Description
Talywaen is an impressive detached residence of traditional stone construction beneath a slate roof, situated in a peaceful semi-rural location approximately two miles from the picturesque market town of Dolgellau. Nestled within its own private grounds of mature gardens and woodland, the property offers exceptional privacy and a haven for wildlife.
The main residence is complemented by two self-contained two-bedroom annexes, each with their own gardens and set a short distance from the principal house. In total, the property extends to approximately 2.92 acres, including a separate 1-acre paddock located in front of the annexes.
All three properties enjoy panoramic views of open countryside and surrounding mountains, and benefit from UPVC double glazing and oil-fired central heating. A private water supply and septic tank drainage serve the properties.
Upon entering the main house, you are welcomed into a spacious kitchen/breakfast room featuring a striking inglenook fireplace that spans three-quarters of the gable wall, now integrated with base units and an Esse range stove. The vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and A-frames, along with Velux roof windows, flood the space with natural light.
Steps from the kitchen lead down to a generous utility room and downstairs shower room, with further access to a dining room. The sitting room boasts French doors opening to the garden, an exposed stone fireplace with a multi-fuel stove, and exposed beams, creating a warm and inviting space.
The ground floor also includes a snug/library and a study area within the entrance porch. Upstairs, the accommodation comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms, a modern shower room, and a separate WC.
The grounds surrounding the main house are predominantly laid to lawn and enriched by a variety of mature trees and shrubs offering year-round colour. The property also benefits from woodland areas, wood stores, and a private driveway with ample off-road parking.
Annexe 1 and Annexe 2 each offer:
Open-plan kitchen/living/dining areas
Two bedrooms
Modern shower rooms
Enclosed gardens with lawns, patios, mature planting, countryside views, and off-road parking
