Caer Hafoty, Trefor - 20ac

Located at the foot of the Eifl mountain range and offering panoramic views across Caernarfon Bay, the Eifl and Gyrn Ddu ranges, Caer Hafoty is a rare opportunity to acquire a smallholding of approximately 20 acres, including a stone cottage with planning consent as a holiday home.

Wedi’i leoli wrth droed yr Eifl, gyda golygfeydd panoramig dros Fae Caernarfon a mynyddoedd yr Eifl a Gyrn Ddu, mae Caer Hafoty yn gyfle unigryw i fod yn berchen ar dyddyn o tua 20 erw, gan gynnwys bwthyn gyda chaniatâd cynllunio i’w ddefnyddio fel t gwyliau.

Formerly a stone ruin, Caer Hafoty was developed by the current owners into the holiday home it is today after obtaining planning permission in 2000 for its development and extension. As a holiday home falling under Section 12 of the Local Government Finance Act 1992, the council tax premium on second homes does not apply. Prospective buyers must satisfy themselves as to this statement.

The location above Trefor offers a unique setting close to the beach and harbour below the property, with the mountains to the rear and the remains of the former quarry above the property. Access to the property is easier from the Llanaelhaearn direction via the public single-track road, with a track running from the road up to the house across the upper half of the 20 acres that make up Caer Hafoty. Access for large vehicles and machinery is limited, which enhances the privacy and tranquility of this otherwise exposed rural location.

The development undertaken was sympathetic to the original character of the area retraining the original stone elevations under a slate roof. Two detached stone outbuilding lie beneath the property, both restored and intact with a further pig sty ruin opposite the main house.

The grounds of the cottage include a lawned garden South of the cottage with a track leading between both outbuildings providing access to the upper parcels of land. The 20 acres of sloping pasture land extends beneath the property, divided to various paddocks and is mostly occupied for the grazing of livestock as a whole.

Internally the property comprises an open pan living, kitchen and dining area with feature stone inglenook. Above this a mezanine is located open to the room below, presently used as a bedroom.

Steps lead down to the central reception room, with a shower constructed off the rear with further steps leading to the end bedroom, presently used as a reception room making use of the picture window framing a spectacular outlook.

The land is predominantly grazing pasture, with areas of wetland and stone outcrops typical of this locality.

The accommodation comprises:

Kitchen, Dining and Living Space - 4.11m X 6.37m
Reception Room - 4.47m x 4.56m
Shower Room - 2.33m x 2.30m (Triangular)
Bedroom - 2.63m x 4.47m (Presently a Sitting Room)
Mezzanine - 3.07m x 4.02 (Open to Floor Below)

The house is of traditional construction under slate roof covering.

Proceed 1.7 miles along the narrow single-track road past a handful of houses; when the road reaches a sharp 90° right-hand bend, the entrance is the wooden gate directly in front.
