* Freehold
An impressive 19th Century 8 bedroom / 8 bathroom Manor House set within its
own established grounds of some 2 acres in a tranquil setting to the south
coastal side of the glorious Lleyn Peninsula.
This stunning Tudor Gothic style Grade 11 listed property was originally built
around 1899 for the Welsh palaeographic expert and literary translater, John
Gwenogfryn Evans (1852 – 1930). He retired to Llanbedrog and ran a printing
press in Pwllheli. To his Brother’s unique personal reference, Penarwel House
is built in Gimlet Granite from Pwllheli and is set principally on two floors
with a turret extending to the third floor, brimming with character features
and beautifully preserved by the current owner. It includes Dragon Finials on
the roof and ornate designs on every apex, oak panelling runs throughout the
ground floor interior and the drawing room in particular also features an oak
panelled ceiling.
An entertaining room equipped with an authentic bar and log burning stove lies
next to the traditional kitchen. A huge dining room is located down the
hallway, estimated to sit 36 people. All the 8 bedrooms / 8 bathrooms (two
master suites) lie to the first floor and into the turrett.
A self contained 2 bedroom cottage is also attached to the main building and
has its own access.
The property is presently used as a private family home exquisitely maintained
by the current owner, but offers alternative ventures subject to planning and
historically it was run as a thriving Hotel/ Restaurant.
The picturesque and well tended grounds, amount to just over 2 acres,
carefully landscaped over several decades, including several gravel pathways
that lead through shrubs and a small wood next to the Manor.
To the rear boundary a high wall enclosure which previously housed an outdoor
swimming pool and adjoining this there are useful stone outhouses/ workshops.
Penawel House is approached over a long shared driveway, off the main A499
Pwllheli – Abersoch Road and is convenient to the facilities of Llanbedrog
Village, including the lovely beach and the Plas Glyn y Weddw Art Gallery/
Café.
