A property which may well date back to 1786 judging by the markings on the inglenook timber work, Hafod Y Llyn Uchaf really does epitomise what a secluded Welsh residence truly can be, a purposeful looking dwelling tucked away on the edge of a deciduous woodland, overlooking open heathland affording SSSI status (Site of Special Scientific Interest) – an outstanding place to escape the hustle and bustle for sure. The property, standing in some 1 Acre of land or thereabouts, resides within the Snowdonia National Park in a simply stunning setting with extensive views eastward with the Cnicht and Moelwyn range of mountains located off in the distance with the surrounding landscape home to a wide variety of native wildlife and flora, plenty enough to keep any nature lover happy. The residence is complemented by a Cedar clad 2 tier garage/carport and store that blends effortlessly with its surroundings, of course there’s ample parking, an orchard and so much more besides. Significantly, being practically self-sufficient (adding much appeal), you’ll find an extensive rooftop solar (PV) installation for free electricity, plus a separate hot water set-up and private water supply via a bore-hole with pump and filter arrangement. Hafod Y Llyn Uchaf has been much enlarged over the years, in complete sympathy with the original dwelling and has subsequently been enlarged further by the present owners, offering accommodation which as you might have guessed has bags and bags of character yet is not shy on being contemporary where it really needs to be. The older parts of the house of course offer the most in terms of charm with an impressive inglenook and beamed ceilings, copious use of Welsh slate flooring, two wood burning stoves, an oil fired Aga range and utility room. The bedrooms on the first floor are no less impressive, especially within the older section with its vaulted ceiling and exposed ‘A’ frame beams whilst the newer section complements with high ceilings to match. All in all, a fabulous ‘homely’ home that’ll satisfy anyone’s love of the countryside. Benefiting from timber double glazing and oil-fired central heating, the accommodation briefly affords: Lounge, Sitting Room, Dining Room/Kitchen, Utility Room (gas cooker included), Larder, WC, Landing, 4 Bedrooms, Nursery, Bathroom and Shower Room.

Positioned close to the head of the Vale of Glaslyn a few miles south of Beddgelert, nearby Llanfrothen can offer a few basic amenities and a public house but there are two towns within easy reach – Penrhyndeudraeth and Porthmadog, Porthmadog offering the lion's share of available goods and services, schools and leisure outlets and being a seaside town, there are excellent sailing and mooring facilities. Caernarfon is approximately 14 miles distant with the university city of Bangor some 9 miles further on.
