Dolgellau, Gwynedd, LL40

The property
Pandy Isaf has been extensively enlarged from a small cottage to a Welsh country house of note and charm. The house has been used for many years as a successful holiday business, details of which can be obtained from the agent. Characterful features include exposed stone work, feature original beams, inglenook fireplaces and wooden floors.

The house is discreetly set to the side of the garden with a winding path that leads past a sunken terrace to the front door. The front door opens directly into the drawing room which is the oldest part of the house with a large welsh slate inglenook adding character. Crittall style doors open to the superb vaulted kitchen/breakfast room. This has been re fitted with painted shaker style units under Silestone worktops and has a creatively designed peninsular bar area as well as ample space for a dining table and chairs. The whole of one wall is glazed making a light space to seamlessly transcend to the terrace beyond. The sitting room is semi open plan to the dining room, divided by a stylish central chimney peace. These light rooms offer space for entertaining and family life with a number of windows maximising the rural views. Creating versatility there is a downstairs double bedroom with en suite bathroom, facing the rear garden. Stairs lead up to a family room/office making these rooms ideal for guests, teenagers or working from home. The office, utility room, cloakroom with W.C. and useful store complete the ground floor accommodation.

The principal bedroom suite is in the upper floors of the original cottage and is accessed via a private staircase. Set within the eaves there is clever storage, exposed beams and Velux windows. A large en suite bathroom with views to the front is a useful addition. A further staircase attractively carved from wood leads from the dining room to two further light filled double bedrooms, both with en suite bathrooms. All the bathrooms have been refitted in recent years with white sanitary wear.

Location
The ancient market town of Dolgellau sits within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty set in the southern Snowdonia National Park at the foot of the Cader Idris mountain range.
