3 bed detached house for sale

Loreley, Talybont SY24

There are properties that offer a view. And there are those where the view becomes part of daily life.

Loreley is firmly the latter.

Occupying a privileged elevated position, this beautifully arranged home commands far-reaching vistas across the Dyfi Estuary, Aberdyfi and the wider West Wales coastline. From the shifting light over open water to the ever-changing skies above the Cambrian Mountains, the outlook is nothing short of captivating.

The house has been thoughtfully adapted and extended over time, culminating in a remarkable contemporary sea room that transforms the way the property interacts with its surroundings. Here, architecture and landscape meet - creating a space that is as striking as it is relaxing.

Yet Loreley is not solely about lifestyle. It is also a home grounded in practicality - offering generous parking, flexible living spaces, and clear scope for further enhancement.

This is a home that evolves with its owners.

The property is approached via a private driveway rising gently alongside the home, immediately establishing a sense of arrival and privacy.

The driveway provides extensive off-road parking for approximately five vehicles, leading to a double garage positioned at lower ground level.

The elevated position is fundamental to Lorely's appeal. It not only enhances the views but also ensures a natural sense of separation from neighbouring properties, creating a setting that feels both open and private.

Entry is via a welcoming entrance porch, leading into an inner lobby with tiled flooring, which connects seamlessly to the utility and service areas.

Side Lobby/Utility (2.36m x 1.91m)

Cloakroom (1.88m x 1.02m)

A cloakroom is conveniently positioned off this area, fitted with a low-level WC and vanity wash hand basin. This section of the home is highly functional - designed for everyday living without interrupting the flow of the main accommodation.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room (4.83m x 6.33m)

The L-shaped kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home, offering both practicality and comfort. Fitted with a comprehensive range of cabinetry, it includes a double built-in oven; four-ring AEG induction hob; single drainer, double bowl sink with mixer tap and space for a fridge freezer.
Two large double-glazed windows ensure excellent natural light, while inset spot lighting enhances usability throughout the day. The adjoining breakfast area provides an informal dining space, with tiled flooring continuing throughout and a pleasant outlook over the gardens.

Conservatory (3.05m x 2.52m)

Positioned to the rear, the conservatory is a beautifully light-filled, dual-aspect room with exceptional views across the estuary. With tiled flooring, double doors to the garden and an additional Velux window, it offers a relaxed transitional space between the house and the outdoors.

Dining Room/Study (3.33m x 2.74m)

The dining room is both characterful and adaptable, featuring an attractive wood and glazed partition with an internal window overlooking the conservatory.

The sitting room is a well-proportioned dual-aspect space, benefiting from far-reaching coastal views.

The Great Sea Room (6.10m x 4.88m)

This is, without question, the centrepiece of Loreley.
A striking architectural addition, the Great Sea Room features a vaulted ceiling and extensive glazing designed to maximise light and outlook. Key elements include: Four large Velux roof windows; full-height glazing; sliding patio doors and direct access to a substantial decked terrace.

From here, the views extend uninterrupted across the Dyfi Estuary, Aberdyfi and the surrounding countryside - offering a perspective that is rarely available. This is a space designed for entertaining, relaxation, and everyday living elevated by landscape.
