Parc Uchaf, Dyffryn Ardudwy

Built during the Edwardian era in the style of a small manor house, this magnificent stone-built country house stands as a striking example of early 20th-century craftsmanship, combining timeless architectural character and symmetry with an impressive sense of scale. The property exudes charm and permanence, with elegant proportions, high ceilings, and a wealth of period features throughout.

Parc Uchaf was originally constructed as the Estate Manager's house for Cors Y Gedol Hall, and has been in the same family for generations.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors and offers substantial and versatile living space, ideal for both family living and entertaining. On the ground floor grand reception rooms provide generous areas for formal dining and relaxation, while large windows allow natural light to flood the interiors. The kitchen/diner with its servant bell panel and additional utility areas complement these principle rooms.

The first floor hosts 4 generous and well proportioned bedrooms and a large family bathroom.

Character features include quarry tiled flooring, ornate fireplaces, traditional stone detailing, decorative mouldings, a pitch pine staircase and joinery with solid brass door furniture.

Externally, the house is approached via a sweeping driveway, leading to an imposing façade that reflects the property’s distinguished heritage. The surrounding landscaped gardens and grounds provide privacy and a picturesque setting, with mature trees, lawns, and ample outdoor space - all backing onto private woodlands and open countryside.

Rarely does an opportunity arise to acquire a residence of such historic character, architectural presence, and generous proportions, offering the perfect balance of period elegance and practical living.
