A charming property with outstanding views over the Vale of Clwyd

Description

Fellside occupies an exceptional elevated position on the fringes of Llanbedr Dyffryn Clwyd, commanding far-reaching views across the Vale of Clwyd and surrounding countryside, with a setting that fully embraces its landscape.

Set within grounds of just over an acre, this substantial country residence extends to more than 3,000 sq ft and offers a compelling blend of period character and versatile accommodation. Dating from the mid-19th century, with later additions, the house has evolved to provide a well-balanced family home, defined by its generous proportions and connection to its setting.

The approach leads into a welcoming entrance hall, from which the principal reception rooms radiate, each enjoying an outlook across the gardens and beyond. The main reception room is centred around a feature fireplace and enhanced by a box bay window, while the formal dining room continues the theme of symmetry and light, similarly benefiting from a bay aspect. A further sitting/dining room provides a more relaxed living space, complete with a wood-burning stove and leads to the heart of the home, the kitchen and breakfast room.

The bespoke Tegla kitchen is thoughtfully arranged with timber cabinetry and granite worktops and is complemented by a traditional range. French doors open directly onto the garden, allowing the house to flow seamlessly into its outdoor setting. The kitchen is further enhanced by a pantry and useful utility. Two useful store rooms and WC complete the ground floor.

The first floor is accessed via a pitch pine staircase and arranged over two levels, Three double bedrooms are located off the bright landing, two having fitted wardrobes and are serviced by a family shower room. Steps lead to two further bedrooms, the guest suite and the well-proportioned principal bedroom which benefits from built-in wardrobes, en suite bathroom and a bay box window which provides views across open countryside. These rooms both enjoy access to a covered balcony, providing an elevated vantage point from which to take in the surrounding landscape. A further family bathroom is also on this level.

Outside, the gardens and grounds provide a series of thoughtfully arranged spaces, combining areas for relaxation with opportunities for productive gardening. Seating terraces are positioned to take advantage of the views, while a Hartley Botanical greenhouse and terraced beds offer scope for cultivation. The grounds create a sense of privacy and seclusion, complemented by a private driveway and double garage providing ample parking.

In addition to the main house, a detached log cabin, with deck and bike store offers further flexibility, suitable for ancillary accommodation, home working or leisure use (subject to any necessary consents).
