The property stands in beautifully landscaped and well maintained gardens which are mainly laid to lawn with mature hedges, a variety of trees including a large weeping willow, shrubs, a crazy paved patio, a delightful hexagonal gazebo, a large gravelled driveway which provides private off road parking and turning space for several cars, wood stores, paved paths, several garden hose points and a range of outbuildings.

The property also has extensive mature woodland which is accessed via an arched galvanised steel bridge over the Afon Cegin and this provides a delightful private woodland walk with a variety of planted decorative bushes and plants, slated paths leading through the trees and over a series of small ‘bridges’.

Hafod is of brick/concrete block construction with rendered and spar dashed elevations under a pitched slate roof and is run entirely on electricity aside from an LPG 6.9kw fire in the lounge and supplemental heat supplied via an emission approved Heta 7D 4.5kW log burner in the breakfast kitchen.

ECO ENERGY SPECIFICATIONS

The main source of solar electricity to Hafod and Nyth y Dryw (shared electricity supply) is via a Solax 3.92kW solar panel system through an inverter with energy stored in 4 x 2.4kW batteries.

Mains electricity is currently supplied by Octopus on the Octopus Go tariff with reduced cost (currently 8.5p per kWh) between the hours of 00.30 and 05.30 which, during winter months, allows the batteries to be topped up to 100%. In addition, during these times, the immersion tank water (Gledhill - 166 litres capacity) is heated to 60 degrees maximum, for use throughout the day. The immersion heater is controlled by a timer conveniently located in the breakfast kitchen.

Central heating is provided by an LG Air Source Heat Pump (Commissioned 27/7/22) supplemented by the log burner (using seasoned wood from the woods) and lounge fire as previously stated (operated by a Hive App and remote controller. Various electric heaters are also used to provide extra warmth in different rooms drawing on battery energy and the reduced rate electricity overnight.

Internal and security lighting has been fitted in both properties with low energy lights/bulbs.

As a matter of interest up to today, the total mains electricity supplied to both properties in the last 6 years is 23000 kWh and that generated by the solar system is 22820 kWh, being very nearly half of the total usage. In addition, exported solar energy through the Feed in Tariff has resulted in a £1609.02 repayment (approx £250/year).

DIRECTIONS: Proceeding out of Bangor along Llandygai road (A5), when you reach the bypass, continue straight ahead at the flyover roundabout onto the A5 towards Bethesda and at the next roundabout immediately afterwards, turn right onto the B4244 (signposted for Llanberis). After 0.9 of a mile, turn right (signposted for Glasinfryn), continue along for just over 0.4 of a mile and after you pass over the small bridge, Hafod will be found as the first property on your right hand side.
