Magnificent views, idyllic location

An idyllic location on the edge of Snowdonia, which is currently a thriving holiday let business has been launched to the market by Balfours. The 7-bedroom predominantly stone built character property, dating back some 300 years, offers spectacular views of the Welsh hills and an abundance of tourist locations within an easy drive.

Pengwern, at Llangynog, Powys, is within a short distance of Lake Vyrnwy, Bala, Llangollen, plus the medieval county town of Shrewsbury and city of Chester, are within a comfortable and scenic drive, as are the beaches of Harlech and Barmouth.

Formerly the owner’s home, the accommodation, as currently laid out, comprises of entrance hall with principal reception rooms off, plus shower/cloakroom off. Beyond the dining room is the spacious kitchen, breakfast room with seating for a dozen. Natural light floods in through sliding doors which lead to the terrace.

To the opposite side of the hall is a character lounge with a web of beams and character stone inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove. To the rear of the hall a feature door leads into an epic size family room with full sized snooker table. Other features of the room include a bar area, a wc and sliding doors to the side of the property and more wonderful views. A boot/boiler room completes the ground floor accommodation.

There are two staircases to the first floor – the traditional hall staircase leads to the landing with master suite reflecting the generous size of the family room below and incorporating ensuite shower room and dressing room. There is a second en-suite bedroom, plus three more bedrooms, one of which is accessed via stairs rising out of the kitchen and linked to the first-floor landing via the Jack and Jill family bathroom.

The main staircase ascends to the second floor where there are two more bedrooms, one of which is en-suite, plus a storeroom and a loft room. Below stairs is a cellar. Alistair Hilton, head of sales at Balfours comments: “Pengwern has immense character and is a generous property offering the opportunity to continue as a popular holiday let, or to enjoy as a private dwelling – or indeed a combination of the two. Of course, it would also adapt to be a fabulously spacious homework space.”

Externally there is ample parking, a paddock extending 1.78 acres and a range of outbuildings. Balfours are marketing Pengwern with a guide price of £1,100,000. For more information call 01743 353511.
