Dating back to the early 1900s, the property enjoys an elevated setting that commands truly breathtaking, far-reaching views across the Conwy Estuary and towards the dramatic landscape of Eryri National Park.

The house retains a wealth of original architectural detail, including elegant ceiling cornicing and open fireplaces, seamlessly blending heritage charm with generous, versatile accommodation ideally suited to modern family living.

Ground floor A sheltered veranda leads to an impressive, studded timber entrance door, which opens into a welcoming vestibule with adjoining boot room and a well-appointed shower facility.

Beyond, an elegant reception hall sets the tone for the generous proportions found throughout the home, providing access to the principal ground floor accommodation and hosting the staircase.

To the right, the formal dining room offers a refined setting for entertaining, centred around an ornate marble fireplace with carved stone surround.

Also, to the right, a snug provides a more intimate and tranquil retreat, enjoying a pleasant outlook across the side gardens.

At the far end of the hall, the principal reception room is a particularly impressive space, with a large bay window framing the far-reaching views across the surrounding landscape.

An open fireplace with timber surround forms a focal point, while a doorway connects seamlessly to the adjoining morning room.

Positioned to the left of the hall, the breakfast kitchen is both characterful and generously proportioned, fitted with an extensive range of timber cabinetry beneath work surfaces, complemented by a central peninsula.

A spacious dining area is arranged around a striking inglenook fireplace with inset wood-burning stove, creating a warm and sociable heart to the home.

To the rear a utility room provides practical space, while also granting access directly to the rear courtyard.

From the opposite side of the kitchen, a pantry walkway leads through to the morning room, which also connects to the principal reception space, enhancing the natural flow of the accommodation.

The morning room is a particularly delightful space, filled with natural light and arranged to take full advantage of its exceptional setting.

Sliding doors open onto a raised patio, offering a peaceful and private vantage point from which to enjoy the outstanding views.

First floor The staircase rises to a split-level landing, offering initial access to a guest bedroom, before turning to a wide and naturally light first-floor landing that enhances the sense of space and flow.

To the right, two generously proportioned double bedrooms are beautifully appointed, each benefitting from its own en suite shower room.

One of these rooms is further complemented by fitted wardrobes and a dedicated dressing area.

Across the landing, a set of double doors featuring bottle-green stained glass opens to a WC, a well-appointed family bathroom and an airing cupboard.

This area serves an additional spacious bedroom, making it ideal for family living or visiting guests.

Set at the far end of the landing, the principal suite is undoubtedly one of the home’s most impressive features.

A magnificent full-width bay window frames breathtaking, far-reaching views across the estuary and towards the mountains beyond, creating a constantly changing natural backdrop.

The room itself is wonderfully proportioned, enhanced by an ornate decorative fireplace and serviced by a stylish en suite shower room.

An inner corridor leads away from the main landing passing an original service hatch. The corridor provides access to two further well-sized bedrooms and a second family bathroom.

This wing of the house lends itself perfectly to independent living for older children, guests or extended family, offering both privacy and flexibility within the overall layout.

Gardens and grounds The property is approached via a gated entrance, opening onto a long, meandering driveway flanked by stone walls and mature woodland, creating a wonderfully private and atmospheric approach.

The driveway passes a parking area with an open-fronted timber-clad garage, before continuing to the principal parking area set directly in front of the house.

The front gardens are particularly picturesque, with gently rising lawns framed by an abundance of well-stocked borders, mature shrubberies and specimen trees, creating a beautifully established setting that complements the stature of the house.

To the left of the parking area, a door opens into a sheltered courtyard, offering secondary access into the property and serving a range of useful outbuildings, including multiple storage rooms, a boiler house and oil tank store.

From here, a covered walkway leads through to the rear gardens, which are truly exceptional.

Enjoying breathtaking views across the Conwy Estuary towards the dramatic Eryri mountain range, the gardens are believed to have been influenced by the renowned horticultural expertise of nearby Bodnant Garden.

Thoughtfully designed and meticulously maintained, they combine sweeping lawns with richly planted herbaceous borders, creating a vibrant and ever-changing landscape that draws the eye effortlessly from the immediate setting to the wider scenery beyond.

The gardens descend in a series of gently tiered levels, incorporating private terraces, planted banks and more natural areas, offering both structure and seclusion.

Tucked within this area is a cellar space known as “the cave”, historically used for storage.

Beyond the formal gardens, a pathway leads past a traditional brick outbuilding with two separate stores, before arriving at a productive orchard and potting garden.

A pedestrian gateway from here opens directly into the paddock, which accounts for the majority of the land.

The paddock itself is predominantly laid to permanent pasture, with a pleasing mix of level ground and gentle undulation.

Interspersed with mature trees and enclosed by a combination of hedgerow and stock-proof fencing, it offers excellent potential for equestrian, recreational or smallholding use.

Access is available both from the orchard and via a secondary gated entrance along the approach lane.

Completing the grounds, a footpath leads from the orchard into a wooded nature garden, intentionally left to encourage wildlife and biodiversity.

From here, a further gateway connects to the side access track, which also serves as vehicular access to the paddock.
