3 Bed Detached House, Single Let, Caernarfon, LL55 4NE £650,000

Three bedrooms reside on the first floor which is essentially split in two half’s with a dedicated staircase to the main bedroom and a further staircase to the remaining two. All three are well-proportioned with the main bedroom enjoying modern en-suite facilities. The two other bedrooms are served by a decent sized fully tiled bathroom. Attached to the main dwelling is a useful outbuilding/store with a slate flagged floor and fitted power/light. The property comes fitted with full uPVC double glazing and LPG fired central heating.

Ty Hen is approached via its own private driveway with the provision of plentiful off road parking. As previously mentioned, a large barn resides to the rear and comes fitted with power/light, water supply with Belfast sink and has a concreted floor. This undoubtedly offers several permutations depending on your desires – it’s perfect for storage purposes for sure but could even function as a low-key wedding venue or perhaps even made into a habitable dwelling (subject to the usual planning consents and National Park approvals).

The land essentially consists of large lawned gardens which encompass the dwelling and several large paddocks/enclosures, two of which border the riverside. The land could serve in a number of capacities - there’s the easy route of using the land for general grazing of livestock with possibilities for increasing tree cover and general environmental diversity or even scope to develop the land for business use with the addition of glamping pods or suchlike – again, as with any venture located within the National Park, consultation and advice would be required from the existing representative bodies.

The village of Beddgelert is situated just under 1½ miles distant, a village that provides local amenities and includes pubs, restaurants, craft shops, convenience store, ice cream parlour and primary school. The larger settlements of Betws-y-Coed, Porthmadog and Caernarfon are all within about half an hour's drive, give or take. Beddgelert is always bustling with visitors (especially in summer), many of whom take a break from travelling on the Welsh Highland Railway between Caernarfon and Porthmadog. North Wales offers countless tourist attractions and facilities: two hugely entertaining zip wire rides, an underground trampoline park, numerous events (cycling, running etc.), mountain bike courses and excellent climbing facilities not to mention the castles and historic monuments. Yr Wyddfa itself attracts some 600,000 walkers a year and film crews often frequent the area to take advantage of the exceptional landscape.

Of course, you're never far from the coastline either and what a diverse coastline it is. Cliffs give way to estuaries to miles of sandy beaches, enabling the full enjoyment of coastal walks, watersports and much more besides. From here you have a choice of shopping destinations with secondary schools, supermarkets and leisure facilities being located in Porthmadog or Caernarfon with excellent transport connections beyond Caernarfon by way of the A55 expressway. This allows easy access to the university city of Bangor, the sea port of Holyhead (daily sailings to Ireland) and the northern coastal towns, resorts and associated attractions.
