Come On In…
The oak porch is a sunny entrance with a glazed roof and space for storing boots and coats. Step inside the hall where the original stone wall is exposed as a gentle nod to the property’s history.
The dining room is an excellent space for entertaining for a formal dining experience. Oak covers the floor, and a lovely powder-blue Rayburn is positioned in the corner, which is a clue that this room was once the kitchen.
At the rear of the dining room, you will find a useful WC and utility room where you will find the boiler and plumbing for a washing machine.
The living room is in the 18th-century part of the property, with the original stone walls and a cosy fireplace. There is plenty of space for sofas to enjoy lovely evenings in front of the TV or curling up with a good book from the built-in bookshelves.
Bi-fold doors open into the garden room, where the glazing and roof lantern flood the space with natural light. This is a fantastic family space, which opens up further into the kitchen. This open-plan area is perfect for the whole family to be together, as well as fabulous for entertaining. During the warmer months, open the double doors that lead to the south-facing terrace, creating a seamless connection with the outside.
The Heart Of The Home…
An archway from the garden room leads into the kitchen, the heart of the home, where the east-facing windows allow the rising sunlight to pour into the space in the morning. Friends and family gather here to chat and enjoy meals together in an informal setting. White shaker-style units are fitted and topped with granite worktops, providing plenty of workspace and storage. There is a double Belfast sink unit positioned in such a way as to benefit from the magnificent views whilst you are washing up, although there is an integrated dishwasher if you would prefer. There is an American-style fridge freezer with a built-in wine rack above. A Lacanche range-style electric double oven and induction hob await the chef of the home to rustle up all manner of culinary delights. A door leads from here back into the front hallway, offering a lovely flow through the house, which is fantastic when entertaining.
“Whether garden parties, BBQs or dinner parties in the cooler months, Penmynydd has been the perfect property for hosting our family and friends.”
Time For Bed…
Climb the stairs to the first floor, where you will find the principal bedroom, a haven of peace to rest after a long day with outstanding views across the vista. The en suite bathroom is luxurious, with a free-standing bath taking centre stage. There is a wash hand basin unit, WC, and a large walk-in shower with a drying area. A smaller bedroom, accessed from the landing by a few steps, serves as a dressing room for the principal bedroom. Built-in wardrobes fill two walls, and there is a space for a seat or dressing table in front of the window.
The second bedroom has two windows overlooking the views, a built-in wardrobe, and an en suite shower room, making it an ideal guest room. Another smaller bedroom on this floor is a lovely home office space with bookshelves fitted but could serve many purposes, including a sixth bedroom if required.
“The house has been wonderful for raising our family, and we have made so many great memories here.”
On the second floor, there are three bedrooms. Each is spacious with plenty of head height and takes full advantage of the fantastic views with window seats or space to position a desk. A bathroom with a shower, wash hand basin, and WC serves the bedrooms on this floor.
Outside...
Enjoy long summer afternoons with the panoramic view as a backdrop, sitting on the paved terrace as you enjoy a coffee or perhaps something a little stronger. There are tiered lawned areas with mature flower-filled borders, established trees and impressive Rhododendrons and Camellias with their bright floral display. The pond attracts a wide variety of insects and wildlife, and there is a vegetable plot where you can grow your own fruit and vegetables.
“The children had such a fantastic childhood in this home, with the freedom to play and explore safely.”
