Vendor Insight

How long have you owned the property?

We bought it in September 2014, so we ve now lived at Tyddyn Afon for more than ten years.

What attracted you to this specific house and location?

The view! We always wanted to live in the Conwy valley as it s such a stunning area. When we first came down the lane and arrived at the property, the incredible view over the Conwy river took our breath away. It takes a broad sweep around the property below the fields and with the imposing Caerneddau mountains as a backdrop must be one of the best views in Britain many visitors have said the same! . The vista constantly changes as the tide comes and goes, and the day ends with blazing sunsets over the river. Every room in the house enjoys the panorama and the elevated view from the studio above the house is truly awe inspiring.

What would you like to tell parents about the benefits of raising children here?

It s the perfect place to immerse kids in nature and allow them to set free their inner explorer. There are plenty of places to make dens, wide open fields to run through and find butterflies and bugs, and a public footpath nearby goes down to the banks of the river Conwy. The lane to the house is very quiet and safe ideal for walking your dog in the morning and the stables and fields allow you to keep horses or other livestock, like the herd of Highland cows we ve raised here.

What can you tell us about the history of the property and how it has been adapted since you ve owned it?

Originally belonging to the nearby Bodnant Estate, the farm was purchased in the 1970s and the house was converted from a traditional stone barn into a pottery studio, where pots were once thrown in the main room. Later, the studios were converted into the house that we took on.



We ve ploughed a lot of time and love into the property, expanding it and turning it into the house we love. As well as replacing windows and part of the slate roof and installing solar panels , we ve added a conservatory at the back, the sunroom at the front to immerse ourselves in the glorious view whatever the weather , and reconfigured both bathrooms upstairs and down. We ve also completely renovated and redesigned the courtyard, adding covered seating areas, a pizza oven fantastic for parties , raised beds for growing vegetables, and a huge bespoke greenhouse which soaks up the sun brilliant for growing tomatoes, cucumbers and even banana plants! . We ve also added much more land to the property, including two pastures that have spectacular views, ideal for keeping horses or other livestock. Alongside the new hay barn, we ve transformed part of the stable block into a unique studio office the perfect place to work, relax or entertain.



We ve also transformed one of the fields into a wildflower meadow. Now ten years old, it hums with life and is full of butterflies, bees and beetles. Our honeybees gather honey from the riot of flowers, including many orchids, and it provides excellent hay and grazing for our Highland cattle.

Who do you think would be the ideal next owner?

Tyddyn Afon is all about the outdoors and living the good life. If you ve ever wanted a smallholding with land to keep horses or livestock then this is the ideal place, just with spectacular views thrown in! The courtyard garden and greenhouse provide salads and vegetables, and there are wonderful mature apple, pear and damson trees. You could keep chickens and bees if you wish, and there are large fields and footpaths around for long dog walks.



It s the absolutely perfect place for keeping horses, with ten acres of land, a hay barn and stables, and ample workshop and stores for all the equipment.

What s your favourite room and why?

It has to be the large kitchen diner, the heart of the house with its incredible cruck oak beams, modern Scandinavian log burner, Falcon range cooker and breathtaking views. Large, light and airy, you seem to be floating above the river valley. We ve gathered the family here on many occasions, from Christmases to summer parties, and it s the place that holds the most memories for us.

Memorable remarkable event?

We ve celebrated special birthdays by lighting up the pizza oven in the courtyard and getting friends and family to create and cook their own pizzas, picking herbs and salads from the raised beds. There s a wonderful flow from the kitchen diner into the courtyard, which we decorate with bunting and lights to create a Mediterranean feel late into the night.

What do you love about the house the most now?

The studio is a very special place. It sits on a bank at the back of the house a secret hideaway in the trees and the terrace along the front is a wonderful spot to chill in the evening sun with a glass of wine listening to the birdsong. Inside the studio it s cool and calm, a great place to read, work or just zone out for a while.

What do you love about the local community?

Like many rural communities, everyone helps everyone else. If you need a hand moving livestock, fixing a fence, borrowing a piece of equipment or looking after your dog for a while, someone will help. Spare eggs, honey, vegetables and fruit are shared, and it s a great feeling.



Despite being in the heart of the countryside, we re only a few minutes away from the wonderful Medieval town of Conwy with its magnificent castle, independent shops, restaurants and caf s. And nearby are Llandudno and Chester, so you feel rural without being isolated.

What you ll miss most?

The view! It s just spellbinding. Some mornings, a thick mist hangs over the river and you can watch it moving down the valley towards the sea. In winter, there s almost always snow on the mountains, especially the highest peaks. Some afternoons there s a luminous light, as if the air is softened by moisture in the air. And then there are the truly spectacular sunsets, with colours you wouldn t believe.
