Brief history
Great care and planning went into the positioning of Ty Canol when it was constructed in about 1905, ensuring that it was one of only three properties with an unobstructed view over the Golden Mile of the Towy Valley. Over the past twenty years of ownership, the current owners have ensured that the internal finish of this five bedroom home matches this commanding position. The current owners believe that the property was originally built as a home for Lady Cawdor following her divorce from the 4th Earl of Cawdor, and was designed to face directly at the setting sun and to look over the beautiful river valley and the hills beyond it.

Detailed summary
Following a detailed refurbishment and extension carried out by the current owners, Ty Canol makes for a perfect family home. The property has five reception rooms on the ground floor along with the beautiful kitchen/orangery which acts as a hub for the family. The lower level of the house is completed by a cloakroom and useful utility with a solid wood staircase leading up to the first floor. Five double bedrooms and a family bathroom provide ample space for the family and guests on this level. The real focal point of the first floor is the stunning principal bedroom with its fully glazed rear wall looking out over the valley and hills beyond. This ensuite bedroom would be a magical place to wake up in, boasting a free standing, roll-top bath and vaulted beamed ceilings.

The property is situated in about 1.6 acres of attractive gardens and lawns with well-established borders.To the side of the main house, a separate building has been constructed which houses the indoor heated swimming pool and sauna. To complement the swimming pool, a paved and decked patio area with a fully equipped bar has been created. Enjoying the same outstanding views as the main property, this truly is the perfect space to relax or entertain. This fabulous external entertaining space is perfectly matched by the five reception rooms in the main house, including an exciting games room. This property is the ultimate entertaining venue. This charming family home captivates with its breath-taking outlook, but truly mesmerizes with the attention to detail that has gone into its renovation. For those looking for a perfectly positioned property that combines a stunning rural position with the convenience of a central location, Ty Canol is perfect.
