Modern Renovated Old Coach House in lovely grounds | Gwel-Y-Gest
A spacious and bright property, Gwel-y-Gest is a fabulous modern renovated old coach house in lovely grounds, situated near Porthmadog. With three bedrooms sleeping six, as well as two bathrooms, this lovely converted property is ideal for a coastal holiday in North Wales with good access to nearby towns and stunning beaches.
The main doorway into the property opens into a central kitchen area which is bright and airy, thanks to full height windows and a fully glazed doorway. With counters to both sides and an island return there is plenty of storage and prep space for self-caterers wanting to cook up hearty meals. A large freestanding fridge freezer sits next to kitchen units which are finished in bright white with wooden worktops. With an electric hob and built in oven, dishwasher and washing machine alongside a microwave, kettle and toaster, the kitchen is well equipped with a spacious layout. White floor tiles are laid throughout the space, and beyond the rear island counter a short corridor leads to the main family bathroom. The bathroom, simply finished in white, includes a bathtub with shower over, WC and basin.
From the kitchen, two steps lead up to a fabulous double height lounge diner. This wonderful socialising space is great to gather in the evenings to catch up on the day’s activities, or to congregate around the large glass dining table for a home cooked breakfast before setting out for the day. The lounge space includes a large leather sofa and two armchairs, finished in grey, located around a stylish oval glass coffee table. A Smart TV is located in the corner next to a small arched window, and the room also features full height windows and a door leading out onto a paved patio area. The pitched ceiling of this full height space adds character and charm, where in contrast, bright and bold artwork on the walls add modern touches.
To the opposite end of the modern renovated old coach house in lovely grounds, the ground floor bedroom of the property includes an en-suite shower room. A large divan bed with leather bedhead sits between two bedside tables and lamps, with a white chest of drawers located in the corner. A pattered bedspread and full length curtains add texture and colour to the room. A TV is mounted on the wall of the bedroom. The spacious en-suite is finished in white with a corner walk in shower cubicle alongside a WC and basin.
The two first floor bedrooms are accessed via two separate staircases, one from the hallway and the other from the lounge area. A set of open stairs lead up from the lounge into a large double room built into the eaves of Gwel-y-Gest. This wonderful airy space is decorated in muted earthy colours, with a bed located centrally against a feature wall flanked by bedside cabinets with table lamps. With a cosy nook housing a side chair, and ample clothes storage, the room is well lit by a large velux window allowing plenty of natural light to flood in. The second first floor bedroom, accessed via the hallway, is a sizeable twin room featuring two single beds, bedside cabinets and clothes storage. Once again, located in the eaves, the high ceilings provide a great sense of space.
Beyond the coach house, a short path leads up a slope to a second private garden area surrounded by mature trees and shrubs. From this delightful raised area there are impressive views across the Glaslyn Estuary in the direction of Portmeirion, with the picturesque village of Borth y Gest just glimpsed through the trees. A small decked area with picnic table and garden recliners offers a tranquil spot to relax and soak up the wonderful surrounding.
