An exclusive property in beautiful private grounds occupying a commanding position above the hugely popular coastal village of Aberdovey.
Description
SITUATION
Plas Penhelig is situated in a prominent and elevated position above the beautiful coastal village of Aberdovey with breathtaking views towards Ynyslas, the Dyfi Estuary, Cardigan Bay and the Cambrian Hills.
Aberdovey is a peaceful seaside village situated to the north side of the Dyfi Estuary within the Snowdonia National Park, where the Dyfi meets the blue waters of Cardigan Bay. Noted for its golden sand beaches and attractive harbour with sheltered anchorage for yachts, the village is popular with holiday makers as well as having a strong local community with year round social events and activities. Aberdovey has boutique shops, art galleries, bars and restaurants along with a thriving Yacht Club and historic links golf course. The Trefeddian Hotel is a well-known destination and serves fine dining in its sea view restaurant and the Penhelig Arms, situated in the village below Plas Penhelig is an eternally popular social hub.
The locality provides an abundance of coastal scenery, hill walking, water and sailing activities, and a number of scenic cycling routes and bridle paths.
DESCRIPTION
Plas Penhelig is a wonderful Edwardian house which has been comprehensively modernised in the last 3 1/2 years. The owners instructed London interior designers and suppliers to create a stylish retreat from city living. The result is a home of exceptional quality combining the impressive period architecture with a beautiful light-filled contemporary interior. The house is set in landscaped gardens with paddocks, mature woodland and a lovely walled garden.
The property is extremely private and approached through double electric gates to a rhododendron lined driveway which meanders and rises to reveal the beautiful façade which overlooks the colourful, mature gardens and Dyfi Estuary, which is arguably one of the most picturesque estuaries in the country. There is a partially walled slate parking area to the front of the house with additional parking in the courtyard behind.
The front door opens to a panelled hallway leading into the sophisticated drawing room with a wood burning stove and a beautifully restored stained glass window from a previous home belonging to the family who built the house.
Accommodation flows effortlessly to the morning room with fine sea views from the turret, the study with a beautiful hand carved marble fireplace and the dining room / sitting room which has three sash windows.
The recently refurbished open plan kitchen is fully equipped with a range of bespoke cupboards and breakfast island. There is space for an additional dining area. The glass fronted panty is an impressive focal point. French doors open onto the terrace.
The handsome, principal staircase rises to the first floor with a magnificent stained glass window behind. It was commissioned when the house was built incorporating the Corbett family crest and Welsh scripture translating to “Praise the place in which you reside”.
Five bedroom suites flow from the spacious galleried landing, all with a spectacular outlook and ensuite bathroom with a freestanding oval bath. The principal bedroom suite commands excellent views with a fabulous dressing room, wardrobe and ensuite with a freestanding bath and shower.
The second floor has five further bedroom suites with a spacious landing leading to a secondary staircase and separate outdoor access.
GARDENS AND LAND
The enchanting gardens and grounds at Plas Penhelig compliment the house well and take full advantage of the delightful setting.
A beautiful Portico terrace with palm trees planted with scented geraniums below overlooks the coastline with virtually unrivalled panoramic views.
The mature formal gardens are bursting with colour and are enjoyable throughout the seasons. The lawns are raised and tiered with a series of slate pathways which lead to the grass tennis court and croquet lawn. The hillside is planted with a plethora of shrubs, flowers and trees including peonies, azaleas, camellia, montbretia, eucalyptus, magnolia, lavender, laburnum, tree heather, lilac trees and a monkey puzzle. A picturesque water pool with lily pads is found en route to the old tennis court which has a Portuguese laurel border creating privacy.
The splendid walled garden is bordered with David Austin roses, orange blossom, Virginia creeper, mimosa and a productive fig tree. There are a series of traditional Victorian greenhouses bordered with beautiful arum-lilys.
The property benefits from a large double garage with electric doors and a workshop off with a kitchenette and gardeners WC.
The land extends to approximately 12.4 acres of paddocks and mature woodland.
Square Footage: 19,554 sq ft
Acreage: 12.4 Acres
