There are few properties which command such impressive views, with large gardens, and are rich with history, whilst still being within close proximity of Caernarfon town centre. Parkia marries all these elements, whilst delivering a spacious home with 4 good-sized bedrooms. The present owners have called this home for the past 43 years but are now looking to downsize.
The original estate, Parkia, was the home of Sir Llewelyn Turner, a well-know solicitor and reformist mayor of Caernarfon who was knighted in 1870. The manor house, who ruins are within the grounds of this property, is understood to be one of the first to have its own electric light plant in Caernarfon. Sadly, Parkia was demolished during World War II, but the gatehouse (not included in this sale) and long driveway remain. The estate's influence is still visible in the landscape and architecture of the region, reflecting its past prominence in local industry and society.
Bryn Parkia is a delightful, detached dorma bungalow sitting in just under 3 acres of grounds. Whilst the home could benefit from some modernisation, its well-maintained interiors won’t disappoint. Entering the property via the front door you’ll find a wide Entrance Hall. Off the hallway is the sizeable Living Room with multi-fuel stove, large patio doors, and windows in almost every direction. From here you can enjoy those rolling views down towards the Menai Strait and beyond to Anglesey – these views can be appreciated from most front aspects of the property, including the WC, or as they like to call it “the loo with a view!” Moving down the hallway you’ll find a large Dining Room with open-fireplace which leads into the Sun Room. The Sun Room is a splendid space to enjoy those views from the comfort of your armchair, whilst being protected from the frequent wet weather. To the rear of the property is the Kitchen/Diner with tiled floor and built-in fridge, dishwasher, twin oven, and hob. This inviting space feels like the heart of the home, enjoying views over the lawned gardens. A functional tiled Utility Room adjoins the kitchen with the aforementioned “loo with a view”. The first of four bedrooms can be found on the ground floor, with built-in wardrobes and patio doors out to the garden. Completing the ground floor is a well-proportioned Bathroom with separate shower and heated towel rail. Moving Upstairs you’ll find 3 bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes, a WC, tiled Shower Room, and attic storage area. The home is heated via oil central heating and has double glazing throughout.
Outside you’ll find a sweeping tarmac driveway with iron gates. There is ample off-road parking to both sides of the property, plus a double garage. The beautifully landscape gardens have mature borders, a greenhouse, small stream, and many secrets to discover. Within the grounds you’ll find several statues, including Lord Nelson head, and the remaining ruins of Parkia. Many hours could be spent wondering the grounds and enjoying nature and your surroundings. To the front of the property is an area of traditional patio, perfect to relax and soak up those views across the Menai Strait towards Anglesey. You really must view this property to fully apricate the well-proportioned accommodation, rolling views over the Menai Strait, and delightful grounds.
Nearby is the beautiful and scenic Menai Strait and convenient for easy travel into Caernarfon only 2 minutes away by car and the university city of Bangor some 7 miles distance. Travelling along the A4871 which provides the link along these parts. The Menai Strait is pleasant and eye-catching with the tidal waters revealing the sandbanks as the day progresses. Within Caernarfon Town lies a varied array of bistros, cafés and restaurants, an award-winning arts centre, a maritime museum and an attractive range of shops and stores. There is also the magnificent Caernarfon Castle, one of the UK’s most celebrated world heritage sites. Within the castle walls you'll discover narrow streets with a range of independent outlets that will satisfy your curiosity along with the interesting buildings. The Eryri National Park can also be easily accessed from the town offering beautiful mountain scenery!
