Description

Doleglwys – A Captivating Country Residence of Timeless Grace and Character

Tucked away in the heart of rolling countryside, yet a whisper away from local amenities, Doleglwys is a beautifully restored period home exuding warmth, sophistication, and a sense of belonging. From its striking whitewashed façade framed by climbing greenery, to its welcoming front path and wrought iron gate, this property captures the romance of rural life while offering elegant, expansive living across three generous floors.

A Gracious First Impression - The symmetrical front elevation, with its two projecting bay windows and central pitched porch, suggests Georgian-inspired poise with Victorian charm. Encircled by lush hedges and mature trees, the home greets you with a sense of seclusion and serenity. A gated driveway leads alongside the house to a detached double garage, offering ample parking and storage - a rare and valuable asset for both family living and guests alike. Stepping through the traditional doorway, a world of refinement and modern comfort unfolds.

Ground Floor - Designed for Entertaining and Ease

The ground floor offers a harmonious balance of formal and relaxed living. Two handsome reception rooms sit either side of the hallway, both basking in natural light through large bay windows that frame verdant views and invite conversation or quiet reflection. Period fireplaces, original details, and high ceilings complete the picture of timeless grace. The heart of the home lies in the spacious kitchen and adjoining dining room - ideal for hosting family meals or weekend gatherings. Thoughtfully appointed, the kitchen blends classic styling with modern function, providing a seamless culinary experience. To the rear, a utility and cloakroom area provide practicality without compromising aesthetics.

First Floor – A Haven of Calm and Comfort

Ascending to the first floor, you'll find four beautifully appointed bedrooms, each echoing the home’s heritage with generous proportions and soft light. The principal bedrooms offer leafy views and a quietude perfect for restful nights. The family bathroom and separate WC serve this level with contemporary flair, discreetly integrated into the traditional layout.

Second Floor – Characterful Retreats

The top floor reveals a pair of charming bedrooms tucked beneath the eaves, full of character and tranquillity. Exposed beams and dormer windows give each room a unique personality, ideal as guest quarters, children's bedrooms, or creative studios. A second bathroom and a dedicated laundry room complete this floor, ensuring that practicality is never far from luxury.

The Setting – Rural Romance Meets Convenience

Surrounded by rolling fields and mature hedgerows, the grounds of Doleglwys are nothing short of enchanting. A winding path draws you into a lush, secluded garden, where vibrant borders bloom with perennial colour, and a graceful arch cloaked in cascading white wisteria offers a storybook entrance to nature's quiet embrace. Dotted with ornamental touches, established trees, and curated wildflower beds, the garden is both charmingly informal and carefully nurtured - a haven for pollinators and peaceful reflection alike. A hidden corner retreat, complete with ivy-clad timber structures and rustic textures, invites exploration or quiet reading under dappled shade. Whether you’re hanging fresh laundry in the summer breeze, planting in the raised beds, or sharing tea beneath the arbour, every inch of this green sanctuary feels like a secret well-kept. The driveway and detached double garage provide practical ease without disrupting the tranquillity of the space - blending functionality with timeless countryside appeal. This is more than a garden; it’s an immersive experience, a place that evolves with the seasons and soothes with every visit.

Doleglwys is more than just a house - it’s a sanctuary, a story, and a legacy waiting to be cherished. For those seeking elegance without pretension, and comfort with character, this remarkable residence offers the ideal blend of past and present.
