Pwllygele Mawr is a delightful and beautifully positioned two-bedroom detached home, set within approximately 0.5 acres in a peaceful semi-rural location with breathtaking views towards the Cader Idris mountain range. The current owners have undertaken an extensive programme of improvements, transforming the property into a comfortable home.

While further enhancement would allow the next owners to maximise the property's full potential, there is scope to reconfigure or extend the kitchen and mezzanine to create additional bedroom accommodation, subject to any necessary consents. Proposed plans have already been prepared, presenting an exciting opportunity for purchasers to add value while tailoring the home to their own requirements. The architects drawings will be provided to the new owner.

Rich in character, the property retains many of its original features, including a magnificent inglenook fireplace, exposed timber beams, and an impressive A-frame design, all of which contribute to its unique charm. Recent improvements by the vendors include electrical upgrades, the installation of a new bathroom suite, and a range of internal works. Further works will be required by a new owner and the property has been priced accordingly.

Externally, the property has benefited from significant investment, including the installation of a fully operational private water supply with a high-capacity holding tank and filtration system, together with the installation of new drains. The driveway has been widened to accommodate larger vehicles with ease, while an expanded parking area at the top of the drive provides generous off-road parking and enhances the property's accessibility.

The grounds are a particular highlight, with the home occupying a central position within mature gardens that surround the property. A pathway leads through the gardens to an open lawn and the main entrance, while several seating areas provide the perfect places to relax and enjoy the spectacular views across to the Cader Idris mountain range. The grounds also include a substantial polytunnel, ideal for keen gardeners or those looking to embrace a more self-sufficient lifestyle.

Pwllygele Mawr is expected to appeal to a wide range of buyers, particularly those seeking a peaceful countryside retreat with the opportunity to further enhance a characterful home and complete further works that are required. It is also likely to attract local purchasers looking to exchange town living for the tranquillity and space of a rural setting.

The accommodation briefly comprises an entrance hall/sitting room featuring a striking inglenook fireplace, boot room, study/snug, kitchen with mezzanine above, first-floor landing, two double bedrooms, and a well-appointed family bathroom.

Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the property's character, setting, and outstanding potential.
