Talsarnau, Gwynedd, LL47

Built in 1616 and exquisitely restored, this magnificent house blends centuries of heritage with refined modern comfort, offering a rare opportunity to live within a piece of history.

From its striking stone façade and mullioned windows draped in ivy to its sweeping views across the surrounding hills, Glyn Cywarch is a home that commands admiration before you even step inside. The interiors have been thoughtfully reimagined to respect the building’s historic fabric while introducing understated luxury throughout. Original oak panelling, grand staircases and intricately carved fireplaces sit harmoniously alongside elegant contemporary furnishings and discreet modern amenities.

The accommodation is both extensive and inviting. Eleven individually designed bedrooms, many with en suite facilities, provide space for family and guests, each with its own distinctive charm and character. The principal suite, with its emperor bed and period detailing, offers a true sense of occasion, while the additional rooms range from refined doubles to cosy attic bedrooms, ideal for a more intimate retreat. A separate Butler’s Bothy provides further flexibility for staff or visiting guests.

At the centre of the house, the grand dining hall and adjoining reception rooms create a setting ideal for entertaining or quiet reflection. The kitchen has been crafted with both family life and professional catering in mind, featuring slate floors, generous preparation areas and high-quality appliances. Whether hosting gatherings or enjoying peaceful evenings by the fire, the atmosphere remains one of timeless grace and ease.

Outside, the landscaped gardens echo the same sense of care and serenity. Formal lawns, walled gardens and fragrant rose borders flow seamlessly into wildflower meadows and apple orchards. Beyond lie around 100 acres of private estate, a sanctuary of woodland paths and open countryside that perfectly frames this exceptional home.

Approached through an elegant stone gatehouse and a hydrangea-lined drive, Glyn Cywarch enjoys complete privacy and an extraordinary sense of arrival. Though deeply secluded, it remains well-positioned for exploring the very best of North Wales. Harlech Beach, with its vast expanse of golden sand, is just a short drive away, as is the historic Harlech Castle. The Italianate charm of Portmeirion and the scenic routes of the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways are also within easy reach, offering an idyllic balance between peace and connection.

Glyn Cywarch is more than a house, it is a living testament to Welsh history, reimagined for modern life. For those seeking a residence of distinction within one of Britain’s most captivating landscapes, it represents an opportunity unlike any other.
