Vendor Insight – Pennant

Please tell us about your journey here?

“Having both originally grown up in the area and then spending most of our working lives in the north and south of England, France, and a short time in New York we realised we wanted to return to the mountains and sea of North Wales. We first saw the house in 2014 and knew instantly it was the one for us - the unique combination of a traditionally converted stone and timber barn combined with many contemporary eye-catching features. Its quirky layout enabled us to accommodate our large extended family on special occasions yet retaining its warm and welcoming atmosphere when there are just the two of us.”

What were your first impressions & enduring feelings?

“Either after a busy day at the office or an extended international business trip, the picturesque, tranquil, rural setting enables one to unwind immediately. The cosiness and log fires in the winter and numerous seating areas in the garden amongst the spring, summer and autumn flowers and foliage add enormously to the attraction.”

What is the story of the home?

“The original building dates from as early as the 16th century with the first conversion to a dwelling approximately 30 years ago. Since then, there has been further renovation to ensure the spit level accommodation reflects many of the interesting and original features such as exposed roof trusses, stonework and restored window shutters. During our tenure we feel we have enhanced the property with the addition of a Wintergarden Conservatory which enables us to enjoy the garden all year round. Also, the renovation and partial glazing of the large, detached Dutch barn has provided a unique outdoor entertainment area. This approximately 50 sq metre stone building has tremendous further potential.”

What is everyday life like at Pennant?

“We feel the open plan kitchen with island and the dining area up a few steps feels like the hub of the home during the day. The classical dining room with dual aspect windows provides an ideal entertaining area with seating for up to 12 guests. The two separate sitting rooms with exposed trusses allow for independent space when occasionally needed. The glass conservatory gives stunning views of the countryside, small copse and garden. The garden is our pride and joy having been painstakingly landscaped and reconfigured over the past 10 years.”

Tell us about why it is suitable for a family & what connections are close by?

“There is a primary school in the village and 2 secondary schools on a bus route. There are also two well regarded independent mixed schools in the locality that cater for both day pupils and boarders. Plus, Bangor university 20 miles along the coast. There are numerous opportunities for families with children to enjoy the great outdoors, with 5 stunning beaches 15 minutes’ drive away and local mountain walks and trails to suite all ages on the doorstep.

Despite its rural location the A55 is just 5 minutes away with its excellent transport connections by road with two international airports (Liverpool and Manchester) just an hour and a quarter’s drive away. There is also a station 10 minutes drive away with excellent rail links to London, Manchester, Liverpool and Chester.”

What is the community & lifestyle like?

“Being on the edge of the Snowdonia National park offers numerous opportunities for outdoor pursuits, such as walking, climbing, sailing, canoeing, paddleboarding etc… not forgetting ZipWorld and all it has to offer nearby. In the medieval town of Conwy (a world heritage site) and the Victorian resort of Llandudno there are numerous popular cafes, pubs and restaurants and throughout the year there are various cultural events in Conwy Castle and Venue Cymru.”

Can you tell us about some memorable moments?

“There have been numerous precious events at Pennant over the years including family Christmases, dinner parties, New Years Eve celebrations, Easter egg hunts and a significant outdoor gathering in the barn and garden at the end of lockdown in July 2021.”

What are your thoughts looking ahead?

“Pennant is such a versatile property we are sure it could potentially appeal to a very wide cross section of people looking for a new home.”

Your parting thoughts?

“We have really enjoyed living in and developing Pennant and hope the next owners will enjoy it as much as we have; there is still plenty of potential for them to put their stamp on it going forward. The memories we have will be with us forever.”
