Beach Road, Harlech, LL46

Rarely does such a splendidly designed house full of style, sophistication and quality in an enviable location come on the market. Situated on Beach Road, watched over by Harlech Castle and with the Royal St Davids Golf Course and the Morfa Sand Dunes between Isgaer and the beach, Isgaer really is a dream property. The property is a feat of architectural splendour, originally built as a beautiful example of 1930's style, the footprint has been doubled by the addition of a modern, classic and contemporary two storey extension predominately using green oak and glass. The back to brick redevelopment of the original property retains the original 1930's front facade while the rear is dominated by the incredible oak frame extension with oak and glass gable end and floor to ceiling glass panels.
