The Property Castell Gyrn is situated in a commanding position and affords magnificent panoramic views of the Clwyd valley and Snowdon beyond. The architect John Taylor built this exceptional property for himself in four phases which started in 1977 and finished in 1994, although one would imagine it belonged to the late 18th Century. Within the last 10 years the current owner has upgraded the interior and made further additions to include a new wing and garaging and today it provides immaculately presented accommodation with some state-ofthe-art touches. Panorama On the ground floor, there are two comfortable reception rooms both with impressive fireplaces and the dining room has beautiful oak panelling. Following through from the dining room is the library, beyond which is the drawing room, cinema room and en suite bedroom. The modern well-designed kitchen opens to a superb breakfast area which has a walk-in pantry, utility and butler s pantry. Accessed from the courtyard is a store room with under-floor heating and sink. The first floor offers a reception room with balcony, a study and an outstanding principal master bedroom suite which comprises a sitting area, dressing room and en suite bathroom. The whole of the second floor encompasses another stunning bedroom suite with dressing room and en suite bath/shower room. On the third floor there are a further two en suite bedrooms and a turned staircase within the stone tower takes you to the rooftop from which there are magnificent 360 degree views. There is planning consent for an extension to the rear to form family leisure facilities including an infinity swimming pool.

Outside The property is approached via wrought-iron gates of twisted metal just one of many artworks by well-known artist-craftsmen which are interspersed throughout the well-manicured grounds and act as eye-catchers reminiscent of any 18th century garden; worthy of mention is a dragon tree carving which actually breathes fire upon entering. There is a delightful and relaxing courtyard garden which sits approximately 1000 feet above sea level and has gravelled paths, flower beds and an attractive water feature. To the left of the entrance driveway is a wildlife pond. Also within the grounds on the crest of the hill stands a small palladian two bedroom house known as Panorama. It offers a living room, kitchen, bathroom and first floor mezzanine area which has the benefit of a balcony providing superb views. Conveniently, this property has its own driveway off the main road. The lodge is situated inside the gated walled courtyard and offers a reception room with wood-burner, kitchen and en suite bedroom with French doors opening onto a terrace area. The immaculate double garage with door through to a single garage and WC has a staircase which leads down to the basement.
