Set down a private drive across Porthmadog Golf Course, this large Welsh farmhouse sits within about 1.5 acres of secluded, mature gardens and woodland backdrop. The house combines retained Victorian character at the front with a substantially enlarged and modernised rear wing, offering flexible family accommodation across almost 5,000 sq ft. Ground-floor underfloor heating, a large kitchen with island and AGA, two spacious reception rooms and a convenient ground-floor bedroom/shower room make day-to-day living comfortable.
Outbuildings are a notable strength: multiple stores, workshops, garage space and a barn with power and some drainage already connected provide scope for hobbies, home business use or conversion subject to consents. The gardens are private and varied, with an orchard, natural pond and many planted ‘rooms’ that enhance the rural setting and outlook towards open fields and the coast nearby.
Important practical points are also clear. The property uses oil-fired heating and private drainage; the original granite walls are uninsulated (assumed) and the EPC is D. Council tax is described as expensive. While a significant renovation was carried out around twenty years ago and double glazing was installed after 2002, further energy-efficiency work and ongoing maintenance will be required to fully modernise running costs.
This home will suit a family seeking space and privacy close to coast and countryside, or buyers wanting an established rural property with scope to improve energy performance and add value. The house is chain free and ready for immediate occupation, but factor in maintenance and upgrade costs if low-running costs and full modern insulation are priorities.
