Hafod Gau

Located on a family farm in a scenic valley, this impressive property offers a haven of tranquillity and plenty of entertainment for a family or group of friends close to Snowdonia and Cardigan Bay. The pretty village of Cemaes is a mile away, with a shop, cafe and pub, and there are further amenities in the market town of Machynlleth, including antiques shops, lifestyle stores and galleries. This property sits within the Dyfi Valley, which is recognised as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, with magical landscapes and nature, and lots of opportunities for walking, cycling and birdwatching. The Glyndwr's Way national trail passes directly through the farm, leading you to Machynlleth in one direction and all the way to Offa’s Dyke in the other. Follow the valley to Aberdyfi (18 miles) and you’ll find a pretty seaside resort with a sandy beach and lots of watersports.

This two-storey farmhouse has been beautifully renovated with original features including stone fireplaces and wooden beams, alongside contemporary comfort and style. The fully fitted kitchen/diner is modern and spacious, set beneath a beamed ceiling with a stylish dining table and chairs, while next door the lounge has a selection of comfortable seating, a large TV, and a stone fireplace with a wood burner for cosy nights in. There’s a utility room with storage for coats and shoes, a shower room, and a games room with a selection of table games and a piano. 2 sets of stairs lead up to the first floor, where you’ll find an upstairs lounge with a corner sofa and a picture window with stunning views of Cader Idris and the surrounding countryside. There are three elegant and welcoming bedrooms, a king-size, a super-king-size that can be converted to a twin, and a large single, plus a family bathroom.

Outside, there are ample grounds with a large tarmac area surrounding the property, plus an enclosed lawned garden with an in-ground trampoline, play den, slide and a patio with outdoor table and chairs.
