Description
Surrounded by open countryside whilst offering exceptional views towards the Eryri mountains and sea in the distance is this much enlarged yet characterful Semi Detached Welsh Cottage situated in the elevated rural community of Mynydd Llandygai – on any clear day, there's nothing quite like it! Situated on the outskirts of Bethesda, comprehensive amenities are not too far away whilst the university city of Bangor and A55 are also within convenient traveling distance. This former quarryman’s cottage comes with a complimentary 1.09 Acre of land (something enjoyed by a large proportion of the cottages in the locality), thereby providing extensive gardens, ample off road parking and so much more besides. The land extends for some distance to the rear, ultimately backing onto open moorland with direct access to the mountainside and nearby public footpath. If you’ve been on the lookout for a home which could provide a different pace of life with opportunities to enjoy wide open spaces, perhaps somewhere to rear chickens or a pony or two, this could well be a candidate. The property was much enlarged in the early 1990s but retains much originality and character, especially so to the older parts, in particular the living room with its high ceiling and inglenook fireplace, housing a multi-fuel stove. The family room is also most welcome, a spacious, light and bright room enjoying a dual aspect with patio doors and a further multi-fuel stove – a great room for entertaining for sure! There’s the practicality of a utility room and additional WC. There are 5 bedrooms in total (1 currently utilised as an authentic bar room), 3 to the ground floor and 2 separate bedrooms on the first floor. The property has obviously been loved and well-cared for by the present owners for many years but would profit from a degree of further modernising. Benefiting from uPVC double glazing (with the exception of the front door) and oil fired central heating, the accommodation briefly affords: Entrance Hall, Living Room, Dining/Family Room, Utility Room, WC, 5 Bedrooms and Bathroom.
The property is positioned in an elevated position on the outskirts of the quarry town of Bethesda, lying close to the Nant Francon Valley on the edge of the Eryri National Park. Mynydd Llandegai is a popular rural community offering some impressive mountain views. Bethesda offers a good range of amenities, goods and services alongside primary and secondary schools, an extensive health centre, numerous leisure facilities as well as cafés, eateries and pubs. Bethesda also offers the hugely exciting Zip Wire ride attraction, the longest in Europe, situated within the adjoining Penrhyn Slate quarry. The university city of Bangor (roughly 6 miles distant), has a wide range of shops and out-of-town retailers as well as recreational facilities, mainline train services, schools, colleges, a district general hospital and arts and cultural centre.
