Situated in an idyllic location with panoramic views overlooking the Aberdovey Estuary and extending towards the sea, Braich Y Celyn Hall is a property of significant historical and architectural distinction. Nestled within approximately five acres of meticulously landscaped grounds, this elegant residence seamlessly blends four centuries of history with modern convienence. Originally constructed as a two-storey farmhouse around 400 years ago, the estate has undergone thoughtful extensions and renovations, including a third floor added during the Regency Era and an additional wing during the Victorian period. The result is a versatile residence in immaculate condition that offers a unique blend of classic and contemporary features. Upon entry, one is greeted by a magnificent galleried hall that serves as a grand focal point, granting access to the various rooms on the ground floor. The kitchen and open-plan sitting room, located in one wing of the house, enjoy a triple aspect that allows for an extraordinary influx of natural light. Dual French windows frame a log-burning stove, offering splendid views over the gardens and the Aberdovey Estuary beyond. The dining room further enhances the connection to the exterior via its own set of French doors. A cast-iron fireplace, complemented by two arched recesses, provides a classic centerpiece. Similarly, the drawing room is optimally designed to offer breathtaking vistas over the estate’s grounds and the estuary, complemented by a distinguished fireplace and three sets of French doors leading out. The lower ground floor is home to a capacious games room, a wine cellar, and a game larder. The primary stairway ascends to the first floor, which hosts the master and second bedroom suites—both of which boast spectacular coastal views and en-suite bathrooms. High ceilings and fitted wardrobes contribute to the overall sense of luxurious comfort. An additional room on this floor, currently employed as an office, also enjoys the property’s iconic views. The second floor accommodates three more bedrooms, one of which includes an en-suite shower room and a small kitchen—making it ideally suited for staff or as a self-contained annex. A family bathroom serves the remaining two bedrooms. The estate's extensive grounds, adorned with a variety of specimen shrubs and trees, offer not only aesthetic appeal but also functional spaces, including ample parking and two large garages.

Aberdyfi is a small seaside village founded in 1800 on the north side of the Dyfi estuary in southern Snowdonia. It is where the river Dyfi meets the green-blue waters of Cardigan Bay. Aberdyfi is one of those simple, seductive little resorts that hits the right spot. All the ingredients are here – a golden beach, crabbing and fishing from the quayside, yachts in the bay and views across the estuary to admire. Quaint old streets rise up to spectacular viewpoints whilst in the heart of the village you can enjoy browsing in specialist boutiques and art galleries or dine in exceptional inns and restaurants. Or you can simply sit in this idyllic setting and relax. The village was founded around the shipbuilding industry and boasts a number of excellent beaches and a championship golf club. The first ever outward bound centre opened in Aberdyfi in 1941 and the town continues to have a strong yacht club and is a haven for water sports enthusiasts. You don't need to travel too far from Aberdyfi to find a different world - that of spectacular mountain and valley scenery. The peaks of the Cadair Idris and Aran Fawddwy ranges are within easy reach and are complimented by the charm of the Dovey and Dysynni valleys nearby. An ideal area for walkers, climbers and wildlife watchers. Vendor Interview: We decided to buy Braich Y Celyn Hall after looking at many houses. This house has been built in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. They certainly new about building in the right location, and will be still standing here in another three hundred years. The Hall has a warm, relaxing and cosy feel throughout, which is nestled into the land and provides commanding views of the Dyfi Estuary; through many of the rooms. We are often able to sit out late into the summer evening, and relax watching the Red Kites, Buzzards and circling on the thermals above us. Not to be out done Merlin our dog has the owls to keep a watchful eye. We liked that the garden was a blank canvas and so now we have been able to structure the garden with specimen trees i.e. Liriodendron Tulipifera, flowering for the first time in 15 years with Acers, Magnolias and Camellia.

Nestled within beautiful, undulating countryside north of Cardiff this renovated dream home offers an idyllic pocket of peace, hidden away on a dead-end lane. The sprawling, stylish home occupies an enviable location, commutable to the capital yet surrounded by easily accessed, stunning countryside bursting with woodland walks, bike and horse trails, and a popular local pub for refreshments along the way. Through the gates reveals a collection of former farm buildings clustered around a private and characterful courtyard. Pushing open the front door of the main house reveals a stylish and contemporary country home offering impressive high-end, luxury design throughout that includes a designer kitchen by Loxleys London. The main house offers four substantial bedroom suites that ooze luxury, with opulent bathrooms and generous spaces that can accommodate lounge areas too. Outside, the grounds of approximately 0.85 acres are surrounded by stunning and sweeping rural views and multiple places to entertain family and friends, or find solitaire and silence in the shade under a tree. There's ample parking for multiple vehicles which is a big bonus as this rural retreat comes with surely the best party facilities in the area within one of the converted barns that is bound to attract regular visits from family and friends. The party barn includes a lounge bar that feels like you've just arrived at an exclusive country club, plus an impressive home cinema, spa that includes a sauna, steam room and a gym, a games room that can easily accommodate a full-size snooker table, plus a kitchen, so it's not too far to cook up a feast or find some snacks for guests. Step Inside:- - Step inside the former farmhouse within this cluster of incredible buildings and a glamorous and contemporary home awaits, having been lavished with a high-end renovation that has established luxury at its core. The first impression is a breathtaking one, with ground floor dividing walls and separate reception rooms a distant memory, as these former spaces have been combined and given a truly modern makeover. Stepping into this now open-plan space you can see through to the garden via picture windows and French doors and this, coupled with layers of thoughtfully designed lighting including hidden LEDs and shiny surfaces that bounce light around, makes the space feel very light, fresh and contemporary. The central staircase is a thing of beauty; a bespoke glass structure that sweeps its way to the first floor with a flourish. The flooring choice is contemporary too, high shine tiling that flows throughout the whole ground floor, unifying the space. To one side of the stunning staircase is a spacious dining zone that is the perfect place for a lively and enjoyable dinner party or family gathering, with ample space for a substantial dining table and the benefit of a set of French doors to throw open in the summer so the party can seamlessly spill out into the garden. The other side of the staircase is another zone focussed on socialising - a lounge area where two massive sofas effortlessly curve around the attractive feature fireplace, with visually pleasing symmetry achieved via a large floor-to-ceiling window either side of the flames. It's a space where winter months are warmed by the fire and summer time sees sunshine and garden views flood in through the picture windows, it's a space that will always be popular for gatherings, whatever the time of day or year. A more intimate reception space awaits off this impressive open-plan area, but it can still happily welcome a huge, squishy sofa for family and friends to sink into together, plus its own set of French doors so garden views and summer breezes can join the group gathering. There's a study at the rear of the house on the way to find the kitchen and it is a perfect place for work, with built-in carpentry promoting perfect organisation of work, and there's even space for yet another good sized sofa. Into the kitchen and the luxury fixtures and fittings continue with the discovery of a high-end, Edwin Loxley of London designer kitchen packed with integrated appliances and connected to the dining area via a set of steps. The cook can be joined for a chat and maybe a few taste tests either at the integrated island unit breakfast bar or in the dining area that includes a sizeable wine fridge. With the bifold doors open in the warmer weather, it's the perfect kitchen diner to cook up a feast connected directly and seamlessly to the garden. Additional accommodation on the ground floor includes a utility space and cloakroom, before the stunning glass staircase beckons so the journey of discovery can continue upstairs. The house used to have six bedrooms but with the remodelling of the home came the creative idea to sacrifice two in order to design four fabulous, spacious and distinct bedroom suites. In three of the bedroom suites the ceilings have been removed to create double-height, vaulted spaces full of charm, with the primary boasting exposed roof beams adding character to this substantial space. The ensuite to this largest of the bedrooms is, of course, glamorous and luxurious - and huge. It is an ensuite that is pure pleasure to visit either for a relaxing soak or refreshing shower, and this five-star hotel standard is repeated in the family bathroom where the bath commands most attention thanks to its size and position on an elevated pli.. It feels so luxurious to step up and then step down into the bath and, if accompanied by bubbles, candles and a glass of something refreshing, is a sumptuous experience that can be enjoyed every day at this property and not just when staying at a posh country hotel. Two of the suites have mezzanine bedroom areas with their own staircase which allows space below for lounge areas and even a semi open-plan ensuite as part of the floorplan. But the main house is not the only area of the property that has received a thoughtful and impressive renovation and conversion, one of the barns nestled around the courtyard has been given a new lease of life as surely the best party barn in the area. The barn is so well-equipped there is no need to ever leave the property for entertainment and fun. For the ultimate group fun the main section of the barn is currently dedicated to a games area that can easily accommodate a full-size snooker table and arcade games. Inside this amazing barn there's an impressive home cinema, complete with big, squishy chairs and dimmed lighting that conjures up a magical and intimate atmosphere as the perfect setting for the audience to be totally immersed in the movie. The barn has its own kitchen too, so it's not far to go to drum up some snacks in time for the film or the start of the match. Also found within the barn, that seems bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside, is a sizeable gym with a wall of mirrors to assist the workout, and after a hard session the spa area looks very welcoming, offering a sauna, steam room, walk-in shower and room for a massage table. The perfect end to the health and spa session is surely a cool drink waiting at the bar. As all good country clubs can boast, this private version has an inviting lounge bar area, nestled under the exposed roof beams on a mezzanine level, creating an intimate atmosphere to this most sociable of spaces. Outside - Step outside to explore the 0.85 acres of land that sweeps around the property before it seamlessly flows into panoramic rural views that expand to the horizon. Behind the gates, off the dead-end lane shared only with one other property that is also a bridleway, there's plenty of onsite parking for all the guests that are sure to turn up regularly to attend memorable events in the party barn. The lawns are extensive and expansive, lined by trees and hedgerows and offering the perfect place for outdoor games, football matches, and sun-drenched picnics, but the property can offer more intimate spaces too. There are house-hugging patios and courtyards that cluster around the house all boasting special and enticing places to admire the view, enjoy company with family and friends, and tuck into an alfresco feast. Within the grounds is a bonus that not many homes can offer - a characterful stone building called Long Barn that already has planning in place to be converted into a four-bed dream home, offering onsite multi-generational living if required. The vendors also advise that there is also the potential for 2 one bed, suites (with sitting room/kitchen bathroom and balcony) above the parking for five vehicles. This additional potential to create an extra dream home (with its own title deed) is being sold separately to the main property for Guide Price £375,000. With permission, the newly finessed barn could even be rented out as a holiday let to make the most of the property's perfect location, close to the capital of Wales and yet feeling like a world away, surrounded by a rolling rural landscape with onsite socialising and relaxation at the heart of this unique luxury home.

Called Pentwyn House, the five-bedroom property is thought to date back to the 1600s at its core and can impress with a wealth of period charm through the ages, from feature fireplaces to wall panelling, flagstone flooring and ceiling beams.

The house is nestled into the undulating landscape on the edge of the village of Pentyrch, just a few miles north of Cardiff.

SELLER'S INSIGHT:- - When we first moved here over 20 years ago, we had a local historian come to tell us about the intriguing history of the house, say the current owners of Pentwyn House. The original building consisted of what is now the Hall, dating back to the late 15th or early 16th century, with a later Victorian extension. We have further extended the house with the addition of an orangery, and put our own stamp on the property with stunning new interiors which complement the many original features retained: flagstone flooring, oak beams, Delft tile fireplaces, and metalwork from the time of the Spanish Armada, to name but a few. Though the rooms are large, the house feels cosy and welcoming, continues the owner. Every room is completely different, with the perfect blend of contemporary and traditional. To create a sense of continuity, we added oak panelling throughout the ground floor. This enhances the easy flow from the porch, through the hall and into the kitchen, towards which everyone tends to gravitate. The kitchen really is the hub of the home, and is my favourite part of the house, with bespoke curved Chalon units and a unique colour palette and layout designed to our own specifications. Another special room is the playroom, which has hand-painted murals designed according to themes chosen by my children when they were younger. New room - As well as being an incredible family home, this is also a fantastic party house, the owner says. We have hosted countless functions and celebrations here, the most recent being my daughter's wedding reception, with 100 people in the house and garden. Indeed, the multi-level garden serves as an extension of the indoor living accommodation, with an easy flow between the kitchen and sunny patio area for summer entertaining, plenty of grassy areas for children to run around, as well as a terraced fruit and vegetable patch so we can serve up our own fresh produce to family and friends. The annex and games room are fantastic too, providing both guest accommodation and plenty of fun for the whole family with its full-size snooker table, dartboard and table tennis table. The whole property is full of memories and lots of love, and we shall miss it dearly. The location of the property has much to recommend it, too, says the owner, being part of a friendly village community surrounded by beautiful countryside, yet within just a few miles of the city centre. A small lane leads from our house to the village for everyday amenities such as a GP surgery, pharmacy, grocery store, hairdresser, and a primary school and nursery highly rated by Ofsted. Within 5 miles are well-regarded secondary schools, too. Outside - Step outside into the most idyllic of gardens, with layers of lawns and terraces that wrap around the house, cocooning it in a myriad of mature foliage and far-reaching, breathtaking rural views, enjoyed to the maximum from this home's elevated position. A sun-drenched terrace hugs the house, easily enticing you out to relax on a lounger with a book and feel truly connected to the landscaped gardens that seamlessly roll into the rural vista that stretches out to the horizon. There's ample space on this pretty patio for a number of sizeable alfresco dining areas to enjoy memorable moments sharing a meal with family and friends, accompanied by laughter and chat long into the evening. There's plenty of space for guests to park too, after being totally captivated by travelling through one of the two gated entrances and being greeted by this welcoming abode. Wander down the stone steps onto the immaculate front lawns to play games or even add a swimming pool, or meander to the side of the house to find a charming, sunken patio area and more extensive lawns and mature shrubbery. The outside space is practical as well as pretty, with a bonus caged yard area for dogs, complete with outdoor shower tap providing warm water to wash the countryside off your four-legged friends, and there's likely to be a lot of it as this is a prime dog walking countryside location. Nestled within these glorious grounds are two attractive detached stone barns that offer potential. The larger of this delightful duo has been partly converted on the first floor to create a cute dwelling consisting of a kitchen lounge, bedroom and shower room that leads directly into a well-used games room that is home to a full-size billiards table and football table. It's not surprising to discover that it is a very popular place for socialising and is currently well-used by the younger generation when they return to the family home for a visit. The ground floor is currently unconverted, home to four stables, three storerooms and a double garage. Both barns offer the potential to be converted into further accommodation, subject to planning consent, and could even become a source of income if transformed into holiday lets, because who wouldn't want to come and stay at this tranquil property, surrounded by views to mesmerise and gorgeous countryside, yet so close to the capital. Nearby there are also twenty acres of pastureland and eight acres of woodland available by separate negotiation.
