Description

Glyn yr Aur is a beautifully converted stone barn, set beneath a slate roof and positioned in a wonderfully secluded spot at the end of a council-maintained no-through road. From its elevated position, the property enjoys uninterrupted panoramic views across open countryside towards the stunning Rhinog Mountains.

Despite its peaceful and private setting, the property is not isolated, with neighbours nearby and easy access provided by a well-maintained road.

During the current ownership, the property has been carefully maintained and thoughtfully improved, including a new Worcester gas central heating boiler, Hive system and Starlink broadband.

The grounds extend to approximately half an acre, featuring a front driveway with patio seating area, a lawned rear garden, and an additional side parcel of land, formerly a paddock. All outdoor spaces take full advantage of the exceptional surrounding views. To the side of the property is a lean-to greenhouse and to the rear of the property there is an attached outbuilding providing useful storage space.

Accommodation is entered via the front door into a spacious open-plan sitting, dining, and kitchen area. A large picture window frames the spectacular outlook, while a Charnwood Arc 5 multi fuel stove (installed 2020) creates a warm focal point. The kitchen is fitted with oak units and integrated appliances. From here, access leads to two bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room and countryside views together with a well-appointed main shower room.

Opportunities to acquire properties of this character and quality are rare, and viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the unique setting and charm of Glyn yr Aur.
