Seller Insight This tranquil lifestyle is balanced by the close proximity of historic Machynlleth. It is a vibrant town with a seven hundred years old market. There is an excellent primary school, and a pleasing selection of independent shops, cafes and restaurants. It has a busy cultural calendar, centred on The Tabernacle, a former chapel. An annual music and a comedy festival are only two of its many events. There is a challenging golf course and many biking and hiking trails. There is a good local bus service, and from the station there are trains to Birmingham International, Aberystwyth and Pwllheli. The farmhouse dates from the late sixteenth century and its original beams and exposed stone walls merge with modern comforts to create a home of immense warmth and welcome. Larry says the kitchen is the heart of the home and a great sociable space. The beams, warm brick, inglenook fireplace and comfy seating combine to make the perfect relaxing and entertaining area. Guests enjoy meals and conversation round the table, and it is always impossible to entice them away from its amiable surroundings, into the sitting room. The grand sitting room, with substantial inglenook is perfect for larger scale entertaining, and comes into its own each Christmas when decorated with festive greenery and sparkle; it takes on a wonderful Dickensian atmosphere. Olive comments that the study with its wood burner is perfect for winter comfort and TV viewing, and that she loves the feeling of safety and security the house provides. It has the sense of a permanent, happy sanctuary, which wraps around you. On a practical level the dry cellar with its even temperature is ideal for storing wine and the apple harvest. And the spacious utility room was once the dairy where calves were fed bottles of milk. Larry and Olive are very sad the time has come to downsize and know they are going to miss Glyntwymyn that has provided warmth in every sense of the word.

The present owners Larry and Olive discovered the house nineteen years ago, and have remained enchanted by it, and the incredible spectacle of the changing seasons. The vivid reds of autumn, a sparkling winter morning, or the fresh greens of springtime, provide a daily joy. There is always something new to watch, from a vixen playing with her cubs, to the kestrels and kites wheeling across the sky above them. Glyntwymyn is a very special property.

The annexe flat above the garage has been a holiday let, and is now ideal for overflow guests. This is a house which can easily accommodate and enjoys being full of people.

The garden is the jewel in the crown of this superb home. It is a place where you can sit and simply savour the perfection of the natural world around you. There have been barbecues, garden games, and many al fresco meals, but the true magic is when you settle on one of the sun terraces, look over the landscape and soak up the beauty.

Outside The property is approached via a private track, of which the vendors have a right of access over, leading on to the property s gravelled driveway and turning area which offers space and parking for several vehicles. A hedged border lines one side of the drive, with an opening giving access to a hidden rose garden with supreme privacy and panoramic views. Further gardens are to be found to the side and to the elevated area at the rear, with an elegant mixture of fruit bearing trees, mature plant life and a vegetable cage scattered amongst woodland and grassland. An attractive paved seating area offers yet another viewpoint of the rolling Welsh hills, positioning itself above a garden pond set with a back drop of diverse plant life. The annexe is set above a garage/car port allowing parking for two cars, with an external WC and a fantastic attached outbuilding (currently offering stables and a workshop) completing the grounds. Stables Two stable doors to front, side access door, lighting. Workshop Entrance door to front, power and lighting, range of shelving and work surfaces, door to rear leading to staircase rising to useful room above workshop.
