway service, the
Victorian resort of Llandudno and the beauty of the Eryri National Park, we cannot recommend the area highly enough.

Bryn Gwylan stands within approximately 1.4 acres of garden grounds but has the benefit of an additional one acre of pasture land rising above it and from where you can enjoy spacious lawned gardens with a lovely mix of colourful plants, shrubs and mature trees. A wide and extensive gravelled drive leads to an attached double garage. A further section of the garden to the rear of has been purposely left to nature yet comes with numerous mature fruit trees and many other mature trees which in turn border open farmland – for the enjoyment of nature and wildlife in general, you’re definitely well catered for.

Although the property is in need of some updating, this is a home of much charm and character with thick walls, deep window sills, window seats and beamed ceilings. Welcoming you to the residence is a spacious entrance hall (with WC) and two distinctly different reception rooms to either side. Firstly, you can’t help but be drawn to the sitting/dining room with its vaulted ceiling and superb southerly outlook towards the Conwy river and mountains beyond.

This is a light and bright room with a triple aspect and sliding patio doors. It’s where you’ll also find the farmhouse style kitchen with its Aga range centrepiece plus there’s also a dedicated utility room adjacent and traditional pantry. The lounge on the other hand is not just spacious but comforting with its large wood burning stove. From here there’s access to a conservatory (in a sheltered courtyard) and in turn a useful attached outbuilding/potential hobbies room.

Two large bedrooms reside on the first floor, each with their own merits and appeal and both enjoy en-suite facilities. The larger of the two has a dressing area and its generous en-suite features modern appointments whilst the other en-suite has a mini seated bath which in turn leads to a mezzanine/office which overlooks the kitchen. It’s good to know that located above the garage is a most useful loft which would be perfect for general storage purposes or indeed as a superb hobbies/games room. The garage has the potential to be converted to an annexe subject to consents (planning granted previously). The property comes predominantly double glazed and fitted oil central heating.

There is of course plentiful private parking, sufficient for a number of vehicles and a wide purpose-made layby on the approach, adjacent to the roadside. The inclusion of a cattle grid is perfect for stray sheep who might be tempted to sample where the grass is greener! In addition to all that’s mentioned above is a petit garden room and sizeable workshop which could be ideal for office space or similar.

The property is surrounded by beautiful countryside, the lush Vale of Conwy and the hidden gem that is the Sychnant Pass. It is a remarkable location where the rugged hillsides of Eryri (Snowdonia) tumble towards the sea, giving way to more greener and rolling countryside. The Conwy marina* and the walled castle town is just a short drive away where you will find a whole host of useful amenities, goods and services and its magnificent 13th century castle built by Edward I. Conwy has a mainline railway station providing easy links to Holyhead, Bangor and indeed London whilst the A55 expressway provides all the essential links, making access to this corner of North Wales a breeze. There are an endless list of recreational sites and places of interest locally. Neighbouring Deganwy has useful marina and maritime facilities, there is a multi-plex cinema complex in Llandudno Junction whilst the bustling Victorian resort of Llandudno has a Victorian pier, theatre and music/arts venue and numerous other attractions of a dry ski slope, toboggan run, cable car and tram rides to the summit of the Great Orme.

*For sailors, the present owner has a berth on the marina which is available to purchase separately if wanted.
