Penrhyndeudraeth, Gwynedd, LL48

Ty’n Y Berlllan resides in a remarkable location, capitalising on its fine southerly aspect, providing scenic views of the surrounding countryside towards the hills on the far side of the Vale of Ffestiniog. It’s a superb retreat make no mistake! Adding to the general ambiance is the oft heard sounds of the Ffestiniog Heritage railway passing through woodland to the south on its passage between Porthmadog and Blaenau Ffestiniog – an evocative sound for sure. The property stands on a generous plot of landscaped and manicured gardens with a steeper section of deciduous woodland to the rear bordering a Site of Special Scientific Interest, (undoubtedly a haven for natural wildlife). The position is all the more remarkable in that you are less than a mile distant from the centre of Penrhyndeudraeth as well as the A487 trunk road for easy connections to Porthmadog and the superb west coast and Llyn Peninsula. Ty’n Y Berllan is about to begin a new chapter in that it has been in the same family for the past 57 years. During that time, the property was extensively enlarged during the 1970s, thereby expanding the accommodation to 3 bedrooms plus an additional reception room, generous kitchen and bathroom. The interior offers much charm and character yet is sympathetically modernised. The main living room invites you to gather round the fireplace with its multi-fuel stove providing the focal point, there’s a dedicated dining room and a good size kitchen with range oven. Also on the ground floor is a useful boot room and utility/WC, both with quarry tiled floors, the utility having a Belfast sink and plumbing for washing machine. 3 bedrooms reside on the first floor (2 of which are well-proportioned) served by a family bathroom. The main bedroom has a useful annex, affectionally known as the ‘cubby hole’, which could be used as a home office, or storage. Noteworthy is the rooftop 4KW solar panel array which has a generous feed-in tariff. The contract runs to 2036 and the expected income to the new owners will certainly be a factor when parties are assessing the property – the owners can provide additional information. Externally, the lawned gardens play host to a number of decorative plants, shrubs and apple, plum and damson trees, and impressive varieties of rhododendron and magnolia. There’s a spacious slate flagged patio (great views) and various seating areas to the rear which includes a wooded section. Parking is catered for with a spacious private parking area. The property comes fitted with uPVC double glazing throughout (with the exception of the window in the utility) and oil fired central heating. The centre of nearby Penrhyndeudraeth is just under 1 mile distant, being located adjacent to the beautiful Dwyryd Estuary and right on the doorstep of the Vale of Ffestiniog. It is a dramatic setting surrounded by the impressive mountains of the Eryri National Park (Snowdonia). The village offers a number of useful daily amenities and there’s a mainline railway station providing links to Pwllheli and the Cambrian coast to Barmouth and beyond. Penrhyndeudraeth is also a neighbour to the celebrated Italianate village of Portmeirion, built by Clough Williams-Ellis. The town of Porthmadog lies 3 miles further offering major supermarkets and many independent shops, goods and services.
