5 bedroom house

Location location location. It is incredibly rare to offer for sale a property with all three elements! In the first instance, a detached residence situated above Menai Bridge, located within six acres of its own grounds. Secondly, a location providing walking distance access to the town centre and finally, a location providing views of the Menai Strait, Snowdonia and down the coast to Conwy Mountain and beyond.

Set across two floors, this property is substantial. The current owners use the top floor, but with the addition of a staircase, the lower floor could easily accommodate additional bedrooms and living space. Allowing 5 bedrooms, we estimate, in total, subject to the required permissions.

As you would expect, the property has been placed in such a position that the views to the front are as outstanding as could be imagined, and in fact the sloping ground provides views from the majority of the six acres.

The grounds are a delightful mix of grassland, woodland and water features. The property itself is situated at the end of a private drive with vehicle access to both levels of the building.

We can’t say this enough; the property is a rare instruction to come to the market and offers an abundance of scope for further development if required. Briefly, the current layout provides two reception rooms, study, kitchen, utility room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms to the upper ground floor with a further four main storerooms, and garage to the lower ground floor.

Outside
Whilst the views and scope for development from the property are a feature, the external aspects complement its appeal. Totalling approximately 6 acres, consisting of around 1 acre of driveway, parking, plot and gardens and around 5 acres of woodland and rolling fields. Ideal for those of you wanting to keep livestock, or perhaps enjoy the “good life”, in addition to providing ample space to relax and enjoy the views from the decked balcony areas or the natural features and peaceful setting around the pond.

Ynys Tobig

The island is accessible at lower tides on foot and is mainly rock and shrubbery. There are positions on the island that would allow for certain boats to land at higher tides.

Subject to the state of the tide we estimate there to be around 0.25 of an acre.

There is evidence that on the top of the island at one time there has been a bothy. This is a fantastic opportunity to own something special.

Menai Bridge is a town and community on the Isle of Anglesey in North-West Wales; overlooking the Menai Strait and lying by the Menai Suspension Bridge, built in 1826 by Thomas Telford, just over the water from Bangor. Main road access to the island is provided by the Britannia Bridge, built by Robert Stevenson, just a few minutes’ drive away. Linking into the main North Wales Coastal Highway (A55), providing access to England via Cheshire, with Liverpool and Manchester Airport in close proximity. Mainline rail to London is available from Bangor Station which is about 10 minutes by car and Holyhead on Anglesey provides regular ferry crossings too.
