Outside
Accessed from Nant y Glyn Road, and via electrically operated wrought iron gates with intercom, the Tarmac driveway sweeps to the house and provides parking for several vehicles. From this area there is access to the metal workshop/second garage with power, personnel door and roller shutter door. The drive, lined with stone walls and carriage lights, splits into two and the lower level leads to the basement of the house where the double garage, workshop and boiler room can be found. Externally, at this lower level is additional parking, the chalet and a path leading to the rear of the cottage. The path is bordered by a wild flower meadow and winds around to incorporate the woodlands, meadows and revealing a pergola, a greenhouse and a potting shed. There is a fruit cage with gooseberries and black, red and white berries and an orchard with various varieties of apple and pears, plums, damsons and cherries. Totalling almost three acres, the gardens are expertly stocked with an abundance of mature shrubs and trees. Scots Pine, Monterey Cypress, Copper Beech, Silver Birch, Lebanon Cedar, Camellia and Magnolia are all beautifully positioned alongside Rhododendrons, Azeleas, Pieris, Hydrangeas, Lavender, Bluebells, Acers and a collection of Conifers, all providing a magical wildlife haven. Extensive lawns lie beside paved patios and pathways and a raised pond with waterfall sits in a sheltered position. Such a tranquil setting, with the valley stretching into the distance, one could easily be forgiven for feeling remote, yet the property is just a short distance from busy Colwyn Bay/Old Colwyn, the promenade, beach and an excellent variety of shops and amenities.
