Harlech, Gwynedd, LL46

Knocking on heaven’s door! Could this be the best view in Wales? You will simply be blown away! As agents, we’ve seen all sorts of property with some stunning views but nothing quite prepared us for what we saw when we arrived at Ty Newydd Rhyd Galed Uchaf – it affords a breathtaking vista like no other as you cast your eye across the Moelwyn range, the centre-piece of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) right across Tremadog Bay taking in the Dwyryd estuary, Port Meirion and the entire outline of the Llyn Peninsula – now beat that if you will! Approached along a long farm track, this is not your average home for your average person. It’s as rural as can be and all the richer for it and will definitely be a life affirming choice. Can the property and accommodation match the view? Well it certainly doesn’t disappoint that’s for sure. Ty Newydd Rhyd Galed Uchaf stands on a generous plot with tiered gardens, a Paddock of approximately 1 acre, attached Annexe (under construction), a Double Garage and private parking. Originally a former farmhouse (the original section has some seriously thick walls), the property has been much enlarged and modified by the present owners, providing a satisfying home that manages to blend effortlessly the old with the new. If you want character, you’ve got it but it’s as modern as needs be in all the right places. Think sympathetic restoration if you will. The interior is spacious for sure with the newer section purposely made to maximise the enjoyment of the stunning location whilst the old section (lounge) provides the character with a beamed ceiling, thick walls and impressive inglenook fireplace. Enlarged sometime around 2008, the kitchen flows through to a dedicated dining area with a further dual aspect reception room beyond. The quality kitchen comes fitted with solid granite worktops and built-in appliances. There’s the practicality of a spacious utility room and shower room on the ground floor whilst 4 bedrooms reside on the first floor, the master enjoying en-suite facilities. Served by oil central heating, much of the newer section on the ground floor has under-floor heating and all windows are uPVC double glazed units. The attached Annexe, as previously mentioned is well along in its construction but will now require finishing – this is for holiday let accommodation only from March to October. The garage has power and light and would make an excellent workshop. Despite is rural location, Harlech is only 1 mile distant, a historic town celebrated for its impressive castle, situated within the stunning Eryri National Park. This small town has numerous shops, cafes/restaurants, schools and leisure facilites. Of course, the beach offers miles of sand and sand dunes, home to the Harlech national nature reserve. The main town of Porthmadog is some 10 miles distant to the north (railway service in Harlech) with the popular seaside resort of Barmouth to the south also some 10 miles distant. In addition to the castle, Harlech is renowned for having the steepest street in the northern Hemisphere!
