Description

Enjoy the delights of the countryside in what is a stunning rural setting location on the edge of the village of Waunfawr. Certainly a unique opportunity to acquire a Detached Period Residence standing in some 4.5 Acres of land whilst enjoying panoramic views – simply stunning!

Having been in the possession of the same family for some 70 years, this must surely be a one-off if not unique opportunity to enjoy rural living at its very best, being positioned in a most remarkably scenic rural location on the edge of the village of Waunfawr. Residing within some 4.5 Acres of land, Ty Uchaf is a stone built and hugely characterful Detached Residence standing some 800 feet above sea level on the lower slopes of Moel Smytho, enjoying a splendid open westerly aspect with dramatic panoramic views towards the isle of Anglesey, the sea and the nearby Eryri/Snowdonia mountains – the position and location has to been seen to be fully appreciated. Many improvements were carried out to the property in the late 1990s including the addition of 2 dormer windows, re-roofing and making the loft room into a useable space. The property is approached along a grassed accessway leading to a level parking area and garden. The land, which comprises several paddocks/enclosures with dry stone wall boundaries essentially wraps around the property and includes a further paddock located across the road to the west. Attached to the property is a spacious and most useful outbuilding/barn whilst located directly to the rear of the dwelling is the remains of an old former stone barn. Ty Uchaf offers charm and character by the bucket load with thick walls, beamed ceilings and an impressive inglenook fireplace – currently housing a wood burning stove (stove currently not in use). The sitting room provides all the period authenticity whilst the living/dining room is a larger and brighter room adjacent to the kitchen and comes fitted with a multi-fuel stove (Currently not in use). Also on the ground floor is a bedroom plus bathroom and separate WC. An 2 bedrooms reside on the first floor together with limited access to a most useful loft room. The property comes fitted with uPVC double glazing with the exception of the front and rear doors. * Ty Uchaf will require some remedial work for damp and some modernising of certain appointments. *

The property is located approximately 1.3 miles from the village of Waunfawr with the A4085 connecting the historic coastal town of Caernarfon to the renowned village of Beddgelert passing by Yr Wyddfa/Snowdon. Waunfawr has a number of local amenities and a primary school with Caernarfon located roughly 5 miles distant. The popular Welsh Highland Railway runs all the way from Caernarfon to Porthmadog passing nearby where you will find a station pick-up point (seasonal). This is a rural community amidst some stunning countryside.
