Property Insider: Take a look inside this eye-catching Gwynedd country residence

Have you ever fancied owning your own country residence within just under an acre of walled garden grounds tucked away in a pleasant private setting?

Cymerau at Lon Fel is a remarkably eye-catching property on the edge of the picturesque coastal village of Criccieth – a real gem of a location with a hilltop castle standing guard over the village and looking out over beautiful Tremadog Bay.

Formally a part of the Parcia Manor Estate, sections of the original building date back to the late 19th century, having then been enlarged further in the 1970s and incorporating the old Parciau stable block, making this a very exciting opportunity – somewhere that’s equally adept at being a fabulous and accommodating family home whilst giving you the versatility of using the single storey section as holiday accommodation, depending on your personal circumstances and requirements.

The property has been in the present owner’s hands for some 10 years now and while the accommodation was in fine fettle when it was originally purchased, they have undertaken much renovation and modernising work throughout and tastefully done, much in keeping with the original charm and character and to a highly pleasing standard, bringing together the best of contemporary living with the timeless style of traditional materials.

Cymerau as a whole forms a natural courtyard with a pleasant westerly aspect overlooking a wide open lawn and gated driveway, which of course provides ample private parking.

You may have noticed the bell tower too? This really does catch the eye, adding much interest and a focal point to this fine residence.

There’s even a garage in which to store your motoring pride and joy, be it a car or bike and as we all know, garages are great for storage, so if you have bikes, canoes or a small dinghy, that sort of thing, then it will be only too happy to oblige.

On the easterly side you’ll find a delightful formal garden complete with a box hedged orchard and a wonderful garden room. There’s a private walled patio too which is great for family gatherings and dining out-of-doors during the warmer months.

There is also the roof terrace for the exclusive enjoyment of those who commandeer the master bedroom, a real coup!

As mentioned, the interior has been much enhanced and makes for a highly pleasurable living experience.

The principal kitchen is a case in point, definitely the hub of the home with plenty of room to swing that proverbial cat!

Part of the kitchen extends somewhat into the courtyard with a full length roof light and twin bi-folding doors no less, bringing a real sense of the outdoors in and inviting so much natural light into the interior.

The kitchen comes with highly polished granite work surfaces, a breakfast island and a host of built-in appliances. There’s also a useful utility room tucked away to the side.

The first floor bedrooms are no-less roomy, both of which enjoy clean contemporary en-suite facilities with a sizeable roof terrace to the master and twin sets of French doors to the second bedroom, fitted with Juliet balcony style parapets.

The principal lounge offers an open fireplace which is great during wintertime where the family can gather round whilst watching a film!

The single storey section could be used to complement the main house adding a total of five bedrooms, however, an inter-connecting door can be locked so that this part of the house can function completely independently, complete with three bedrooms.

This suits the present owners perfectly for their extended family visits, after all, who wouldn’t want to visit this beautiful corner of North Wales! Therefore, it’s perfectly feasible for this part of Cymerau to function as holiday accommodation to generate income – please consult the local planning department for any consents and approvals that may be required.

The picture perfect seaside village of Criccieth is a noteworthy stop-off situated on the southern coastline of the beautiful Llyn Peninsula, a splendid location offering fine beaches, rugged coastline and beautiful countryside with the splendour of Snowdonia never too far away.
