DESCRIPTION

Seren Bendigedig is a detached property which provides an exciting and unusual opportunity to create a spacious country home in a superbly elevated location overlooking unspoilt countryside to Snowdonia. Previously a coach house to the neighbouring country house estate. Seren Bendigedig was converted to residential use, extended to a single dwelling with potential to annex. Only the main part of the house has been occupied in recent years.

The layout remains adaptable, and also offers tremendous scope for reconfiguration and possibly extension, subject to the availability of planning permission. The property would benefit from a comprehensive scheme of upgrading and refurbishment, but the site, and, in particular, the view, would support a more substantial dwelling.

The construction is a mixture of stone and block, part rendered, beneath a slate roof. The main day to day living area is on the south side of the building to benefit from the extensive views, and comprises a spacious sitting room with Clearview woodburner, sliding doors to the garden, and is open plan, on split levels, from the lounge to the kitchen which provides a range of storage units with cupboards and drawers beneath work surfaces. Beyond is a side hall with utility and bathroom.

The first floor has a landing which is large enough for use as a study and occasional bedroom, two further double bedrooms and fully fitted bathroom, all with uninterrupted countryside views. The main bedroom, with fully fitted wardrobes, faces east and has spectacular views to the Menai Strait and Great Orme in the distance.

The annexe can be accessed independently or via the staircase from within the main part of the building. Whilst, latterly, the rooms have been used for storage, they are well proportioned and adaptable accommodation, albeit also requiring modernisation and refurbishment.

LOCATION

Seren Bendigedig occupies a private, rural location above the village of Llangoed, some 2 miles to the north of Beaumaris. Set at the end of a long private drive, the property enjoys an elevated position with wonderful south easterly views across its own land and adjoining farmland, with a panoramic vista of the Menai Strait and Snowdonia Range.

Llangoed has a local shop, post office and primary school, with a more comprehensive range of services available in the castle town of Beaumaris which includes a parade of shops, pubs, restaurants, churches, chandlery, petrol station and post office. At Menai Bridge, which also has several good pubs and restaurants, there is a Waitrose. The University city of Bangor is 8 miles away with choice of supermarkets, other retail outlets and railway station.

On the recreational front, Anglesey is renowned for its attractive coastline with numerous sandy beaches many of which are within close proximity of Seren Bendigedig, and include Llanddona, Lligwy and Newborough further along the coast which, along with the Forest, provides access to Llanddwyn Island. There are golf clubs at Henllys, Rhosneigr, Bull Bay and Holyhead, miles of walking inland or around the Coastal Path and boating and fishing on the Menai Strait, with Beaumaris home to the Royal Anglesey Yacht Club. For anyone with equestrian interests there is good hacking out directly from the property, and riding stables locally including at Tal y Foel on the banks of the Strait. Across the Strait on the mainland there is fantastic walking and climbing in Snowdonia as well as other attractions such as Zipworld.

COMMUNICATIONS

The area benefits from excellent road communications being approximately 8 miles from the A55 expressway facilitating access across the North Wales coast to Cheshire and linking with the national motorway network. For travel further afield there is a direct Inter-City rail service from Bangor to London Euston via Chester and Crewe, and Liverpool and Manchester are served with international airports. There is also a regular ferry services from Holyhead to Dun Laoghaire.

OUTSIDE

The property is approached over a long, private drive to a parking area on the north side of the building. There is also a secondary gated access set within a high stone wall to an enclosed garden area with garages/sheds and access around to the east and south of the house where there are further lawns, a raised South facing decking area with astroturf surface and several borders supporting a variety of flowering trees and shrubs.

To the north is the orchard where the two caravans are sited, beyond which the boundary is delineated by a stand of mature trees and fencing which extends down to a holding paddock below the garden and house. The remainder of the land is situated to the south of the house and is sub-divided into four paddocks. It is fenced and surrounded by hedgerows with some post and rail fencing. It is gently sloping and relatively free draining, and ideally suited for anyone wishing to keep horses or livestock.

DIRECTIONS

To reach the property from Beaumaris travel in a northerly direction and having passed the castle on the left bear left out of the town. Continue on the B5109 for approximately 2 miles and having pased the Llangoed sign take the 4th turning left. Proceed past the school and on up the hill where the entrance to the drive for Seren Bendigedig will be seen on the left hand side immediately after Plas Bodfa Lodge.
