Located on the periphery of the coastal resort of Colwyn Bay in a beautiful wooded glade lies Cilgoed, standing in extensive landscaped gardens measuring some 1.67 acres and providing a tangible haven of peace and tranquility, a real credit to the present owners who have reassuringly loved and nurtured the gardens into what you see before you today. The position affords much privacy whilst being within easy reach of amenities and miles of sandy beaches to be found on this scenic stretch of North Wales’ northern coastline.
Cilgoed enjoys an elevated stance with a dramatic northerly aspect overlooking the main section of garden with far reaching views towards the sea and the coastal windfarm located far on the horizon, not a bad scene to wake up to each morning it must be said. With a gated driveway and plentiful off road parking, the approach gives little away to what lies within and beyond – a few welcome surprises await that’s for sure.
Now, whilst the gardens play a major role in making the property what it is, first let’s delve inside and put the accommodation under the spotlight. This is a practical home which will serve a family handsomely. The principal reception room offers a triple aspect, spacious enough for dining duties whilst providing patio doors that open outwards towards the delights of the main garden, a room we’re sure will be in frequent use.
The kitchen (with a number of fitted appliances) has a dedicated breakfast room and small conservatory located on the southern side whilst a more relaxed setting can be found in the sitting room, again enjoying a triple aspect and the comforts of a wood burning stove. From here you’ll find a superb private study with WC which would definitely suit someone working from home or indeed be utilised as an occasional bedroom if desired.
On the first floor are three double bedrooms, two of which provide exceptional views, the master enjoying a dual aspect and the convenience of en-suite facilities. All are served by a well-appointed bathroom. The accommodation comes fully double glazed and served by an oil fired central heating system.
Off the main driveway is access to a single garage which currently serves as a most useful garden store, somewhere to hide away all garden tools and suchlike. A well-stocked terraced garden runs across the northerly elevation with a set of central steps leading to the main garden proper. It’s worth noting that there is a secondary access way located to the northern boundary (perfect for a touring caravan or boat for that matter), providing vehicular passage to a superbly spacious double garage. This garage provides facilities as the ultimate workshop and will undoubtedly satisfy handsomely.
The main garden is primarily laid to lawn and home to many mature specimen of trees, plants and shrubs whilst providing a certain formal appeal together with hidden seating areas and a stately metal pergola providing a classy touch. A large and well-stocked pond feeds a further pond, together providing the perfect habitat for all manner of colourful wildlife. Of course, no such garden would be complete without a sizeable working greenhouse, something which Cilgoed is happy to provide. Completing the outdoor space is a further garden to the rear backing onto open farmland. Here you’ll find a working vegetable plot and areas left purposely wild to encourage wildlife.
Nearby Colwyn Bay offers excellent amenities, numerous schools, a national rail service and splendid promenade and sandy beach plus the convenience of the A55 expressway. Historic Conwy and the bustling Victorian resort of Llandudno can be reached within a matter of minutes and that includes some of the areas fabulous beauty spots, Eryri/Snowdonia springing readily to mind. Colwyn Bay also has numerous recreational facilities to include the famous Welsh Mountain Zoo, theatre and Eirias Park Venue.
