Caernarfon Road, Y Felinheli, Gwynedd

The property
Melan is an outstanding architect-designed contemporary property, divided into a house and two apartments which all offer light, airy, luxury living, in a sought-after position in northwest Wales, overlooking the Menai Strait between the mainland and Anglesey. The house has beautiful white rendered elevations and includes a three-bedroom on the upper level, while dropping away at the rear to reveal the lower apartment, both of which offer views across the water.

The upper property features a variety of stunning bespoke details, including its breathtaking central spiral staircase, and its elevated outlook at the rear, making the most of those waterside views. Entered at ground level, the welcoming reception hall features tiled flooring and an impressive spiral staircase with a curved laminated wooden balustrade leading to the upper level, where a magnificent 38 ft open-plan living and entertaining area can be found. A vaulted ceiling, sliding glass doors, overhead skylights and gable-end windows flood the space with natural light and provide access to an elevated balcony overlooking the water. The space includes a bespoke kitchen with striking modern styling and integrated appliances, along with ample room for a large seating area and a dining table.

One en suite bedroom is located on the first floor, while the ground level offers two further generous, well-appointed double bedrooms, each with its own en suite and dressing area, and both opening onto the lower balcony via sliding glass doors. One of the bedrooms also features a freestanding bathtub. The lower level additionally provides access to a useful utility room.

The two lower apartments have their own private entrances and matching layouts, which include an open-plan sitting area, dining area and kitchen with clean, neutral styling and contemporary fittings, and sliding glass doors opening to the balcony. Off this comfortable open-plan living space, both apartments offer two well-presented double bedrooms en suite, with the rear bedroom benefitting from access to the balcony area.

At the front of the house, the paved driveway provides parking space for several vehicles, as well as access to the integrated double garage, which provides further secure parking or home storage space. Additional parking is available on-street along Caernarfon Road.

The recreational outside space is mostly located at the rear, taking advantage of that waterside setting with views across the Mena Strait and beyond. There are private balconies for all four levels of the home, while the lower level apartment also benefits from a low-maintenance courtyard garden with direct access via a lane off Beach Road, providing further parking space if required.
