GALEDFFRWD MILL Lying in a wooded clearing above the banks of the river Ogwen, this elegant and substantial stone-built Villa, stands in approximately 4 acres of its own garden, pasture and woodland, offering peaceful seclusion with the reassurance that that the necessities of everyday life are only a stones throw away.

Having been constructed circa 1938, the property, which was formerly a watermill, has been extended, modernised and maintained to the highest possible standard by the present owners, while retaining a timeless façade.

In modernising the residence, the owners have somewhat uniquely incorporated many eco friendly principles by employing first rate insulation techniques and an advantageously positioned ´Ground Source Heat Pump´ powering both the underfloor central heating and domestic hot water, saving you up to 70% of the normal cost of this utility and yielding a much decreased carbon footprint. Additionally, a Rainwater Harvesting System has been installed. The property currently has a zero carbon footprint maintained by planting 4 trees annually.

The commodious accommodation, which also benefits from high quality pre-treated timber framed double glazing and a mixture of engineered oak and slate flooring, includes on the ground floor, an Entrance Hall, leading to a Utility Room and Wc at one end and a charming Dining Area at the opposite end, a spacious modern fitted Kitchen/Breakfast Room with a sizable adjoining Lounge and a spacious Sitting Room. The first floor offers 4 Double Bedrooms, of which both the master bedroom and bedroom 2 have En-Suite facilities, with the master bedroom also having the most delightful picture-windows and bedroom 2 having a walk-in wardrobe. The first floor is completed by a contemporary family Bathroom.

We believe that Galed Ffrwd presents an outstanding opportunity for anyone seeking a spacious family home or retreat in an idyllic rural setting, and therefore have no hesitation in recommending this property in the highest possible terms.
