Garndolbenmaen, Gwynedd, LL51

This is not just about panoramic mountain views its about how it makes you feel...... living in a charming detached traditional stone Welsh long cottage in around an acre of peaceful countryside with incredible views over Eryri National Park. Located above the village of Garndolbenmaen in Gwynedd.

The welcoming entrance hall takes you to the living & dining space a true sanctuary - panoramic mountain views from the comfort of your armchair! Attractive original inglenook fireplace with a multi fuel stove provides a deep radiating heat that makes the house feel particularly magical during the winter months. Adjacent to this space is the practical fitted kitchen. There are 2 double bedrooms, a bathroom & a useful large utility room. Within the roof space & accessed by a wooden ladder staircase is a large attic area.

Dating back to around the 1840’s - the cottage keeps its soul with its beams, thick walls, inglenook fireplace - immense charm with all the benefits of sympathetic renovation over a period of time - most recent installation of solar panels & air source heat pump means the home is as efficient as it is charming.

Set within well tendered grounds of around an acre - entirely enclosed by traditional dry stone walls, established planting - 6 separate lawned areas to choose from, paved patio area, fruit trees, wood store, large detached garage, stone outbuilding (offering great potential) and a paddock. In the height of summer the sun tracks from the east across the front of the home & settling into dramatic sunsets over the western lawns. Mornings on the terrace with a coffee looking directly north towards the peak of Yr Wyddfa. Just breathtaking.
