About
Glyn Malden Lodge is an attractive detached two-bedroom mainly stone-built property, with later additions, set beneath a slated roof.
Occupying approximately 0.27 acres of its own gardens, the property enjoys a private and secluded setting while being conveniently located just 1.5 miles from the centre of the town, sitting adjacent to the A493.
The property has recently been redecorated, with new carpets fitted where specified, creating a fresh and versatile blank canvas for a new owner to make their own.
The kitchen would benefit from replacement, offering an excellent opportunity to create a modern space to suit individual tastes and requirements.
A particularly appealing feature is the large detached garage, which has been well constructed with insulated cavity walls.
Offering considerable versatility, it could be used as a garage, workshop or for a variety of other purposes, subject to any necessary planning consents.
There is also ample off-road parking, with the shared driveway providing convenient in-and-out access. The property benefits throughout from UPVC double glazing and electric night storage heating.
The accommodation is accessed via the front door into an entrance hall/dining room, with steps leading down to the kitchen.
From the entrance hall/dining room, further steps lead up to an inner hallway, providing access to the remaining accommodation, comprising a sitting room, two double bedrooms, a side entrance hall and bathroom.
The gardens surround the property and provide a good degree of privacy and seclusion. They are predominantly laid to lawn and include a greenhouse and useful additional storage building.
Adjacent to the detached garage is a timber-built workshop, providing further useful space.
Glyn Malden Lodge is ideally suited to those looking for a semi-rural home while remaining within easy reach of the town centre and the popular Mawddach Trail.
With its generous grounds, versatile outbuildings and potential for further improvement, the property is worthy of early viewing.
