Llandyfrydog, Llanerchymedd, Isle Of Anglesey, LL71

Commanding a splendid easterly aspect overlooking miles of open countryside towards the outline of Mynydd Bodafon on the far side of the valley (a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), including the mountains Of Eryri (Snowdonia) on the mainland, Bryn Eglwys presents itself as a splendid haven in a most pleasant location within the rural community of Llandyfrydog, an area noted for its historical church and former school on which the property borders. A handsome dwelling, Bryn Eglwys stands within some 6.2 Acres of land. Being a farmhouse dwelling, Bryn Eglwys comes with a separate Cottage (holiday let) and an extensive array of traditional Outbuildings/Stables, Garage and Menage, plus excellent vehicular access. There is an option to purchase two outbuildings, one of which has planning permission to be converted into separate habitable residential dwellings (Planning No. 44C19D) along with additional land, available by separate negotiation. A separate, more recent drive complete with cattle-grid with its entrance towards the eastern boundary has been created, being part of the ongoing planning permission stipulations. The main dwelling of Bryn Eglwys dates from 1891 and is an excellent example of a late Victorian farmhouse with generous rooms throughout together with high ceilings, sash windows, open fireplaces and charm and character in abundance. The retention of original features is complemented by modern improvements considered essential today, such as kitchen appointments and bathroom facilities while not detracting from its heritage. There are two formal reception rooms, the dining room and the sitting room enjoying a pleasing dual aspect, whilst the kitchen comes in two halves so-to-speak, with traditional fitments rubbing alongside more modern appointments complete with oil fired Rayburn range (provides hot water) and modern double oven and hob. Completing the ground floor is a south facing Orangery (complete with peach tree/specimen!) an essential boot room and modern shower room. There are four bedrooms located on the first floor complemented by en-suite facilities to the main bedroom plus two highly individual bathrooms, both of which have their own unique appeal. The cottage located adjacent appears to be from a much earlier period and enjoys a distinct charm all of its own. This too has been sympathetically modernised where required whilst not detracting from its past, so you can enjoy the best of both worlds. Here you’ll find a most impressive inglenook (with wood burner), beamed ceilings and deep window sills whilst the larger bedroom on the first floor presents itself with a vaulted ceiling complete with exposed ‘A’ frame – very eye-catching for sure. Bryn Eglwys is approached along a long private driveway, culminating in a wide and spacious yard from where all ancillary outbuildings and barns can be easily accessed. The majority of the outbuildings (much of which are attached to the cottage) are built of traditional stone materials and have vaulted ceilings with exposed beam work, offering much potential should they be considered for conversion by any prospective purchaser. These outbuildings consist of an artist’s studio (heated plus power/light), four equestrian stables and tack room. Bryn Eglwys and the cottage both enjoy private mature gardens and ample parking whilst garages add a level of practicality for general storage purposes and suchlike. This is a beautiful rural location with appealing, versatile accommodation with enough land to satisfy anyone’s equestrian/livestock requirements. The countryside communities of Llandyfrydog and Parc are located centrally between the towns/villages of Amlwch, Llanerchymedd and Benllech, positioned towards the north eastern corner of Anglesey. The fabulous coastline situated nearby offers such gems as Lligwy beach and the Dulas estuary (with its own shipwreck to explore – mind the tide though)! Just a short distance to the west lies Llyn Alaw, an award winning conservation site which is an ideal leisure venue – great for picnics, fishing, walking and bird watching. It is also the starting point for one of the four main cycle trails on Anglesey, a pleasant way to explore the rugged coastline and beaches which extend for over 120 miles! Llangefni, in the centre of the island is an administrative market town with many shops, supermarkets and other facilities readily available. Both primary and secondary schools can also be found in the town, alongside further education facilities. The historic town of Amlwch to the north has a fascinating history associated with the discovery of copper on Parys Mountain. Anglesey is a unique island, separated from the mainland of North Wales by the famous Menai Strait and accessed via two different, yet equally fascinating bridges. London can be easily reached from Bangor in roughly 3½ hours by train, whilst the A55 Expressway provides a fast link to North Wales' coastal towns, Chester and the motorway network. Bangor also boasts a major university, excellent shopping and a wide choice of schools. From Holyhead, a trip across the Irish Sea via the Seacat takes less than an hour, straight into the heart of Dublin.
