17th Century Manor House | TALHENWA

Steeped in history and lying within a 75 acre exquisite estate, this stunning home is an exceptional Grade II 17th Century Manor house perfect for special occasions and large family gatherings.

On arrival the long drive winds through part of the estate giving glimpses of the grandeur that lies beyond. As the drive opens out it reveals the majestic imposing manor house and grounds with sweeping gardens leading down to the River Dwyfach, stone terraces, tennis court and large outdoor chess board. Children and adults alike will love exploring the grounds with 'The Quackery' with ducks, geese and, of course, the many resident peacocks, a Japanese water garden with stunning tea house where guests can enjoy relaxation treatments and therapies, many curios including a life size bear, traditional gypsy caravan, acres of footpath and, for the keen angler there a private salmon and trout fishing.

With the senses roused its grounds and exterior, the stunning interior with unrivalled splendour simply takes your breath away. From the period spacious entrance hall steps lead into a spectacular lounge with feature stone open fire place, decorative tiles floor, highly polished baby grand piano, beamed ceilings, traditional Georgian window and many antique pieces. Whilst the pure grandeur gives a sense Mr Darcy may sweep through the lounge at any point, it is also an easy to use, comfortable lounge; a perfect place for families and friends to gather and enjoy time together. A formal dining room again with exquisite period decor and stunning features lies on the ground floor alongside a snug, small modern kitchen, breakfast room with AGA, utility room and downstairs cloakroom. The fabulous staircase leads to more excitement and delight with 5 individually designed bedrooms; Bridal Suite, Lady Annabel Room, Peacock Room, Cromwell Room and Garden Room. Most notably is the Bridal Suite with fine oak panelling, a four poster bed with sumptuous mattress and a beautiful fireplace all teamed beautifully with a contemporary copper tone free standing bath. Each bedroom is impressive on its own and something to suit all personalities and preferences.

This elegant large holiday home lies at the heart of the Llyn Peninsula, just 2 miles from the pretty coastal town of Criccieth with its renowned castle and a little further to the market towns of Porthmadog and Pwllheli and within 15 miles of the seaside town of Nefyn, Llanbedrog and Abersoch.
