Description

Pen y Bont Bach is a charming coastal property which occupies a magnificent position overlooking Red Wharf Bay. Originally a much smaller cottage with outbuildings, the property has been carefully remodeled and extended in recent years by the present owner to provide a wonderful detached home, designed with modern everyday living in mind, and to take full advantage of the private and secluded site, along with the stunning aspect over the bay. The layout is spacious and highly adaptable, suitable for a variety of different uses, be that as a permanent home, second home or as an investment property for letting from which to derive an income.

The property has stone and part rendered elevations beneath a slate roof, and is relatively efficient to run following completion of the renovation works, having ground source under floor heating and double glazing. An attractive open fronted porch with two store rooms opens to the hall which in turn has access to the rear garden and terrace. There are 4 bedrooms served by 2 shower rooms, the master suite being particularly spacious and with dressing area. The main day to day living pace is an open plan arrangement, with large kitchen/breakfast room with plenty of space for table and chairs and double aspect to the front and rear gardens. Tgis has an arch opening into a lovely sitting room with vaulted ceiling, woodburner and also double aspect. The kitchen has an extensive range of wall and floor units with cupboards and drawers beneath polished granite surfaces. There is an electric range cooker, integrated dishwasher, and sink with mixer and fabulous views. There is also a useful utility off the kitchen providing further excellent storage.

History

The area has a rich history and is a wonderfully unspoilt part of Anglesey. Much of the surrounding land is owned by a long-standing country estate, and is an AONB, and the overall feel of the setting is one of tranquility and calm. The area also has links to some famous names, including the renowned artist, Kyffin Williams, who painted many of Anglesey Landscapes including the historic stone bridge which one has to cross to access Pen y Bont Bach, and Maurice Wilks, the British engineer who designed the Land Rover Defender, traced an outline in the sand at Red Wharf Bay in front of Pen y Bont Bach of what was to become one of the greatest of all vehicles, and such an iconic design. Wilks’ family owned a property locally and Red Wharf Bay has since been synonymous with the Land Rover history, which has held many events over the years to remember the design’s roots.

Location

Pen y Bont Bach occupies a spectacular and picturesque location towards the end of a no-through lane overlooking with frontage to Red Wharf Bay. Situated in the southern corner of the bay the house enjoys a secluded immediate position with a fantastic aspect across the sands and water towards Red Wharf Bay itself and out to sea. Indeed, seldom do properties enjoy such a peaceful setting with direct access from the garden to the foreshore which provides superb walking at low water and opportunities for sailing, fishing, and general marine activities at high water.

On the recreational front Anglesey is renowned for its scenic coastline with numerous sandy beaches, and miles of walking inland and along the coastal path. For those interested in sailing and boating the waters around Anglesey provide impressive cruising with its interesting coastline, and there are several sailing clubs on the island notably the Royal Anglesey Yacht Club in the popular town of Beaumaris (4 miles) and anchorage at Holyhead and marina at Deganwy on the mainland. There are a number of golf courses and shoots nearby, motor racing at Ty Croes and riding stables at Tal-y-Foel.
