Aberdovey, Gwynedd, LL35

Sympathetically renovated by the existing owner, Glygyrog Wen is a beautifully appointed Welsh long house. Renovations include a beautiful extension to the south/east elevation and complete internal remodelling with a keen eye for the preservation of a wealth of original features including exposed stone walls, beamed ceilings, fireplaces and stone floors.

The beautifully refitted Mark Wilkinson kitchen has a superb range of hand built solid wood units with a raised island and space for dining table. There is an Aga Range set within an original stone inglenook. The dining hall is found in the centre of the house, exhibiting exposed beams and a stone fireplace. Beyond this is the recent extension which gives a wonderful reception room with log burning stove and French doors making the upmost of the views towards the Estuary. There is planning permission granted for the construction of a garden room at this end of the property.

Bedroom accommodation
The primary staircase gives access to the first floor. Most notable is the master bedroom suite, with a beautiful Villeroy & Boch bathroom suite and triple aspect, giving views over the grounds and countryside beyond. There are two further bedrooms accessed via the staircase, served by the family bathroom. A secondary staircase rises to a fourth double bedroom, with a range of fitted wardrobes and en suite shower room. The property is well-appointed to be used as a family home.

Outbuildings
Adjacent to the house is a recently renovated two storey stone barn. The current owner uses this as a wonderful studio, but with its fitted kitchen and separate shower room, this beautiful light an airy space could serve as a fantastic holiday let or secondary accommodation. There is a mezzanine level that includes a bespoke bar and seating area, with French doors opening to the balcony, giving fantastic views. A boiler room and games room/office above complete the accommodation.

Gardens and grounds
The formal gardens surrounding the house and studio are beautiful, with a number of landscaped mature beds and carefully designed seating areas to take in the superb views. A fabulous mixed fruit orchard is placed on the grounds and beyond the garden is approximately 1.29 acres of grassland and 0.46 acres of woodland. There is a wonderful drive sweeping up to the property.

Aberdovey is situated within the Snowdonia National Park to the North of the Dyfi Estuary. The pretty village has a range of bespoke shops, galleries, pubs and restaurants. Historically a small fishing and trading village, the advent of the railway in the 19th Century saw Aberdovey become an exclusive Victorian holiday destination. Today it has retained its exclusivity and is noted for its golden beaches, exceptional views, famous 18 hole golf course, its colourful summer sailing regattas, water sports and its easy access to many outdoor activities in the Snowdonia National Park.

The town of Machynlleth is nearby and offers a further range of recreational and leisure facilities. Good road networks give access to Welshpool, Shrewsbury and beyond, along with a regular mainline rail service to Shrewsbury and Birmingham.
