Property description
Gorffwysfa is a handsome late Victorian townhouse with magnificent, panoramic views over Harlech Castle and the Lleyn Peninsula. Built in the late 19th century, it was originally the Temperance Hotel, and it retains many charming features throughout. It also benefits from double glazing, three woodburners, stripped floor boards, new laminate flooring and a new boiler. The current owners have successfully blended the age and charm of the building with contemporary styling, and the large, manicured garden only adds to the appeal. In addition, there is an outbuilding with potential to turn into additional accommodation.
Internal viewing is a must, to appreciate this property and all that it has to offer!
Exceptional location - the property is a 15 minute walk from the blue flag Harlech beach, the house commands spectacular views of Royal St David's golf course to the front and to the sides the World Heritage Harlech Castle and the sweeping panorama of the sand dunes of Morfa Harlech. Gorffwysfa is a wonderful tranquil coastal home.
Harlech boasts a magnificent cliff top castle and cultural centre, together with numerous artisan shops, cafes and restaurants. Harlech's pretty stone houses and shops along the high street offer a unique opportunity to live in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Snowdonia National Park. The Cambrian Coastline railway provides excellent links to nearby towns including Porthmadog and Barmouth with regular services to the Midlands and beyond.
