Outside Externally, Gwen y Wawr has plenty to shout about. Firstly, we'd like to mention that the detached garage, affectionately known as 'The Sidings', indeed looks like a garage from the outside and could of course (with some modification) be utilised as such, yet offers the real potential to be converted into an annexe (subject to planning consents). It comes fully double glazed, is centrally heated, has an electricity supply and access to a substantial loft area, providing further scope. If you have a dependant relative or wish to generate additional income as a holiday let, this surely adds much appeal.

The gardens provide two distinct areas: On the north side is the driveway which provides ample private parking and extends to the eastern side with further parking provision. The main garden to the south side is where you'll no doubt spend most of your relaxation time. Here you'll find a wide paved patio/sun terrace which runs the entire length of the property, offering essential views of course but also somewhere for al-fresco dining and entertaining family and guests. Beyond the terrace lies a good sized lawn with shrubbery borders, a further slate gravelled seating area and greenhouse.
