Property description

Originally built as a rectory, in the late 1880s,
Brynffynnon is an exquisite Victorian detached
property with glorious Welsh views. A home
of immense sophistication located within
Dolgellau, this elegant home has flexible
accommodation across four floors. The
property has been sympathetically restored and
refurbished to an extremely high specification,
featuring high ceilings, restored joinery, period
fireplaces and refurbished sash windows
resulting in a beautifully presented period home
of immense quality.

The wide front door is under an imposing and
ornate carved porch and opens to the hallway.
This magnificent reception hall features a
carved oak Art Nouveau fireplace with over
mantle, ornate cornicing, deep period skirting
boards and doorframes as well as a Welsh
oak parquet floor. The elegant and light filled
drawing room is at the heart of this period home
with a painted, carved fireplace with mirrored
over mantle, deep bay window with garden
views, carved chair rail and ornate cornicing.
The library, historically the ‘Parsons’ Parlour’,
is a versatile room facing the front and could
be utilised as a study or further sitting room.
Perfect for formal entertaining the capacious
dining room has ceiling cornice, a painted,
period fireplace, courtesy door to the servants'

passage with easy access to the kitchen and a
deep sash window with garden views.

Opening from the hallway is the servants'
passage with secondary staircase to the upper
floors. The family sitting room faces to the
west and features bespoke cupboards and high
ceilings making this a charming sitting room.
Close to the dining room door the spacious
breakfast kitchen has been fitted with industrial
style units in stainless steel set under oak work
surfaces, with space for a range cooker, and
windows to two sides.

The boot room, utility room, W.C, shower room
and cellar completes the ground and lower
ground floor accommodation.

An attractive and wide turned oak staircase
leads to the first floor landing with breath-taking
stained glass window. The superbly spacious
principal bedroom has windows to two sides
and a painted, carved fireplace with mirrored
over mantle. The en suite to this room comprises
a bath with shower over complemented with
an antique washstand with contemporary glass

bath in the bedroom. A walk in linen store and

To the second floor the accommodation has
been reconfigured. A door opens to a vestibule
with doors leading to two double bedrooms
both facing the front. A further door leads to a
bathroom that has been fitted with a shower and bath. The third bedroom suite on this floor,
converted from the Victorian nurseries, has a
large bedroom, a charming feature fireplace
with carved over mantle and views across to the
Welsh hills. The large bathroom, converted from

and secondary schooling, a tertiary college, a

listed iron gates, leading to a large tarmacadam
courtyard in front of the house with stone steps,
alms gate and a terrace area facing the Welsh
hills. The main garden has been attractively
landscaped with a circular lawned area planted
with a wide variety of shrubs and trees. To the
