Afallon is an extended stone and slate cottage of around 2,245 sq ft, set in about a third of an acre of mature garden with a stream and woodland walk, on the quiet rural edge of Llanrug. Beautifully kept throughout, the house combines original character — exposed beams and natural stone walls — with an EPC of B (88), and most day-to-day living is on one level.

Llanrug, with its shops and schools, is about 1.5 miles (5 minutes) away and Caernarfon about 4 miles (12 minutes), with Bangor and Eryri within easy reach. Numerous picturesque walks can be enjoyed directly from the doorstep, making this an ideal setting for those seeking a peaceful semi-rural lifestyle without being isolated from local amenities.

The accommodation begins with a welcoming Porch featuring porcelain tiled flooring, which leads into the striking L-shaped Kitchen/Diner. The Kitchen area enjoys high ceilings with exposed original wooden beams, a pointed natural stone wall and a porcelain-tiled floor, creating a wonderful blend of character and contemporary style. Cream cabinetry is complemented by a central island incorporating useful storage and a breakfast bar, providing an ideal space for casual dining, food preparation and entertaining. The kitchen is well equipped with two induction hobs, electric oven, combination microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. The adjoining Dining area provides generous additional space for formal or informal dining and features dual patio doors and a rear-facing window, creating a strong connection with the garden and making this an excellent space for entertaining. A useful storage room, currently utilised as a Utility Room, provides additional practical space.

Off the Kitchen/Diner is a comfortable Lounge with vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. A stone inglenook fireplace houses a multi-fuel burner set upon a local slate hearth, creating a striking focal point. The room benefits from dual-aspect windows overlooking the front and side of the property, while a further door provides access from the dining area. A quirky storage area with built-in shelving adds further practicality and character. Dual patio doors lead from the Lounge into a lovely Conservatory, which enjoys panoramic views across the gardens and has bi-fold doors opening onto them, providing a peaceful space in which to relax and enjoy the surrounding landscape.

Off the central Hallway are four generous double Bedrooms. Two overlook the front of the property, one enjoys a rear aspect, while the fourth overlooks the side. The latter also benefits from an Ensuite Shower Room and additional built-in storage cupboards. Completing the ground floor is a stylish and contemporary Bathroom, fitted with a walk-in rain shower, separate freestanding bath, WC, washbasin, LED mirror and heated towel rail. Tiled walls and a tiled floor complete the modern finish. Underfloor heating runs throughout the whole of the main ground floor, providing steady, even warmth.

The first floor is given over to the Principal Bedroom, featuring attractive wood panelling, extensive eaves storage and a large octagonal side window that floods the room with natural light. Particularly impressive are the bi-fold doors opening onto a substantial balcony, creating an elevated seating area with a lovely outlook across the gardens towards the distant mountains. Also located on this floor is a generous Dressing Room, currently utilised as a sixth Bedroom, with extensive built-in eaves storage. The room offers excellent flexibility and could potentially be reconfigured to create an Ensuite, subject to the necessary consents, with the existing ground-floor Bathroom positioned directly beneath.

Outside, the property is approached via a well-maintained shared tarmac driveway which runs alongside and then crosses a stream before reaching the property's private entrance gate. To the front is a tarmac and crushed-slate parking area with room for multiple vehicles, and a front garden with flower beds and the stable/store. The tarmac driveway continues along the left-hand side of the property, providing additional parking and access to a garden shed, storage areas and the property's EV charger.

An opening within the stone wall leads through to the beautifully maintained rear garden, where a variety of mature trees, colourful flowers and established planting create a tranquil and secluded setting. A raised patio area, accessed directly from the kitchen/diner, provides an excellent outdoor seating and entertaining space overlooking the gardens. Beyond the lawn is a stream and a delightful woodland walk winding through a variety of mature trees and established planting. Two Japanese-style bridges cross the stream, allowing the gardens to be explored from different perspectives and making a lovely place to sit and enjoy the changing light and seasons. To the right-hand side of the property is a kitchen garden with raised beds and a chicken run, together with a premium Accoya greenhouse with adjoining patio and a substantial log store. A particular feature of the property is the oak-framed Workshop to the rear, traditionally hand-crafted by a renowned local oak-frame specialist and fitted with power and lighting. The finely detailed timber structure makes an exceptional workshop, studio or creative space, and complements the character of the main house. Timber steps to the side provide direct access to the balcony above.

The house has been comprehensively upgraded for comfort and low running costs, with Accoya timber windows, an air source heat pump, underfloor heating, an 8kWp solar array, a 27kWh battery and an EV charger. There is no gas or oil. The solar and battery also provide whole-house backup power, switching over automatically in the unlikely event of a power cut. The result is a warm, economical home, with an EPC rating of B (88) — rare for a stone cottage — and an Environmental Impact Rating of A.

This exceptional property successfully combines traditional character, generous accommodation, mature gardens and remarkably low running costs in a quiet semi-rural setting. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality, space, versatility and attention to detail this unique home has to offer.
