EXCEPTIONAL GRADE II LISTED RESIDENCE 

An exceptional Grade II listed residence, secluded in 11 acres of land, comprising of woodland, two acre garden with lawns, orchard, Victorian box hedging and a 5.5 acre paddock. Secluded in its own woodland, Plas Gelliwig has an enchanting and peaceful atmosphere. Steeped in history, it is regarded with affection locally. Over the past ten years the property and its garden have been the subject of sympathetic refurbishment by the current owners who have valued the many original features of the Plas, such as the slate fireplaces, the kitchen service bells, the cellar and its larder room, the butler’s pantry and the ornate arched and pillared sky-lit corridor known as the Moroccan Corridor.

Some rooms have yet to be renovated, including the large traditional kitchen. The Plas is approached by a sweeping drive through mature woodland and in spring is successively carpeted by snowdrops, daffodils, bluebells and ramsons (wild garlic). The grounds are interesting and unusual, a series of garden landscapes each with its own attractive quality, a partially walled garden, orchard, ‘homestead’ yard, terraced lawns, streams, small courtyard, field with mountain views and some very fine trees. The Coach house overlooking the homestead yard has a great deal of charm. It has recently been re-pointed and re-roofed. It was used as a dwelling until the late 1980’s and with the relevant planning permission could make an attractive addition to the living accommodation of the Plas.

Plas Gelliwig is situated approximately one mile from Botwnnog which has both comprehensive and primary schools and a health centre. The property is located in the popular recreational area of the Lleyn Peninsula with its fine blue flag beaches, golf courses, and unspoilt country walks in spectacular scenery. Pwllheli has a varied range of amenities, with an impressive 400 berth marina with 24 hours access and train links to Shrewsbury and beyond.

The popular village of Abersoch with its harbor and sandy beach, world renowned for its water sports is approximately four miles from the property. Excellent golfing facilities are available with 18 whole golf courses at Pwllheli, Abersoch and Morfa Nefyn (seven miles away on the north coast). The University City of Bangor, approximately 40 miles away offers a main line railway connection to Holyhead and London, and direct access to the A55 expressway which in turn provides links to Chester and the motorway network.
