For complete seclusion and freedom in a superb mountainside setting with breathtaking views across the Nantlle valley and lake, choose this very desirable detached 17th Century, stone cottage, comfortably modernised, but retaining much of the character of its past. Original oak and pine beams, a crogloft (ie. a traditional bedroom above part of the living quarters with steep stair), stone walling and large inglenook fireplace have all been carefully restored. Situated only 6ml from the harbour town of Caernarfon and 1/2ml from the rural hamlet of Y Fron . Outstanding lake and mountain views from most of the windows and the garden. Mountain moorland walks from the doorstep. Evidence of past quarrying is prevalent in this beautiful valley and now add to its dramatic landscape. 10 min. by car to the golden sandy beach at Dinas Dinlle, 20 mins to Snowdon. Pony trekking, climbing, steam trains, boat trips and even flying lessons are available locally.
