Property code: OC-BOW194
This stone-clad former outbuilding has been cleverly converted into an impressive studio property that’s a welcoming getaway for one or two people. Located in the village of Cerrigydrudion, it is surrounded by hills, mountains, lakes and open countryside, and less than 100m from a lovely local pub. If you have ever wanted to try a sled dog ride or husky hiking, now’s your chance, as Mynydd Sled Dog Adventures is just 2 miles away, while Llyn Brenig, a centre for walking, biking, sailing, fishing and more, is 4.5 miles. A 12-mile drive will take you to the magical Fairy Glen (Ffos Anoddun) with a challenging river walk and wild swimming.
Enter this inviting retreat down a flight of external stone steps and straight into the bespoke kitchen with its modern units, sleek tiling and breakfast bar with industrial-style stools. Here you have everything necessary for preparing all kinds of delicious meals. In fact, there are many clever ideas in this cottage, one of them being a specially commissioned wall map that illustrates all the great places to visit nearby, mounted in front of your dining area so you can peruse and discuss during your meals. A sliding, barn-style door separates the kitchen from the lounge, which is ingeniously designed to transform into a bedroom at night. Here, a comfortable sofa, with bookcases and lights either side, faces a TV and a flame-effect electric fire. The room is light and airy, thanks to the high ceilings with lovely, exposed beams, a glazed, high-level partition and a skylight window. When it’s time to turn in, simply close the motorised blind and, with one-handed operation, pull down the Italian-designed wall bed to reveal a king-size, memory foam mattress. A built-in oak dressing table and mirror, with a hanging rail and shelves for clothes, a storage area for luggage and a luxurious en-suite shower room complete the interior.
For enjoying warmer evenings in the fresh air, a delightful patio adjoins the cottage with a table, chairs and parasol. The piece de resistance? Tucked away down the stairs … your very own hot tub.
