Maen Hir is believed to date from the latter half of the 19th century and is a fine example of Victorian architecture. It has a particularly attractive front façade, including a principle gable and high chimney stacks. The property is constructed predominantly of rubble stone with some brick to its rear elevate, beneath a slate roof which has been overhauled in recent years. Indeed, during the present owners’ tenure since 2021 the house has been subject to certain alterations and improvements, including re-placement of many parts of the roof slates, double gazed bespoke windows, and the external render has been removed.
Accordingly, whilst a scheme of works has started, certain items require further completion to fully renovate the building, notably new render and some replastering internally along with redecoration. The kitchen and bathroom fitments were upgraded by previous owners, and were done to a high standard at the time, but there is scope to update fitments as required, notably the kitchen area if one were to extend that part of the building - planning permission for a single storey side extension to the kitchen was granted in 2021, which would make for a wonderful open plan kitchen and everyday living space.
Maen Hir provides spacious and superbly proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors ideally suited to family living or perhaps a party wishing to downsize from a larger country house who wishes to retain a rural environment and modest acreage. In addition is a wine cellar which also accommodates the oil fired boiler (not presently in use). The house has retained plenty of period character with high ceilings, open fireplaces and the newly fitted sash windows, and outside, the outbuildings were also renovated 15 years or so ago as was the walled garden which, along with the woodland and field in front of the house, provide for a wonderful, mature setting with magnificent views towards Snowdonia.
From the front door and vestibule a glazed door opens into the entrance hall which is L-shaped and has a turned staircase leading to the first floor. The three reception rooms are all accessed off the hall and have open aspect across the grounds, notably the drawing and dining rooms which span the full width of the front of the house and enjoy the view towards Snowdonia. Both rooms have open fireplaces and the sitting room has a woodburner. To the rear is the kitchen which has a range of hand painted wall and floor units incorporating cupboards and drawers beneath polished granite work surfaces, a Falcon cooker with double oven, grill and 5 ring gas hob beneath extractor, twin Belfast style sink with drainer, Miele dishwasher, integrated fridge and wine rack. There is a door to outside and plenty of space for a table and chairs. At first floor level the accommodation is as comprehensive with 4 double bedrooms, one of which has a large dressing room off or 5th bedroom, and 3 bath/shower rooms, one of which is en-suite to the master bedroom. The W.C in the family bathroom is not functional. Maen Hir occupies a private and slightly elevated position
