About
Glas y Dorlan is a nature lovers paradise set in a tucked away location with around 6 acres of land made up of a large gently sloping paddock with the rest being woodland and pretty gardens with two lovely wildlife ponds.
In the gardens there is also a very useful large timber chalet, which subject to any consents required, could provide a secondary income or for overflow accommodation ( septic tank would be required ), near the cabin is a stable block needing some tlc.
The bungalow has 3 bedrooms which could use a refresh throughout with potential for a one bedroom annex to the side, again subject to any consents required.

Exterior Externally There is a driveway as you approach the property with parking for several cars.
The gardens and woodland (which are tiered) have pathways providing access to lots of "secret" garden areas which include 2 wildlife ponds, a huge variety of flowers and shrubs fill the garden area and provide a superb natural backdrop whilst providing access to both the stable block and timber cabin.
The Cabin This is a large solid timber cabin that could (subject to any consents required) be used for a variety of purposes (however it would need a septic tank (or compost loo) if accommodation were required.) Near the cabin and stables there is a convenient gated road access onto the adjacent lane.
The Cabin has electricity via solar panels.
The Land The whole site amounts to some 6 acres (see attached land plan) or thereabouts and is predominantly rough pasture (our client no longer keeps stock on the land so it is a little unkempt) and is gently sloping with a convenient gated access onto the road (so 2 gated access points) The rest of the land is made up of sloping woodland and gardens which have terraces accessed via numerous pathways.
