Description

** A beautifully presented and definitely charming Detached Cottage offering much character, having been enlarged and fully modernised with recent improvements to include a fabulous new bathroom and a raised timber decked patio, commanding spectacular far reaching countryside views. The cottage has recently been decorated from top to toe and it really shows! The sense of light and space is definitely enhanced, presenting itself very handsomely, yet it's still got that cosy cottage feel about it. If you're after a secluded retreat which is easily accessible yet right on the doorstep of the Snowdonia mountains, then you won't go too far wrong here. The accommodation is much roomier than external appearances might suggest too, so viewing is highly recommended. The timber/tiled fireplace adds a fitting focal point to the lounge whilst the kitchen is fitted with modern units (includes a 'Neff' hob and oven). The 2 first floor bedrooms are of a good size with exposed timber purlins to the ceiling and plenty of storage space being offered to the eaves. Outside space is minimal yet well thought out and there is the advantage of off road parking. Benefiting from oil central heating and being fully uPVC double glazed, the accommodation briefly comprises: Entrance Hall, Bathroom, Kitchen, Lounge, Dining Room/Study and 3 Bedrooms.  

LOCATION Gallt y Foel lies on the south western edge of the village of Deiniolen and commands some stunning views over the village, nearby countryside and hills as far as Anglesey, Holyhead Mountain and the Irish Sea. The property is situated within easy reach of the local amenities, which include a village store, primary school, library and public house. Regular bus services are available to both Caernarfon and Bangor town centres. Within a couple of miles there is also the advantage of a petrol filling station/store situated on the main A4244. Access to the renowned Royal town of Caernarfon as well as Bangor, with its colleges and university are made easy with the excellent road networks in the vicinity. The A55 expressway along the north Wales coast allows for easy commuting to the various towns and attractions. Gallt Y Foel is situated close to the mountainous region of Snowdonia which makes it perfect for walkers and climbers with stunning scenery all encompassing.
