Cute One Bedroom Character Cottage with Sea Views | Yr-Hen-Efail

An absolutely stunning property not to be missed, Yr-Hen-Efail is a cute one bedroom character cottage with sea views located in the heart of Harlech. This beautiful converted blacksmith property is split over two levels, combining original stone walls, wood panelling and glazing to create a contemporary space with a Scandinavian vibe. In the style of a log cabin that wouldn't feel out of place in the heart of a Finnish forest, Yr-Hen-Efail instead provides amazing views across the coastline of Bae Ceredigion (Cardigan Bay) from the first floor mezzanine.

Enter off the lane through wooden gates into a secret garden where a double door opens into the ground floor open plan living space of the cottage. The double height area reaches up to the pitch of the roof, with a half glazed mezzanine creating a light, bright room. To the right, the kitchen area is compact but provides enough space for a couple to cook at home if required. A fridge, dishwasher and stainless steel cooker and hob sit alongside wooden panelled storage cupboards in the kitchen units. A panelled splashback features open shelving for crockery and pan storage, and the wooden worktop includes space for a microwave oven and kettle. A solid wooden butchers block sits alongside the kitchen, providing additional preparation space if required. A wooden panelled door next to the kitchen area leads into the cottage's bathroom with corner shower cubicle, basin with vanity unit under and a WC. White tiles feature behind the units, which contrast beautifully against the exposed stone wall to the remainder of the room.

Separating the kitchen from the lounge area, a chunky wooden square farmhouse table with four seats provides space to enjoy breakfast and dinner. With oak effect flooring throughout the ground floor, the lounge area of property provides a comfortable space to relax in the evenings. A wood burner sits in the corner of the room on a slate hearth, providing a cosy warm atmosphere. The lounge features a plush fabric purple sofa with cushions and a throw, sitting opposite a Mexican pine coffee table and smart TV on a side table.

A set of wooden stairs lead up to the mezzanine level of the cute one bedroom character cottage with sea views. The mezzanine floor is a stunning space that takes up more than half of the cottage footprint. Built into the pitched roof, the chunky wooden beams of the structure are exposed as a design feature and the roof is entirely clad in wood panelling, adding to the log cabin feel. To one end, a raised platform acts as a bedroom, featuring a comfy double bed, bedside cabinet and lamp. A sky light above the bed provides the opportunity to gaze up at the stars on a clear night. To the other end of the mezzanine with a glazed partition to one side, a cosy nook features two comfy lounge chairs and side table, with a picture window located centrally in the stone wall, providing views out to sea. The sand dunes of Harlech beach lead the view out to Cardigan Bay and the Llyn Peninsula beyond. A stunning view and great place to relax with a glass of wine and to watch a spectacular North Wales sunset.

A separate door from the lounge leads into the property's stunning garden space. Steps lead down to a gravelled patio area with bistro table and chairs, decorated with plant pots. A pathway leads to a lawn area beyond the patio, with stepping stones passing a small pond. The garden is a wonderful space to spend some quiet time outdoors on a sunny day or evening.
