Hendre Hywel, Talwrn, Llangefni, Isle of Anglesey, LL77 7SB DESCRIPTION

Hendre Hywel stands majestically amidst the Anglesey countryside with its twin buttressed front elevation built from rugged quartz rich stone and wide timber doorway, providing a real mouth-watering flavour of its past heritage. A former farmhouse, this Grade II Listed residence oozes character and not just from the outside. The interior is a treat for those who love the anomalies and quirks that only an older property can deliver. This charming home offers spacious, comfortable accommodation which is presented to a high standard, a perfect blend of the old with the new. Hendre Hywel enjoys an easterly aspect in a slightly elevated position allowing for dramatic views over the Anglesey countryside towards the rugged Snowdonia mountain range on the mainland. You can see the entire Carneddau range and the Snowdon massif right the way down to the Lleyn Peninsula. The dwelling sits within some 2¼ acres of grounds, including a couple of paddocks - ideal for a pony or two should you wish - and generous gardens. The formal lawned gardens are well-defined within dry stone wall boundaries with established shrubs and one or two fruit trees. Indeed, the gardens provide ample space for youngsters to enjoy and adults too, with a sheltered seating area situated to the south side providing a nice spot to enjoy your favourite tipple on a lazy afternoon perhaps. There's ample private parking and a spacious detached garage.

Internally, you'll find two reception rooms each with its own unique appeal. The living room provides a stone inglenook fireplace complete with multi-fuel stove and a beamed ceiling - a cosy room no doubt on a cold winter’s night. The dining room also offers an inglenook, but this one you can stand up in! It's a great room for entertaining purposes or even just to enjoy meals with family and friends. The kitchen is fitted with good quality units and has a built-in inset hob, double oven and dishwasher. The curved staircase is sure to catch your eye with its rope banister and small window half way up, where you can sneak a peek at the countryside – it all adds up to a rewarding experience. The first floor is no less interesting with some impressive exposed floorboards to the principal bedroom, thick walls and deep window sills. The main bathroom is a modern affair yet in keeping with the character of the house, as is the recent additional shower room, providing clean contemporary lines that contrast well with the rest of the dwelling. From the landing there is a further flight of stairs to a fabulous attic room with an impressive pitched timber 'A' frame ceiling on full view. The west wing of the first floor could easily function as an entirely separate annexe. It has its own separate access, a living room/kitchenette and shower room. With windows to three aspects it's also a very pleasant space, and could be used as a consulting room for a professional wishing to work from home, or office facilities from where to run a business, without imposing on the main accommodation. It certainly adds flexibility and versatility to this fine country home.

LOCATION Whilst being in the countryside, Hendre Hywel is still only 2 miles from the centre of the bustling market town of Llangefni. This town is centrally positioned on the island and provides a number of useful amenities, services, shops and a large Asda supermarket. The town also has primary schools, a secondary school and further education facilities. On the outskirts of the town is a renowned art gallery that exhibits a number of permanent works and regularly hosts exhibitions for up-and-coming artists. The main A55 expressway lies just a short distance beyond, providing essential links between the mainland and the ferry port at Holyhead. The Isle of Anglesey has a number of attractions, foremost of which is the marvellous coastline with over 120 miles of coastal paths. Numerous beaches, hidden coves, dramatic cliffs, lighthouses and castles provide much interest whilst exploring the countryside, and if you fancy the challenge of tackling the peaks of Snowdonia, they're never far from sight and can easily be reached from the locality.

SERVICES We are informed by the seller that this property benefits from mains water and electricity, oil central heating and private drainage.

TENURE We have been informed the tenure is Freehold with vacant possession upon completion of sale

VENDOR INTERVIEW “I moved from Cambridgeshire to Anglesey nearly 11 years ago,” says Linda. “When I started house-hunting on Anglesey I had an image in my mind of an older, stone-built farmhouse in a countryside location with lovely views. As soon as I saw the tiny, grainy image of Hendre Hywel in the property pages of the Holyhead and Anglesey Mail, I knew that this could be the house for me and the first viewing confirmed that right away,” she continues. “The house has so much character and is in such a peaceful position, away from the road among fields and looking towards the mountains.” “The area was another aspect that first attracted me to the property, as I had heard from colleagues that Talwrn had a good sense of community, with its local shop (now a community shop) and village hall which provides a focus for local activities. Nearby Llangefni gave me all I needed in terms of basic amenities and the town of Menai Bridge has a Waitrose store. There are plenty of good places to eat around the Island, and arts-based events can be found in Beaumaris and at the excellent Ucheldre Centre in Holyhead.”
