Description

Welcome to a truly unique opportunity nestled at the foot of Cader Idris in the breathtaking Snowdonia National Park. Set within just over 5 acres, this exceptional estate features a Grade II Listed main residence, four charming cottages, modern stabling with a menage, and several paddocks all offering 360-degree views of this stunning Welsh mountain range.

A standout feature of this superb property is its versatility for various uses. The current owners rent out two of the cottages as holiday lets, generating a healthy income, while the other two cottages are currently enjoyed by family members.

The private grounds, spanning over 5 acres, offer something for everyone. Equestrian enthusiasts or those wishing to keep animals will appreciate the modern stabling, menage, and multiple paddocks. A summerhouse provides a peaceful retreat with spectacular views, perfect for a unique office space or relaxation area. Various seating areas and lawns are scattered throughout the estate, and with no neighbors in sight, this property offers an idyllic, private mountain retreat.

Maes Yr Helmau

The Main Residence

The characterful Grade II Listed main house, rich in history, forms the end section of a traditional stone-built longhouse, dating back to the early 17th century. Brimming with original features, the highlight is the stunning stone fireplace, which magnificently encases a log burner, adding warmth and charm to the home. The farmhouse-style kitchen perfectly complements the character of the property. Upstairs, the first floor showcases original beams and includes two double bedrooms, one of which features an en-suite shower room, along with a family bathroom.

Stable Cottage

Adjoining the main house is the quaint Stable Cottage, which offers a cozy sitting room, kitchen, bathroom, and two bedrooms. With the convenience of an internal door, this cottage could easily be integrated into the main residence, transforming it into a more expansive four-bedroom home for those needing additional accommodation.

The Barn Cottage

The Barn Cottage, currently used as a holiday rental, can accommodate 8 to 9 guests across its four bedrooms. Outside, the fenced garden area features a hot tub and a games room, making it a popular choice for larger groups seeking a relaxing and entertaining getaway.

The Old Wash Cottage

The Old Wash House Cottage is a detached stone-built home located opposite the main residence. Currently serving as another holiday cottage, it features three bedrooms sleeping up to 6 and includes a private garden, providing guests with a peaceful retreat.

The Pig Sty

The Pigsty, located near the menage, is a more recent addition to the complex, offering an open-plan kitchen and living space, a double bedroom, and a bathroom. Additionally, with outline planning permission already in place, the attic—already boarded and plastered—can be converted into two additional bedrooms, further enhancing the property's value and versatility.

Outside

Externally, the property is accessed via a private driveway flanked by your own paddocks on either side. This versatile estate spans just over 5 acres, making it ideal for those interested in keeping animals or horses. The property features modern stabling, a menage, and several fenced fields. Additionally, a large area of hardstanding outside the stables provides further potential for additional outbuildings if needed.

This space is perfect for working from home or enjoying a peaceful sunset with a glass of wine, seamlessly blending functionality with relaxation in a stunning natural setting.
