Machynlleth, Gwynedd, SY20

A rare and interesting opportunity to acquire one of the iconic properties in the Dyfi Valley, with established gardens and additional woodland, equating to approximately 2 acres.

The current owners have done a complete renovation of the property including rewired electrics, renewed plumbing, total re-roofing, new guttering, new render, new doors, double glazed windows, new ceilings, replastering, improved insulation and a 2 storey extension. They have also made extensive improvements to the landscaped gardens, including a large flat lawn, lower level balcony and a new large upper patio and decking.

The property, presented in immaculate condition, offers adaptable accommodation over 2 floors with high quality fixture and fittings throughout, perfectly blending modern luxury with original features and character, boasting 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, alongside a premium French Oak kitchen and purposely designed sound-proofed music room with ensuite.

Hafodty, originally built in 1934, occupies an elevated position within the Dyfi Valley enjoying panoramic views from both the house and gardens, taking full advantage of the stunning scenery of the surrounding area, whilst remaining almost immediately accessible to the historic town of Machynlleth and all the transport and shopping amenities it has to offer. The property is also conveniently located on the outskirts of Pennal village, where there is a community owned Pub/Restaurant.

A truly mesmerising property offering scenery, nature, character and luxury - Hafodty offers the best of both worlds and must be seen to be fully appreciated.
