Terraced house for sale in Holywell Terrace, Cricieth, Holywell Terrace, Criccieth LL52

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautiful cottage in the much sought after location of Cricieth. The property is located on the village green with extensive views towards the castle and sea. The setting is very quiet and peaceful as, whilst being close to the centre of the town and only a short walk from the beach, the cottage is set back from all main roads.

This unique property has been completely renovated and bespoke architect redesigned with focus on wellbeing, sustainability and easy living. It has been retrofitted based on aecb building standards using recycled and locally sourced materials wherever possible.

The layout is open plan throughout bringing natural light into the whole cottage. Clever demarcation of space is achieved by the use of storage screen dividers, so there is a clear feeling of a lounge, dining room and kitchen. The same open plan approach has been achieved upstairs with the 2 bedrooms to the front and rear of the property separated by the shower room. However, a more formal layout of rooms could be easily achieved by reinstatement of the traditional room dividing walls.

The stable door at the front of the cottage opens into the lounge with cosy log burner and bay window giving the extensive views across the green open space to Cricieth castle and sea views of Cardigan Bay.

The lounge leads through to the dining area and kitchen to the rear. A downstairs cloaks and utility room is tucked under the stairs. Exposed ceiling beams enhance the cosy cottage feel of the downstairs spaces. The glass balustraded stairs lead up from the lounge to the first floor which has stripped pine floors, vaulted ceilings and natural light pouring in through Velux roof lights.

At the back of the property, slate stone steps rise from the back door and covered porch area to a secluded sunny patio edged with herb beds and climbers scrambling over the fences to the neighbouring properties. Beyond a range of outbuildings the main garden opens out as a hidden oasis of tranquillity. The garden is more than twice the size of the adjacent gardens as it extends around the back of the neighbouring property. Being south facing, the garden is extremely productive and is laid out to vegetable plots, fruit beds, and includes a heritage variety apple tree and greenhouse. In addition to sustainable vegetable and fruit production, the garden has been managed with wildlife in mind with lush hedges, a pond, compost bins and a reduced mowing regime.

This really is a cottage designed for sustainable modern living which also pays tribute to the heritage of the property and its location.
