    OIRO £850,000
    4 bedroom detached house for sale
    A rare opportunity to acquire a small estate created during the Regency period in the Picturesque style of the time, and little changed since then. The house and gardens have come down the generations with their charm and character intact: a period piece in a secluded corner of southern Snowdonia.

    Pantlludw is an enchanting, detached Grade II Listed four-bedroom residence, dating from the early 19th century and constructed in traditional coursed rubble under a slated roof. Tucked away in a secluded valley, the property is approached via a gated private driveway that leads to this elegant Regency-style home, showcasing striking architecture and a truly individual charm. There is ample parking for multiple vehicles.

    Set in approximately 97.5 acres, Pantlludw enjoys an elevated position within beautifully landscaped and diverse grounds. These include established gardens bursting with colour from mature shrubs, a variety of mature trees, most notably a magnificent ancient Yew and expanses of woodland, pasture, and a serene private lake situated at the highest point. The grounds offer a haven for wildlife and command breath-taking views across the Dyfi Estuary and the surrounding countryside.

    Approximately 21.5 acres of woodland are held on a 999-year lease with Natural Resources Wales. In addition, a further parcel of land totalling 52.5 acres is leased to a neighbouring farmer on a renewable 12-month agreement.

    Owned by the same family for generations, Pantlludw was sympathetically extended in the early 20th century to include an additional bedroom and bathroom. The home retains an abundance of original character features, including exposed wooden floorboards, original fireplaces, a delightful mix of sash, leaded, and stained-glass windows, and a charming veranda along the south-eastern elevation. The generously proportioned rooms offer comfortable and flexible living space throughout. Pantlludw is a unique and seldom available property, positioned within a beautiful location.

    The property benefits from LPG gas-fired central heating, a private water supply, and private drainage. The grounds are exceptionally well-stocked, appealing to gardening enthusiasts and those with an interest in woodland management. Outbuildings include a garage and a potting shed.

    Accommodation in brief: entrance porch, hallway, separate dining room and sitting room, study, kitchen, laundry room, bathroom, pantry, and a scullery with staircase leading to bedroom one. The first floor offers a landing, three further bedrooms, and a second bathroom.

    Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the rare opportunity Pantlludw presents.
