Sellers Insight
“I moved to Llys Ifor in March 2016. Since then, the place has been a paradise of ever-changing landscapes, skyscapes, rainbows, mountain and sea views, backed by the sound of the river on the boundary. No two days are ever the same!
“We have created a wildlife haven with half an acre of mixed woodland, a pond and patches of shrubs which give cover for all sorts of birds.
“Renovating the cottage into a larger home and restoring the derelict barn into a holiday cottage was so rewarding, and landscaping the fields into a garden with access to the river for people to enjoy has been a constant source of delight.
“There is a magic to this area of north Wales, and it nurtures everyone who visits here. Living here and creating a space for wildlife and humans alike to enjoy has been a privilege. The community are warm and friendly and love the occasional get together for a good party and there is an active village group who meet monthly to discuss things to benefit the villages of Nebo and Nasareth. It is a special place to live.”
