2 bed detached bungalow for sale

Caernarfon, Caernarfon LL54

Ffynnon Wen is a beautifully presented detached stone cottage in a picturesque riverside setting, offering an appealing combination of traditional Welsh character and comprehensive modernisation. Approximately half a mile from the North Wales coastline, the cottage extends to around 602 sq. Ft. (55.9 sq. M.) and has been extensively renovated to create a stylish, comfortable home ready for immediate occupation.

The improvements have been wide-ranging and include extensive insulation, replacement plumbing and electrics, new flooring, internal oak doors, uPVC double glazing and complete redecoration, together with an air source heat pump and underfloor heating. Outside, established gardens wrap around the property, with mature trees and planting, stone walls and paved areas creating a particularly attractive setting beside the river, while off-road parking for two vehicles is also provided.

At the heart of the cottage is the impressive open-plan living room/kitchen, approximately 7.72m x 2.31m, extending across the full width of the property and providing distinct areas for cooking, dining and relaxing. The living area enjoys excellent natural light from windows on more than one elevation, while the kitchen is further enhanced by a rooflight and recessed ceiling lighting. An attractive Shaker-style kitchen is complemented by solid oak worktops, a Belfast sink and tiled splashbacks, with appliances including an oven, hob, extractor, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. Stone-effect tiled flooring flows through the space, with plenty of room for a substantial dining table and chairs as well as a comfortable lounge area. A door provides direct access outside, further connecting the main living space with the cottage's garden setting.

The accommodation includes two bedrooms, each with its own individual character. Bedroom One measures approximately 2.91m x 3.45m and is a generous double room with space for freestanding bedroom furniture. It benefits from a private en-suite measuring approximately 2.40m x 1.52m at maximum, finished in dramatic marble-effect tiling and fitted with a glazed shower enclosure, contemporary vanity unit with countertop basin, illuminated circular mirror and WC. Bedroom Two measures approximately 2.80m x 2.97m at maximum and incorporates one of the cottage's most attractive original features – a section of the former inglenook fireplace with exposed stonework and a substantial timber lintel, adding warmth and individuality to the otherwise freshly finished interior.

The main bathroom has been designed as a feature in its own right, blending the cottage's original fabric with more luxurious contemporary fittings. Exposed natural stonework is set against rich dark walls and contrasting marble-effect flooring, while a specially commissioned high-backed metal bath with overhead shower creates a striking centrepiece. A period-style timber vanity unit with vessel basin, ornate mirror, WC and decorative wall lighting complete this distinctive room. The central entrance hall provides access to the principal rooms and incorporates useful built-in storage, resulting in a practical layout entirely arranged over the ground floor.

The gardens are designed to be relatively easy to maintain, with a mixture of stone paving, gravelled areas, established shrubs, mature trees and traditional stone boundaries, and include an appealing area overlooking the adjoining river. Beyond the garden, the surrounding greenery and open countryside reinforce the cottage's peaceful rural character. Pontllyfni is a small coastal hamlet conveniently situated between Caernarfon and Pwllheli, with the coastline and beach approximately half a mile away; Penygroes is around 3 miles away for everyday amenities and Caernarfon approximately 8 miles distant.

The seller advises that the property has mains water, electricity and drainage, with broadband/fibre indicated as available by Ofcom. The property is understood to be Freehold with vacant possession on completion and is within Council Tax Band C.
