Detached house for sale in Llanbedrog, Gwynedd LL53

An impressive 19th Century 8 bedroom / 8 bathroom Manor House set within its own established grounds of some 2 acres in a tranquil setting to the south coastal side of the glorious Lleyn Peninsula.

This stunning Tudor Gothic style Grade ll listed property was originally built around 1899 for the Welsh palaeographic expert and literary translater, John Gwenogfryn Evans (1852 – 1930). He retired to Llanbedrog and ran a printing press in Pwllheli. To his Brother’s unique personal reference, Penarwel House is built in Gimlet Granite from Pwllheli and is set principally on two floors with a turret extending to the third floor, brimming with character features and beautifully preserved by the current owner. It includes Dragon Finials on the roof and ornate designs on every apex, oak panelling runs throughout the ground floor interior and the drawing room in particular also features an oak panelled ceiling.
An entertaining room equipped with an authentic bar and log burning stove lies next to the traditional kitchen. A huge dining room is located down the hallway, estimated to sit 36 people. All the 8 bedrooms / 8 bathrooms (two master suites) lie to the first floor and into the turrett.
Adjoining the main house are 2 additional bedrooms with outer access.
The property is presently used as a private family home exquisitely maintained by the current owner, but offers alternative ventures subject to planning and historically it was run as a thriving Hotel/ Restaurant.
The picturesque and well tended grounds, amount to just over 2 acres, carefully landscaped over several decades, including several gravel pathways that lead through shrubs and a small wood next to the Manor.
To the rear boundary a high wall enclosure which previously housed an outdoor swimming pool and adjoining this there are useful stone outhouses/ workshops.
Penawel House is approached over a long shared driveway, off the main A499 Pwllheli – Abersoch Road and is convenient to the facilities of Llanbedrog Village, including the lovely beach and the Plas Glyn y Weddw Art Gallery/ Café.
