Caeathro, Caernarfon, Gwynedd, LL55

An opportunity to step back in time with this fine example of a former working farmhouse – Maes Merddyn, a substantial Detached Dwelling is situated in a pleasant location on the periphery of the Royal town of Caernarfon, standing in generous mature garden grounds to include a Paddock, Woodland and an extensive array of traditional Outbuildings and Barns. Unspoilt by time, Maes Merddyn is a real treat for those who of us who like to wear our rose tinted glasses, remembering simpler, less complicated times perhaps. And yet, time moves on, so are you the one who can realise its latent possibilities? It’s clear to see that the property offers enormous potential not only as a family home but so much more besides. It could of course be just your very own haven to enjoy the natural surroundings, maybe somewhere to nurture an interest in being more self-sufficient whereby keeping chickens or suchlike has been a dream you’d like to realise. But of course, the outbuildings cannot be ignored – the attached barn in particular could be converted to expand the accommodation of the main dwelling (any such undertakings will require planning consents and approval) whilst the Lodge could be made into a self-contained annexe (usual planning required). The other outbuildings of course offer further possibilities, however they could be utilised as intended, as a workshop and any associated space required to perhaps run a business from. There are doubtless many permutations worth exploring. The interior of Maes Merddyn offers three reasonably sized reception rooms, two of which have open fireplaces (wood stoves) and four bedrooms reside on the first floor served by a bathroom and separate WC. As you may have guessed, the property will require sympathetic modernising and upgrading. Externally, lawned gardens encompass the property, there’s ample private parking, an orchard, pond, woodland and paddock with its own separate access off the main road. Located on the periphery of the popular village of Caeathro bordering open countryside. The village of Caeathro offers the convenience of a petrol station and integrated village store whilst Caernarfon town centre is approximately 3 miles distant. The property is close to a good network of roads for quick and easy access to the Eryri National Park, the fabulous coastline, the university city of Bangor and A55 expressway.
