NO ONWARD CHAIN.

Bryngolau is an attractive small holding that offers idyllic rural surroundings and a real lifestyle change for new owners. Bryngolau means ‘Hill of light’ and has open countryside views with outstanding sunrises and sunsets. The property enjoys dark skies at night which are perfect for star-gazing. The Woodland Trust’s Coed Y Foel is easily accessible and for those interested in horse riding the property’s drive leads directly onto a bridleway.

The handsome farmhouse thought to date early c.1800s (not listed) offers character accommodations space with modern comforts. In summary, a large kitchen dining living room, separate sitting room and three bedrooms (two with en suite bath/shower rooms) and a further separate shower room. Planning permission has been granted in March 2024 for an impressive extension to the property to provide further accommodation space. The designs were done by the local award winning architecture firm Rural Office. Please see design images on the online details and further information is available from the selling agents.

The property is framed by its own land with a pretty tree lined gated driveway, traditional courtyard garden, landscaped grounds, apple and walnut orchards and a substantial stone barn with conversion potential. The stone barn was granted planning permission in late 1990’s for conversion to two holiday letting units. This planning has lapsed but shows what could potentially be done here. This is very much an unspoilt holding. It is a blank canvas with potential to develop if a purchaser desires more accommodation.

There are also a range of more modern outbuildings (including a new barn) that suit a variety of uses.

The planted orchards are set out in an agroforestry design to enable grazing alongside the fruit and nut trees to encourage biodiversity, in harmony with nature. In addition there are a series of well-maintained pasture fields and a small area of established woodland. In all, the property extends to about 12 acres.

Accommodation Ground Floor
A welcoming covered front entrance leads into the sitting room with slate flag floor, beamed ceiling and a wood burning stove providing a warm focal point. A door on the right leads into a bedroom with exposed stone wall that enjoys its own wood burning stove and an en suite bathroom with bath, separate shower, heated towel rail and an ornate tiled floor. Another door off the sitting room opens into another bedroom/study that overlooks the rear garden. Another doorway leads off the living room to the large kitchen dining living room that has the same character slate flag floor, island unit with sink, fitted storage units with slate worktops, superb twin slate sinks and space for a cooker. There is also an old solid fuel cooking range that is not currently in use. Double doors open of the living dining area to the front courtyard garden. A door leads off the kitchen area to a rear hall with door to the rear garden and a bathroom. There is underfloor heating throughout the ground floor which makes future conversion to air or ground source heat pumps straightforward.

First Floor
Stairs rise up from the living room to the main first floor accommodation that includes the principal bedroom suite that has a stunning vaulted ceiling with exposed A-frames, a wood burning stove and an en suite shower room. A separate staircase leads up from the kitchen area to a useful first floor attic area which makes an ideal storage space.

Externally – The Outbuildings – The Land
The property is framed by its own land with a pretty tree lined gated driveway, traditional courtyard garden, landscaped grounds, apple and walnut orchards, impressive and substantial stone barn with conversion potential (stp – subject to planning) and a range of more modern outbuildings including a Dutch barn with lean to wings, a recently replaced new three-bay open-sided barn, all of which suit a variety of uses for the keeping of animals, feed, machinery, general storage, workshops, studios etc.

In addition there are a series of well-maintained pasture fields that are perfect for the keeping of animals with lots of new fencing, a small area of established woodland and an area of newly planted woodland, mature hedgerows and flourishing, recently planted hedgerows. In all, the property extends to about 12 acres.
