Bala, Gwynedd

A charming small holding, nestled in a semi-rural location a short distance from the popular town of Bala. Set within just over 42 acres, with a further 45 acres available.


Ground floor
Tan Y Garth is a beautifully atmospheric and character rich residence, offering a warm and inviting internal arrangement that reflects its heritage and charm.

A doorway opens directly into the principal reception room which is centred around a Village woodburning stove, set on a raised hearth within a striking exposed stone fireplace, creating an immediately welcoming focal point.

From here, a doorway leads through to a traditional farmhouse kitchen and dining room, complemented by a useful adjoining storeroom.
Beyond the dining area, a further doorway opens into two additional reception rooms, each offering flexible living accommodation. One of these rooms is believed to conceal an original inglenook fireplace behind a later brick cavity wall, presenting an exciting opportunity to restore a notable period feature and further enhance the home’s character.

First floor
The staircase, rising from the dining room, leads to a split-level landing. To the left, there are two generously proportioned bedrooms, both enjoying pleasant outlooks. To the right, the principal bedroom benefits from a walkthrough dressing room, creating a private and well-appointed suite. All the bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, which is also located on the first floor.

Altogether, the farmhouse presents a rare opportunity to acquire a charming period home with scope to reveal and enhance original features, perfectly suited to those seeking character, space, and timeless rural appeal.

Externally, the property has two external rooms, one is a boiler room and the other a utility room.

Gardens and grounds
Tan Y Garth is approached along an adopted highway, before a gateway opens onto a private drive, eventually leading to a large parking yard, providing ample parking space for numerous vehicles directly in front of the property.
The property benefits from an exceptionally comprehensive range of traditional outbuildings, offering substantial versatility and scope for a variety of uses, subject to any necessary consents.

Adjoining the main house is a distinctive two storey ancillary structure, comprising two first-floor loft rooms, positioned above two substantial ground floor rooms currently arranged as a tractor store and original stables. This space offers a distinct possibility to add additional space to the main residence or as a stand-alone annex, subject to the necessary planning consents.

Further outbuildings include number of independent agricultural buildings, including an open fronted barn. A traditional former cow shed and a collection of traditional stone outbuildings offer additional equine or agricultural usage. Completing the range is an impressive Lshaped arrangement of agricultural barns.

The grounds of Tan Y Garth form a defining feature of the property, extending to just over 42 acres in total and offering outstanding opportunities for grazing, equestrian and small-scale agricultural use. In addition the paddocks have the benefits of natural water supply for livestock.
The majority of the land lies to the rear of the outbuildings and gently unfolds towards the far boundary, which adjoins the River Dee, creating both privacy and an attractive natural setting. The holding is thoughtfully divided into two principal areas, each complementing the other in both function and character.

The first area comprises a series of well-defined paddocks, predominantly level and laid to permanent pasture, making them ideally suited for livestock grazing or equestrian use. The paddocks are enclosed and divided by a combination of stockproof fencing, with each area accessed via agricultural gateways, allowing for practical stock management and flexible rotation.

The second area is formed by a varied tract of established woodland, featuring a mix of broadleaf and specimen trees. This area follows the course of the River Hirnant, which meanders through the land before joining the River Dee, providing a particularly tranquil and picturesque environment. The property benefits from fishing rights along both banks of the River Hirnant.

Overall, the land at Tan Y Garth offers a rare balance of productive pasture and natural woodland, perfectly suited to buyers seeking usable acreage combined with a peaceful and scenic rural setting.

In addition, there is an extra 45.60 acres of hillside land available (as shown in Green on the following plan), via separate negotiation. For more information, please contact the selling agents.
