The first thing you'll notice pulling up at this farmhouse is the thirty-five acres of private grounds – stunning greenery wraps around you, making it a fantastic option for those who love bringing their pets along with them for idyllic countryside walks. Just outside the home, there's a peaceful garden, complete with flourishing plant beds and a picnic bench from which to enjoy the peace and quiet of the North Walian countryside. Indoors, the mix of oak beam ceilings and slate floors gives a cosy, lived-in atmosphere, particularly at night with the log-burner in the inglenook fireplace roaring. Out the bedroom windows, there's a view of Cadair Idris, a mountain at the southern-most end of Snowdonia. This is rustic living at its most picturesque, a world away from the city, and you'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to rural pursuits. In the local area, there's everything from salmon fishing on the River Wnion to cycling the country roads to paying a visit to nearby Dolgellau for fresh produce from the farmers' market — just over an hour away on foot or eight minutes in the car. Venturing further afield, Snowdon sits an hour's drive to the north if you fancy a more demanding challenge.
