Creigle Penmon Dafydd Hardy Coast & Country Creigle Oh the joys of the open countryside on the beautiful Isle of Anglesey– residing in a particularly alluring corner of this pleasant island, Creigle sits tucked away along a private track, one of just two exclusive properties formerly of Tyddyn Grugor Farm. This immaculate and charming home stands within extensive garden grounds and adjoining paddock from where there are exquisite views of the sea with just a hint of Ynys Seiriol (Puffin Island) off Penmon Point, providing a haven from the stresses of modern life - enjoy the good life out in the countryside and immerse yourself in these green and pleasant surroundings! The gardens are exceptional, certainly displaying a determination and love on behalf of the present owners, providing an undoubted haven for natural fauna and home to an eclectic variety of flora, of which we'll touch on later – one things for sure, youngsters will be able to enjoy the outdoors as much as the grown-ups. Creigle is essentially a three storey residence built into the side of a small limestone outcrop, having been enlarged in recent years with the addition of a further two story extension, providing comfortable and highly practical family sized accommodation. The newer section is clad in cedar with narrow windows to mimic its former barn origins. The property offers a nice blend of original character and modernity, so you can go about daily life with minimal fuss whilst enjoying the charm that only an older property can truly provide. Creigle is complemented by a private gated driveway and double garage, straddled either side of which is a useful utility and general store, so if you need that little bit of extra storage space or a work area to fettle your motoring pride and joy, Creigle has got it covered. The impeccable interior has a slightly unconventional layout with the principal lounge on the first floor – with it being split- level, you can walk straight out onto the upper levelled garden to the rear! Just off the hall, you'll find a contemporary shower room and then you're greeted to a marvellous kitchen that's ideal come mealtimes with a rather grand yet modern four oven electric AGA range taking centre stage. The snug provides a little quiet space for reading or studying purposes. The lounge on the first floor features a pitched ceiling and brick built fireplace housing a large multi-fuel stove. The stove has a back-boiler which complements the main oil fired central heating (effectively a dual system). In addition, is an extensive roof-top PV (photo voltaic) installation which provide free electricity, keeping those household bills to a minimum. There are two bedrooms on the first floor, the master with dressing room and en-suite with a further two bedrooms within the roof space. Of course, the en-suite and main bathroom feature clean modern suites. The principal garden runs in line with the main dwelling and is purposely formal in its arrangement with a symmetry of a country estate with box hedging and an array of trees, plants and shrubs to provide texture and colour throughout the seasons. There's a 12' greenhouse, well stocked raised vegetable plots, soft fruit trees and orchard. Located to the rear of the property is a large lawned garden (with separate vehicular access) with a well shielded border of mature trees and shrubs. There's also an additional store located on this level – handy for gardening tools and machinery. From here you can access the spacious lawned paddock which has recently been planted with blossom trees. The property is situated along a private track just off a country lane on the periphery of Llangoed (roughly ¾ mile), bordering open countryside and within easy reach of local amenities (with Post Office) and primary school. Situated within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there are fabulous walks to be enjoyed from the vicinity with Penmon lighthouse to the east and National Trust coastline to the north. The picturesque coastline is just a short drive away and Llangoed is roughly 3 miles distant from the centre of Beaumaris, its promenade, pier and castle. This picturesque and popular town is located on the banks of the Menai Strait situated in the south easterly corner of the island and is home to the last Edwardian castle built in Wales. The town is steeped in history and home to an interesting mixture of Medieval, Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian architecture with quaint streets, independent shops, taverns and restaurants. The area provides a great spot for fishing and sailing and there are also 2 golf courses on offer while breath-taking views of the dramatic mountains of Snowdonia can be enjoyed from the promenade and Victorian pier. With plenty of fine beaches and coves in the vicinity together with excellent road links and great places to shop (Menai Bridge is roughly 7 miles distant with the university city of Bangor just beyond over the Thomas Telfod bridge), the area could be just what you are looking for.
