Pentre Canol Farm House, Dyffryn Ardudwy, LL44 2ET

A rare opportunity to acquire a traditional, 4 bedroom, Welsh stone farmhouse with immense potential, situated in the heart of the picturesque coastal village of Dyffryn Ardudwy, Gwynedd.

Despite recent disuse, Pentre Canol farmhouse has maintained its original frame dating back to the 1850s, as a traditional Welsh stone dwelling designed to last for ever.

It retains most of its enduring charm, largely because of its unparalleled pastoral setting.

Pentre Canol sits on a quiet lane in the authentic village of Dyffryn Ardudwy, halfway between the numerous hiking trails in the Rhinog Mountains to the east and mile upon mile of golden sand beaches with safe bathing to the west.

Given that the farmhouse requires complete renovation, in creative hands it holds untold potential to become a quietly spectacular, spacious family home, but cosy and intimate.

With the imagination and innovation of a visionary, motivated by a sense of tradition and culture, this property would live up to its name again.

Dyffryn Ardudwy enjoys a high standard of essential services: a reputable primary school, a post office, a central parking ground, two grocery shops, (one featuring a well-established butcher).

The farmhouse is a seven-minute walk from the station, with several direct trains to Birmingham, while the train journey to London Euston requires one change and takes approx. 5 ¼ hours.

There is a regular bus service to Barmouth and Harlech. The market town of Dolgellau is within easy reach, offering a wide range of shops, public houses and administrative services.

Within an hour's drive is the University City of Bangor (the oldest city in Wales), the A55, North Wales Expressway and the North Wales Coast. Harlech castle is only 5 miles away to the north.

Above Barmouth 5 miles to the south, lies a National Heritage site with spectacular walks (Cader Idris and beyond).

The property will appeal to a wide audience of buyers, to both local buyers and those looking to relocate from further afield.

The accommodation comprises briefly : entrance hallway, sitting room, dining room, pantry, kitchen, first floor landing, 4 bedrooms.

Outside the garden currently extends to the front, one side and rear with off road parking to the side. There is also an outside W.C.

Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the potential this property has to offer.

Please note; as there is currently no bathroom at the property, a mortgage is unlikely to be obtained to purchase this property because of this.
