Description
The accommodation is generously proportioned throughout, providing eight bedrooms in total, four of which benefit from en-suite facilities. Rich in period character, the home retains an abundance of original period features, including high ceilings, a striking stained-glass roof lantern above the landing, and attractive Victorian tiled flooring. During the current ownership, the property has been sympathetically restored and carefully maintained, creating a comfortable and elegant family home. Further benefits include gas-fired central heating, a wood-burning stove in the principal sitting room, and beautiful pitch pine joinery found throughout the property, which is a notable feature.
The adjoining accommodation is connected to the main house and can easily be incorporated into the principal residence if desired. Alternatively, it offers excellent potential as a self-contained dwelling, ideal for holiday letting, as previously operated, guest accommodation, or multi-generational living, allowing two households to enjoy independent accommodation while remaining in close proximity.
Externally, the property is approached via a driveway providing ample off-road parking. The gardens extend around the house and include expansive lawns that lead down to a delightful glade, from where views of the estuary and Barmouth bridge can be enjoyed.
To the rear of the property is a self-contained studio flat, complete with shower room facilities, offering additional flexibility for guests, rental income, or homeworking purposes.
The accommodation is arranged over several floors and briefly comprises an entrance vestibule, welcoming reception hall, kitchen/dining room, sitting room, library, a range of utility and storage rooms, cellar, and a boiler room with wood store.
To the first floor, a spacious landing provides access to five bedrooms, four of which benefit from en-suite facilities.
The adjoining accommodation is equally versatile and comprises an entrance hall, kitchen/dining room, and a sitting room/games room. The first floor offers a bedroom and family bathroom, while the second floor provides two further bedrooms.
Properties such as Farchynys Hall rarely come to the market, presenting a unique opportunity to acquire a home rich in history, exceptional character, and an abundance of striking original features. Beautifully positioned in a stunning setting and viewing of this distinguished home is highly recommended to fully appreciate its charm, character, and everything it has to offer.
Location
Bontddu is a village situated halfway between the market town of Dolgellau (approx. 5 miles) and the seaside resort of Barmouth.
The ancient market town of Dolgellau sits within an area of outstanding natural beauty set in the Southern Snowdonia National Park, at the foot of the Cader Idris mountain range. Dolgellau is an excellent base for walkers and outdoor pursuits. The town provides a small cottage hospital, primary & secondary schools, a tertiary college as well as restaurants, pubs, library, rugby & cricket clubs.
The picturesque seaside town of Barmouth is located on the west coast of North Wales and lying between a mountain range and the sea on the mouth of the river Mawddach, is arguably one of the most beautiful locations in Wales. The town itself offers an array of restaurants, pubs, cafes and local independent shops. The surrounding countryside provides superb opportunities for outdoor/water activities. The town also provides a railway station which is on the main line, providing links to Pwllheli in the North, with the line providing access to Machynlleth, Mid Wales and Shropshire, along to Birmingham.
