Description

Pax Hill is a unique, individually designed detached residence offering four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Built in traditional block and brick with stone elevations, the home is enhanced by an eye-catching part copper and fibreglass roof. Set in a commanding yet private position, the property enjoys outstanding, far-reaching views across the Mawddach Estuary and towards the dramatic Cader Idris mountain range.

The house sits within approximately 2.95 acres of beautifully maintained gardens, featuring a wide variety of mature trees, established shrubs, and tranquil seating areas. There is ample off-road parking along with a detached garage, which has recently been re-roofed.

Well-presented throughout, Pax Hill provides generously proportioned accommodation arranged over three floors, making it a versatile home suitable for a wide range of buyers. The property benefits from UPVC double glazing, oil-fired central heating, and solar panels with a feed-in tariff.

Many of the rear-facing rooms take full advantage of the spectacular views. The central entrance hallway leads into a spacious open-plan sitting/dining room, which opens onto a large conservatory overlooking the gardens, estuary, and mountains beyond. From the dining area, there is access to a fitted kitchen, which also connects to a secondary entrance hallway and utility/cloakroom.

From the sitting area, stairs descend to the first lower ground floor where a hallway provides access to three bedrooms (including one with en-suite facilities) and a family bathroom. A further staircase leads to the second lower ground floor, which houses another generously sized en-suite bedroom.

Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the setting, space, and lifestyle that Pax Hill has to offer.

Bontddu is a village situated half way between the market town of Dolgellau (approx. 5 miles) and the seaside resort of Barmouth.

The ancient market town of Dolgellau sits within an area of outstanding natural beauty set in the Southern Snowdonia National Park, at the foot of the Cader Idris mountain range. Dolgellau is an excellent base for walkers and outdoor pursuits. The town provides a small cottage hospital, primary & secondary schools, a tertiary college as well as restaurants, pubs, library, rugby & cricket clubs and is within 10 miles of the coast and 6 miles of a main line railway station.

The picturesque seaside town of Barmouth is located on the West Coast of North Wales and lying between a mountain range and the sea on the mouth of the river Mawddach, is arguably one of the most beautiful locations in Wales. The town itself offers an array of restaurants, pubs, cafes and local independent shops. The surrounding countryside provides superb opportunities for outdoor/water activities.
