5 bedroom detached house for sale

A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE A BEAUTIFUL FIVE BEDROOMED DETACHED COUNTRY RESIDENCE OF IMMENSE CHARACTER SITUATED IN AN UNRIVALLED PRIVATE AND TRANQUIL RURAL SETTING WITH STUNNING PANORAMIC VIEWS OF THE SNOWDONIA MOUNTAIN RANGE AND THE SURROUNDING COUNTRYSIDE APPROXIMATELY FIVE MINUTES DRIVE FROM THE A55 EXPRESSWAY AND TWELVE MINUTES FROM THE BRITANNIA BRIDGE.

The property affords easy access to Bangor University and hospital with a fast line train service to London Euston in just over three hours. The property stands in approximately 3.5 acres comprising two paddocks of 2.8 acres with a fruit orchard alongside the principal garden of 0.7 acres comprising mature shrub/herbaceous borders, a raised rockery and two ponds planted with an array of water lilies and iris. The long private driveway sweeps into a cobbled paved courtyard with ample parking for boats and numerous vehicles.

This is only the second time the property has been available on the open market and has been in the current vendor’s ownership for nearly 30 years. Rarely do properties in this location and of this type come onto the open market that afford such easy and quick access to the University city of Bangor and that are within seven minutes of local supermarkets and amenities yet enjoy unrivalled privacy and breathtaking views of the Snowdonia mountain range from virtually all rooms within the property. Alongside this, Anglesey offers an array of beautiful beaches with the stunning Newborough Beach and Llanddwyn island only ten minutes away from the property and access to the Menai Strait five minutes away.

Caer Brenin offers extensive, versatile and delightful family accommodation which has a wealth of appointments throughout including light oak parquet flooring and a sweeping curved restored Edwardian staircase to the reception hall and period cast iron radiators with bronze wheel valves to many of the principal rooms. There is a light spacious kitchen diner with a Fired Earth clay tiled floor and a comprehensive range of ‘limed oak’ matching base and wall cupboard units in the more desirable linen fold design off which there is a good sized utility room, both rooms enjoying sun. The principal bathroom features a high quality Villeroy & Boch suite with a wonderful roll top cast iron bath in which to luxuriate and enjoy the mountain views. The large master bedroom suite enjoys an en-suite walk-in dressing room and walk-in wet room.

Outside are a wealth of useful buildings. The stable/garage complex has two stables with large vaulted ceilings and purpose built stable doors, garaging for two cars and an additional large workshop/tack room. The cobbled effect creteprint in front of the stable/garage complex has all been installed to exacting standards and affords ample private parking for boats/vehicles. Bordering the extensive lawns are mature shrub and herbaceous borders and a dedicated herb garden is easily accessed from the kitchen/utility room rear door. The piste de resistance is an elegant and large detached pavilion style building offering almost 1000 sq.ft. of open plan space over two floors and this has potential to provide further living accommodation subject to the usual consents.

The majority of the property externally to the first floor is stone clad onto a twin cavity insulated wall affording great insulating/cooling properties during the winter/summer months respectively with roughcast and painted elevations to the first floor under a pitched slate roof. All the internal dividing walls are of solid stone/brick construction to the ground and first floors.

Continue along for 200 yards and take the left turning opposite Stermat Hardware stores, continue along for 500 yards and turn right just before Wynnstay Farmer Supplies. Follow this country lane for 1.5 miles until you reach the ‘T’ junction on the bridge. Turn right and continue for 500 yards and the turning for the lane leading to the property is the second on the left. Follow this drive for 300 yards and the entrance to Caer Brenin will be found on the left hand side.
