DESCRIPTION
Rhyd y Bod is a superbly restored Grade II listed Welsh stone farmhouse occupying an exceptional rural setting within the heart of Snowdonia National Park.

Sympathetically modernised and carefully maintained, the property successfully blends modern comforts with an abundance of original charm, character and period features. Complemented by a beautifully converted detached stone barn, extensive gardens, useful outbuildings and approximately 18.4 acres of pasture, meadow and riverside land, the property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly versatile country residence with income potential in a truly spectacular setting.

Rhyd y Bod provides spacious and versatile accommodation within the main house, together with a beautifully converted detached barn extending to approximately 1,279 square feet. The floor plan confirms a well-balanced arrangement with generous reception space and flexible ancillary accommodation. The farmhouse retains a wealth of period character throughout. On the ground floor are three charming reception rooms comprising a spacious sitting room, elegant dining room and cosy snug, each enjoying individual character and attractive outlooks across the surrounding countryside. The kitchen occupies the oldest section of the house and has been sympathetically improved to create an inviting and practical space for everyday living. A boot room and useful cellar utility room provide excellent support for rural family life.

The first floor is served by two staircases. The principal staircase leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms together with a substantial family bathroom featuring both a roll-top bath and separate shower. A secondary staircase rises to a particularly atmospheric fourth bedroom with vaulted ceiling and independent external access, making it ideal for guests, older children or home working. A ground floor shower room further enhances the flexibility of the accommodation.

The detached stone barn has been converted to an exemplary standard and provides exceptional secondary accommodation. The ground floor incorporates a spacious kitchen and dining room together with an en suite bedroom, whilst the first floor features a magnificent sitting room designed to maximise the far reaching views and a further en suite bedroom. The barn is ideally suited for multi-generational occupation, guest accommodation or continued holiday letting, subject to the existing permissions. A garage, workshop, field store and polytunnel provide excellent ancillary storage and practical working space.

GARDENS & GROUNDS
The property stands within approximately 18.4 acres of beautifully varied grounds comprising formal gardens, pasture paddocks, meadowland and areas of natural habitat. A particularly special feature is the Afon Twrch, which gently flows through the centre of the holding, creating a tranquil focal point and enhancing the property's natural appeal.

The grounds enjoy stunning views towards the Aran Fawddwy mountain range and provide excellent opportunities for walking, wildlife observation, fishing and general enjoyment of the surrounding landscape. Separate access arrangements and parking areas serving both the farmhouse and the barn promote privacy and flexibility of use. Useful outbuildings include a steel barn and an 8-metre polytunnel, offering excellent space for storage, gardening, livestock-related purposes or small-scale agricultural and sustainability projects.
