Property code: OC-WAH675
This is a detached, 1930s-built family home in an elevated position offering wonderful views over the Mawddach Estuary and packed with quirky, original features and charming places to relax as a family or group, both inside and out. Located in Arthog in Southern Snowdonia, there’s plenty of walking to do in the area including at nearby beaches like Fairbourne (2 miles), a lovely seaside village where you can try water sports like surfing and windsurfing - or simply relax in the sunshine and let the kids build sandcastles. In Arthog village, you can enjoy outdoor pursuits such as pony trekking or fishing. Go further afield for mountain biking at Coed y Brenin forest (12 miles) which has excellent scenic trails through the hills and forests.
As soon as you enter this family home, into the entrance hall with its wide staircase and parquet flooring, you’ll notice its charm. Pass through to the sitting room where you can all spread out across the three sofas to watch the TV or gaze through the bay window, with the open fire flickering to make things extra relaxing. Enjoy group dinners in the traditional dining room that’s charming with an antique, eight-seater dining table. The bay window means you have lots of light and lovely views. Another great place to eat together is the breakfast room, again with an eight-seater dining table. It’s a delightful space thanks to the quarry tiled floors and the armchairs beside a cosy Rayburn that’s a lovely feature in the room. The ground-floor kitchen boasts a large range cooker and there’s a pantry adjacent with further facilities and handy storage space. The ground floor is made even more social thanks to the playroom with highlights like a table football, toys and games: kids will love it and the grown-ups might too. Access the garage from the driveway or kitchen for more rounds of fun on the small pool table. The garage also features handy facilities like a washing machine, storage space for bikes or walking gear, and a hosepipe that’s useful after muddy walks. Head upstairs to find the main bathroom with a shower over the bath and the cloakroom that houses a handy extra WC. All the bedrooms are on the first floor including two doubles: one features an en-suite shower room and the other has tranquil views through bay windows which you can admire from the two tub chairs. There are also two twin bedrooms, one with a lovely view and an en-suite shower room; and two singles, one boasting a small balcony with yet more delightful views.
Continue your group relaxation outside in the private, mature hillside gardens that surround the property, with garden furniture like a picnic bench and a brick-built BBQ for ultimate al fresco dining - not forgetting those unrivalled countryside and estuary views.
