Property description
A character country house set in just under 1 acre offering flexible family accommodation, a potential building plot and a stone barn offering scope to convert into a separate residence with it's own driveway and south facing garden - (Subject to local authority approval). The property benefits from wonderful views south across open countryside to the spectacular Snowdonia mountain range. Llan Fawr at one time formed part of the Bulkeley Estate and in 1828, the principle residence was constructed by order of Sir Richard Williams Bulkeley as an addition to what is now the rear wing of the property, a former cottage reputed to date back to the 14th century. Our clients have upgraded and renovated the property to a high standard whilst sympathetically retaining the inherent character, the attractive stone facade and other unique features of the period. Please note that the layout with the two staircases provides the scope to adjust the accommodation to cater for extended family or as an annexe to generate a source of rental income.
