Swn Y Gwynt is an elevated family home arranged for upside-down living to maximise spectacular sea, mountain and countryside views. The first-floor open-plan living, dining and kitchen area opens onto a glazed-front balcony that frames Snowdon and the coast — a rare, day-to-day panorama for this part of Criccieth. The house sits on a very large plot with a substantial lawn, engineered tiered gardens and a private driveway leading to a double detached garage with a recently renewed roof.
Internals are spacious and practical: three double bedrooms plus a generous linen store (with cellar access) that could be adapted to a small fourth bedroom or storage. The property retains character features such as picture windows and an open slate-surrounded fireplace, while fitted kitchen appliances include an integrated hob, oven and microwave. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support working from home and modern family life.
There are several material points to note. The property was built in the 1960s with cavity walls assumed to have no insulation; upgrading thermal insulation would improve comfort and running costs. Heating runs from an oil-fired boiler and there is just one main bathroom for four bedrooms, which may prompt layout changes for family buyers. Some finishes and services are dated and offer clear scope for modernisation or refurbishment to enhance energy efficiency and value.
For families seeking a distinctive coastal home with exceptional outlook and generous outdoor space, this property delivers an outstanding lifestyle proposition. Buyers should factor renovation, insulation and potential reconfiguration costs into their plans to fully realise the house’s long-term potential.
