An extremely handsome and beautifully finished 4,252 ft2 family home, perfect for entertaining, in a wonderful village location with extensive gardens.
Garmon House is a handsome, Grade II listed Victorian villa, dating back to about 1852 with a later addition in the early 1900's. The house is positioned within the sought after charming village of Llanfechain with its backdrop of beautiful, undulating countryside on the Welsh borders.
The current owners bought Garmon House 18 years ago and have totally updated and renovated the house into the beautiful family home it is today which is immaculately presented. All of the works have been undertaken within listed building consent and in accordance with CADW.
The house has been designed to offer spacious family living but is also fantastic for entertaining, with beautifully flowing ground floor accommodation.
The rooms are of generous proportions with high ceilings and large windows offering in plenty of natural light with views over the beautiful landscaped gardens and grounds. All of the original sash windows have been reconditioned, roped and weighted and are fitted with a Ventrolla system.
The front door opens into the entrance hallway which has decorative tiled flooring and a stunning archway leading to the accommodation at the back of the house.
To the right of the entrance hall is the spacious drawing and dining room, which was originally two rooms. This has been opened up to offer in plenty of natural light whilst also being suitable for entertaining with herringbone wooden flooring, a lovely bay window and a Clearview wood burning stove. A door leads from this room to the rear entrance hall, kitchen and cloakroom.
The snug offers a wonderful space for relaxing, with wooden flooring, an inglenook fireplace with a tiled hearth and a Clearview stove. There are built in cupboards with shelving, either side of the inglenook, offering storage space and book shelves. There is a generous separate study with French doors leading outside onto the patio and gardens, which would also serve well as a playroom.
The kitchen breakfast room is a recent addition and has been designed specifically to allow both food preparation and family life, with two integrated NEFF ovens, a five ring NEFF induction hob with pop up NEFF extractor fan. There is also a Quooker tap, integrated fridge and a separate fridge freezer. As well as an integrated BOSCH dishwasher and NEFF microwave oven.
There are a number of high gloss units at base and wall height, quartz worktops, downlights and a wonderful corner seating area with bespoke bench style seating and a pull down light. From the kitchen is a door leading into the double garage with roller shutter doors, and the utility and boot room with fitted cupboards and units with space for an American style fridge freezer, a sink, space for white goods and bi-folding doors leading outside onto the patio and gardens. The garage also provides access into the gym, and the log store.
The original staircase rises from the entrance hall to the first floor, where the accommodation splits to a separate wing by further stairs. There are two spacious double bedrooms, both with original fireplaces and views over the front garden. There is a bathroom serving both of these bedrooms, with a bath and shower over.
Bedroom four is known as the garden room, and is a large double room with beautiful views over the gardens to the side of the house and has built in wardrobes.
There is a separate, luxurious family bathroom with stylish octopus wallpaper and a statement double bath. There is a separate walk in shower fitted with a Matki power shower, a double vanity sink unit with two de-mist mirrors above with lighting, Bluetooth speakers and shave sockets.
The principal bedroom is a spacious double room with a bay window offering plenty of natural light, there are fitted wardrobes, part mirrored, along the far wall and a separate en suite shower room with a vanity sink unit. Whilst bedroom five is a double and guest room, overlooking the courtyard.
For me this is a very prominent family home within a wonderful village community
