Situation

Ty Llyn (Lake House) is a creative and well-actioned refurbishment of a squash court that was formerly part of Abbeycwmhir Hall. As its name suggests, the highly attractive house looks out over a nearby lake (not owned by the property) from several windows, and from the grounds.

It also looks over the the steeple of St Mary's Church in the beautiful village Abbeycwmhir which also has a well-used Community Centre and village pub.

The name Abbeycwmhir derives from the Cistercian monastery built there in 1143 and translates as Abbey in the long (hir) valley (cwm). Abbeycwmhir is allegedly the burial place of the last native Prince of Wales "Llewellyn the Last".

The village sits in the base of the valley and is surrounded by hills. Glyndwr's Way national walking trail and cycle route 25 pass through the village making it an ideal location for these activities.

The house is approached from the village, through stone pillars and cast iron gates, via a steep, turning, drive that follows the stone garden wall of the Elizabethan style Hall that was built in 1833.

Outside

The house is located in an intensely rural area and the extensive gardens and grounds extend to approximately half an acre (tbv) and surround the property. Behind the house there is parking and a turning space for several vehicles.

Immediately in front of the house are two lovely paved seating areas accessed from the Sun Room, ideal for a morning coffee or for al-fresco dining.

The grounds are laid mainly to lawn and are currently open to adjacent areas of woodland and they fall down to the lakeside.

Services

Mains electricity and water. Private drainage via septic tank. Oil-fired central heating.
