6 bedroom detached house

Cymerau Uchaf is a family home offering almost 2,400 sq. ft. of accommodation arranged over two floors. Whilst in need of modernisation and reconfiguration, it offers the prospective purchaser an ideal opportunity to create a beautiful family home in a stunning rural setting.

Originally converted from two properties, the ground floor accommodation has two entrances. The first has access to the reception hall with a fitted utility room and family bathroom, and leads through to a large drawing room with parquet flooring, open fireplace and a door to a glazed rear porch. The other entrance gives access to a second family bathroom and to an inter-connecting suite of rooms comprising a family room with window seating, exposed stone open fireplace and doors to a triple aspect garden room, and the neighbouring sitting room with a fireplace. Both sides of the property are linked by a generous kitchen/breakfast room with a range of base units and space for integrated appliances and a good-sized table, offering real potential to create a stunning family and entertaining space at the heart of the home. The first floor accommodation is accessible over a staircase in the entrance hall and from separate stairs rising from the family room, each leading to three well-proportioned bedrooms and the former with a separate W.C.

Located in a conservation area within the Snowdonia National Park, Cymerau Uchaf is an ideal rural retreat for those who love a variety of outdoor pursuits including walking, hiking, climbing, fishing, canoeing, water sports, wildlife and bird watching. The historic town of Blaenau Ffestiniog has a range of day-to-day amenities including boutique shopping, cafés, arts centres, pubs and services together with numerous tourist attractions including the Ffestiniog Narrow Gauge Railway, Llechwedd Slate Caverns, competition-level mountain biking trails, Zipworld, and Bounce Below. Communications links are excellent: the nearby A470 runs north to Llandudno and south to Dolgellau and beyond and meets the A55 North Wales Expressway with its links to Chester and the national motorway network and the A5 at Betws-y-Coed, giving access to Llangollen, Wrexham to the east and Bangor and Holyhead to the west. Blaenau Ffestiniog train station runs to the North Wales coast at Llandudno Junction, with onwards links to Chester, Holyhead, Manchester, Wolverhampton and central London

The area offers a range of state schooling including Ysgol Maenofferen and Ysgol y Moelwyn, with the independent St. Gerards School (Bangor) slightly further afield.

Standing on a generous plot, the property is approached through a five-bar gate over a sweeping driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles and giving access to a detached outbuilding with two garages and a useful external store. The garden surrounding the property is laid mainly to level lawn bordered by mature shrubs and trees and to the rear has a pedestrian path and gate giving access to the property’s 22.11 acres of rough pasture bordered by the beautiful Afon (River) Bowydd with its numerous rock pools and waterfalls, the whole enjoying panoramic views over the beautiful Snowdonia countryside.
