BrynBRYN MAIR

The historic market town of Dolgellau is situated in the southern part of the picturesque Snowdonia National Park, at the foot of the beautiful Cader Idris mountain range. Bryn Mair, a former Georgian rectory, is a stunning property that occupies a prime, elevated position overlooking the pretty town and the glorious countryside beyond.

A substantial detached Georgian, Grade II Listed, house believed to be a former rectory, standing in an elevated position close to the heart of Dolgellau with commanding views over the town towards distant countryside. This stone built three storey house has been extensively updated and improved by the current owners to provide spacious, well-appointed accommodation with great flexibility with how it can be used. Currently run as a 5* Bed & Breakfast, the house would also lend itself to family living, with scope to create further accommodation in the detached coach house to the rear (subject to the necessary consents). The house is complemented by a large, partly walled garden with level lawn, large patio ideal for al fresco dining and a range of outbuildings. Situated close to the foot of Cader Idris, in Snowdonia National Park, which provides a variety of outdoor pursuits, yet the property is within walking distance of a range of amenities in Dolgellau. The seaside towns of Fairbourne and Barmouth are each about 10 miles away whilst Welshpool is approximately 40 miles to the East and Chester is about 60 miles to the North East. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate this fantastic property.

“When we moved here the house was in quite a tired state,” says Peter, “and I’d

say that it took us around two years to complete

the renovation. The actual fabric of the building

was good, but we had to do things such as

updating the bathrooms and the kitchen, the

entire property had to be rewired and we put

in a new central heating system. Other than

that it was purely cosmetic.” Bryn Mair is now a

beautifully presented home with a stylish interior

that fits perfectly with the character and sense of

history of the building.

“Because the house is so large and it’s just the two of us here, we have been running it as a B&B for the past few years,” says Jan, “and the business is absolutely thriving. We

have actually won the Visit Wales Gold Award for the past three years. However, without having to make any changes to the layout it would also be the most wonderful family home, and there’s even the

potential to convert the top floor into a self contained annex, should one so desire.”

“The house is set into the hillside,” says Jan, “so the main garden is actually level with the top floor of the house, and because of this elevated

position the views are absolutely out of this world.“
