DESCRIPTION

Bro Gwylan is a detached 4 bedroom dormer-bungalow constructed of block & brick with painted rendered elevations under a slate roof. The immediate position of Bro Gwylan is enviable, being in an elevated setting above the village which takes best advantage of the panoramic views. Borth-y-Gest and the neighbouring coastline is long regarded as one of the most scenic stretches in North Wales with a combination of estuary, sea and mountain views. The Glaslyn & Dwyryd estuaries are heavily tidal and as such, the view is ever changing.

The property has been recently modernised and upgraded to now cater for modern family living and is well suited to a range of users, be it permanent occupants, holiday makers or those wishing to derive an income. From the front garden a door opens into a porch with useful store room at one end and also opens into the hall, from which all ground floor rooms are accessed. To the left of the hall is the open plan kitchen which has wood strip floor throughout and is a particularly light & airy space. To the left of the room is the kitchen area with fitted wall & base units having fitted appliances to include induction hob, microwave, oven, separate 2 ring Rayburn cooker, fridge, dishwasher & 1½ bowl sink with drainer. Off the kitchen is a side utility with external door, stainless steel sink unit and freezer space. The kitchen area opens to a dining & living space with full height bay window, with bi-folding doors opening onto the terrace and this space is a focal point of Bro Gwylan with it flowing well from inside to outside. At the other end of the hall, there is a family bathroom and Bedroom 3, the latter being a double room with moulded ceiling cornice. The family bathroom has been recently fitted, containing low flush w.c., hand basin, towel rail and integrated bath. The hallway then splits off to the stair case, at the end of which is a full height window, which again has pleasant views and is the ideal space for reading. Opposite the stairs is the sitting room which is a well-proportioned room with moulded cornice and again a bay window, with double doors opening onto the large terrace. At first floor level there are 2 double bedrooms which are almost identical in size with space for wardrobes and large picture windows taking in the scenery. To the back of the house is a single 4th bedroom which could be used as a study and also the family bathroom, which has built-in hand basin, shower cubicle, low flush w.c. and towel rail. It is possible that some parties may wish to extend the property and there is certainly scope to do so to the side of the property towards the existing garage, subject to the necessary consents.

OUTSIDE

The gardens and grounds at Bro Gwylan are predominantly flat with the land to the rear sloping away to take in the view. To the front of the house is a parking area for 3/4 cars with separate detached garage/boat store. Adjacent to the garage is a rear patio with stone flags and rockery garden from which access is gained to the front door. To the side of the house, behind the garage is a side garden with space for table & chairs and above which is a barbecue area which is enclosed by mature shrubs & trees. At the rear of the house is the main garden with a large Indian stone patio across the full width of the house which takes full advantage of the elevated setting, with views across both estuaries and towards Snowdonia. Beyond the patio is a large lawned garden which is enclosed by mature hedging and to one side of the lawn a set of steps leads down to a pedestrian gate onto the village path. The steps are bordered with flowerbeds and mature shrubs and adjacent to which is the side garden which again is laid to lawn and gives pedestrian access around the house and to the side door which opens to the utility.
