7 bed detached house for sale

Penrhyndeudraeth, Penrhyndeudraeth LL48

Superb seven bedroom semi-detached detached house set in approximately one acre of private grounds. This historic family house is believed to date back to the early 1600's, and boasts an abundance of character and period features throughout, exuding a wealth of charm. Set back from the main road in the heart of a highly sought-after village, this impressive and substantial residence enjoys a peaceful setting whilst remaining conveniently close to the iconic Portmeirion Village and the renowned Ffestiniog Railway. Rich in character and versatility, the property presents an exceptional opportunity as a distinguished family home, whilst also lending itself perfectly to holiday accommodation or a boutique bed and breakfast venture. The layout further offers the flexibility to create independent living arrangements for extended family members if required.

Stepping through the original pitch pine entrance door, the welcoming reception hall sets the tone for the property with attractive wooden panelling, a charming Dutch working fireplace, useful storage cupboards, and a staircase rising gracefully to the first floor. From here, doors lead to the principal reception rooms and inner hallway beyond.

The magnificent drawing room is both elegant and inviting, featuring a striking slate and marble fireplace with open fire, beautiful wooden flooring, and French doors complete with Georgian-style shutters that open onto lovely garden views. The formal dining room retains immense period charm, centred around a handcrafted Celtic wooden fireplace, with a built-in display cupboard, serving hatch to the kitchen, and further French doors leading outside.

Adding to the versatility of the ground floor is a cosy snug/sitting room with original features, fitted storage cupboards, and a feature fireplace, all complemented by large windows overlooking the gardens. The rustic country-style kitchen/breakfast room offers tremendous potential, fitted with a gas hob, electric oven, and a cream oil-fired Aga, while enjoying windows to both the side and rear elevations. The former coach house has been thoughtfully adapted into a practical utility room with plumbing and drainage, whilst the rear lobby provides access to a traditional butler’s pantry with ample shelving and storage, alongside a beautifully finished ground floor cloakroom designed in keeping with the character of the home.

To the first floor, a spacious landing leads to seven well-proportioned bedrooms and multiple bathrooms. The principal suite is particularly impressive, enjoying far-reaching views across the gardens and beyond, together with a feature slate fireplace, walk-in wardrobe, luxurious en-suite bathroom, and a private sauna and shower room. A connecting study or nursery adjoins bedroom two, creating an ideal arrangement for families with younger children. Bedroom two itself is another generous double room with a slate fireplace and large built-in storage cupboard.

The remaining bedrooms continue the theme of spacious and versatile accommodation. Bedroom three enjoys views across the front grounds, whilst bedroom four, currently utilised as a gym, has been newly decorated with cushioned flooring and ceiling spotlights. Bedrooms five, six, and seven each benefit from their own en-suite shower facilities, making the property exceptionally well suited for guest accommodation or multi-generational living. The family bathroom is beautifully appointed with a Victorian roll-top bath, painted wooden flooring, WC, and wash hand basin, whilst an additional bathroom provides further convenience.

Externally, the property is equally impressive. Accessed via a sweeping tree-lined driveway, the home immediately impresses with its handsome appearance and mature grounds. The grounds are enclosed by attractive stone walling and feature extensive lawned gardens with an abundance of mature trees and shrubs creating a private and picturesque setting. A covered seating area provides an ideal space for sheltered alfresco dining, complemented by a large greenhouse, various storage sheds, and gated rear access. There is ample parking together with both single and double garages, the latter formerly serving as stables and now benefiting from electricity and excellent storage facilities.

Offering an abundance of charm, character, and flexibility in a truly desirable village location, this remarkable home also presents exciting potential for further development, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
