Property Description

Maes Yr Helmau

The Main Residence
The characterful Grade II Listed main house, rich in history, forms the end section of a traditional stone-built longhouse, dating back to the early 17th century. Brimming with original features, the highlight is the stunning stone fireplace, which magnificently encases a log burner, adding warmth and charm to the home. The farmhouse-style kitchen perfectly complements the character of the property. Upstairs, the first floor showcases original beams and includes two double bedrooms, one of which features an en-suite shower room, along with a family bathroom.

Stable Cottage
Adjoining the main house is the quaint Stable Cottage, which offers a cozy sitting room, kitchen, bathroom, and two bedrooms. With the convenience of an internal door, this cottage could easily be integrated into the main residence, transforming it into a more expansive four-bedroom home for those needing additional accommodation.

The Barn Cottage
The Barn Cottage, currently used as a holiday rental, can accommodate 8 to 9 guests across its four bedrooms. Outside, the fenced garden area features a hot tub and a games room, making it a popular choice for larger groups seeking a relaxing and entertaining getaway.

The Old Wash Cottage
The Old Wash House Cottage is a detached stone-built home located opposite the main residence. Currently serving as another holiday cottage, it features three bedrooms sleeping up to 6 and includes a private garden, providing guests with a peaceful retreat.

The Pig Sty
The Pigsty, located near the menage, is a more recent addition to the complex, offering an open-plan kitchen and living space, a double bedroom, and a bathroom. Additionally, with outline planning permission already in place, the attic—already boarded and plastered—can be converted into two additional bedrooms, further enhancing the property's value and versatility.

Outside
Externally, the property is accessed via a private driveway flanked by your own paddocks on either side. This versatile estate spans just over 5 acres, making it ideal for those interested in keeping animals or horses. The property features modern stabling, a menage, and several fenced fields. Additionally, a large area of hardstanding outside the stables provides further potential for additional outbuildings if needed.

A standout feature is the detached summerhouse, which offers a unique view down the Wnion Valley. This space is perfect for working from home or enjoying a peaceful sunset with a glass of wine, seamlessly blending functionality with relaxation in a stunning natural setting.

Location
Nestled at the foothills of the majestic Cader Idris mountain range, this location is an idyllic haven for lovers of the great outdoors. Situated within the breathtaking landscapes of Snowdonia, it offers an abundance of hiking and biking trails, perfect for exploring the area's natural beauty.

Brithdir is a charming and popular village set in the picturesque Wnion Valley. The village features a day care nursery, a village hall, a tea room, and several walking trails, including the renowned 'Torrent Walk' footpath.
