Attractive country property offering generous and flexible living accommodation and an impressive office/studio. Set in magical landscaped grounds and gardens extending to about 1.28 acres.

Description
Pen Y Garn is an attractive country property that is thought to date c.1800s with later sympathetic extensions and reconfigurations from the c.1980s to c.2005. The property offers a comfortable home blending character features with modern touches. The layout of the property with two separate first floors also offers the potential to sub-divide to provide a self-contained annexe should one be needed. Indeed, the current owners have successfully let out part of the property as a separate holiday let in the past. For those that need an outdoor office or studio there is also an impressive purpose built building that makes for the ideal work or hobby space. The property enjoys large and pretty landscaped grounds and gardens that have been opened to visitors under the National Garden Scheme (“The Yellow Book”) that raises money for various charities. In all, the property extends to about 1.28 acres (stms – subject to measured survey).

Accommodation Ground Floor
The covered main entrance leads into a reception hall with a cloak room off and double doors opening into the dining room with servery hatch to the kitchen. Steps lead down to the large reception room that has a wood burning stove set in a stone fireplace providing a warm focal point. Double doors open from this room to the conservatory that looks across the gardens. Another doorway leads to the light garden room with beamed ceiling that also has a cosy wood burning stove, patio doors to the rear garden, a kitchenette and a utility room. A hallway leads off this room to a useful shower room with WC. This garden room area could make a comfortable self-contained annexe area and if required, use the separate first floor area above that has two bedrooms.

Returning back to the reception hall, the hallway leads off to the right to the smart main kitchen breakfast room with fitted base and wall cupboards, Belfast sink and space for appliances. A door leads off to the rear garden.

The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and overlooks the rear gardens while the second has velux windows. The other separate part of the first floor area is accessed by a staircase that rises up from the hallway by the garden room. This provides another two bedrooms that are perfect for friends and guests and overlook the front gardens.
