Location

Glyn Garth Cottage occupies a spectacular location on the east coast of Anglesey, set on Glyngarth overlooking the Menai Strait and Snowdonia, which is widely regarded as one of the most sought after areas locally where properties are rarely offered for sale. It has wonderful views across the water to Bangor Pier and the mountains, as well as having direct access to the beach and the sea at high tide.

The property is situated approximately half way between Menai Bridge and Beaumaris, both of which offer a range of local services for everyday needs including shops, pubs, restaurants, doctors and dentists surgeries and schools. Beaumaris has particularly attractive architecture and is also home to the Royal Anglesey Yacht Club.

Schooling is well provided for with primary schools in Menai Bridge, Llandegfan and Beaumaris, secondary schools in Menai Bridge and Bangor, and independent schooling at Trefos near Pentraeth and Rydal at Colwyn Bay. There is also the King’s and Queen’s in Chester. On the recreational front the waters around Anglesey and North Wales offer great boating and sailing, and there are marinas at Bangor, Caernarfon, Deganwy and Conwy as well as moorings available in the Menai Strait immediately opposite the property, at Beaumaris and Menai Bridge. There are several golf courses locally, including at Henllys, and excellent walking in Snowdonia and around the Anglesey Coastal Path.

Communications

Glyn Garth Cottage is well placed for travel being within approximately 5 miles from the A55 expressway which provides fast access across the North Wales coast to Cheshire and links with the national motorway network. For travel further afield there is an inter-city rail service from Bangor to London Euston via Crewe and a daily ferry service from Holyhead to Dun Laoghaire. There are international airports in both Liverpool and Manchester and private airfields at Caernarfon and Hawarden close to Chester.

Description

Glyn Garth Cottage is a wonderful period property, which has been a lovely home having been in the same ownership for over 40 years. It occupies one of the finest coastal locations in Anglesey overlooking the Menai Strait and with lovely landscaped gardens to the side of the house. Built to take full advantage of the elevated site, Glyn Garth Cottage faces south east with the majority of the rooms enjoying a lovely open aspect across the water to Snowdonia, and with panoramic views, including towards the Menai Suspension Bridge.

The house dates from the middle of the 1830's albeit has been extended over the years, and the accommodation is now well proportioned, spacious and highly adaptable, arranged over two floors. The rear of the house overlooking the water has a particularly interesting and picturesque façade with wisteria creeper and framed by mature trees and bushes.There are two formal reception rooms which both directly overlook the flagged patio against the backdrop of the straits and mountains, and the drawing room, in particular, is an elegant room with bay window and fireplace. The kitchen has been well fitted and has plenty of storage, and space for a table and chairs, also with direct access to the dining room. Beyond is the snug and utility room, and a flight of steps leads to the garage and another door to the front of the house at road level.

The first floor is just as spacious with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Owing to the topography of the site, the first floor is at road level, and it is thought that where there is now an attractive arched window there was once a front door, which could be re-installed if required.

Outside

The property is approached from the road through a gate and along a path which leads down to the side of the house and main gardens. These have been carefully landscaped and maintained over the years, and provide a secluded and mature setting with a high wall running the length of a long lawn from which are spectacular views. There are several mature flowering trees and shrubs including magnolia, along with a patio and summerhouse.

To the seaward side of the house is a further patio providing a lovely outdoor seating area, and steps which lead down to a lower level with garden room. A further flight of steps winds its way down to the foreshore. Having this beach access is a fantastic and rare amenity.

At road level there is a parking area for at least two cars, more if one double parks subject to the size of the vehicles, and access from here into the integral garage.
