Description
Maes y Coed is set on a south facing wooded hillside at the head of the Vale of Ffestiniog, a few kilometres south of Blaenau Ffestioniog with superb views of the Manod Hills to the east, the Moelwynion Mountains to the northwest and the Rhinog Mountains to the southwest.
In addition to its superb location this property has character in abundance - a charming ‘cottage in the woods’ feel, with terraced gardens blending seamlessly into the ancient Welsh Oak woodland PLUS it offers huge opportunity & potential as it benefits from Full Planning Permission for further extension and refurbishment.
Currently the bungalow offers two spacious living/dining rooms, four bedrooms, (one with ensuite bathroom) and a family shower room. Adjacent to the bungalow is parking for 2 cars including a large carport with easy access log storage. A few steps back down the hill is parking for more vehicles & a large modern commercial style workshop/garage (approx. 50’ x 25’) which is actually of fully insulated steel framed construction with power & water. There is a large roller shutter door to the front as well as rear doors to a large concreted area with a modern double carport that is currently used as grand log-store and open/covered workspace. This versatile storage and workspace offers lots of opportunity for many different hobbies or applications, especially when teamed with the open paddock spaces next to the tarmac driveway and the numerous clearings/parking areas on this fascinatingly terraced/landscaped plot.
This rare combination of Location, Character and Potential offers purchasers a chance to create a unique country living space for occupation or rental (stpp).The glorious setting presents myriad opportunities to walk directly from the plot onto local and national footpaths (the Snowdonia Slate Trail crosses the road next to the property) and to access the numerous gorgeous walks, waterfalls and woodlands from their doorstep.
