Detached House for sale with 6 bedrooms, Barmouth, LL42

A Victorian lodge reimagined in glass and light, above the mouth of the Mawddach Estuary. Set high above the point where the Mawddach Estuary meets Cardigan Bay, Coes Faen Lodge is a Victorian home reborn. Glass, light and craftsmanship have been woven through 19th-century Welsh stone, creating a residence of rare character between the peaks of Eryri and the Cadair Idris range. The Lodge's story begins around 1865, when the railway reached Abermaw and the fishing and shipbuilding town grew into a Victorian resort. Its neighbour, The Clock House, with its landmark clock tower, was built by the Lowe brothers, and the Lodge worked hand in hand with it. The Lodge was the estate's working heart: the coachman, housekeeper and maid lived here, alongside the horses that drew the family carriage. A tunnel connected the two buildings. That tunnel survives today, now softly lit, a quiet link to the house's past. Its restoration began in 2017 and took five years: two of design and three of building. The result pairs original architecture with generous space, glass and technology, with close attention to environmental impact. Today it is a luxury private home of real warmth, ready for its next chapter. A striking entrance to the home, formed beneath a full glass roof that floods the space with natural light. Designed as a living indoor garden, the atrium combines exposed natural stone with contemporary glazing, immediately introducing the blend of original character and modern design found throughout Coes Faen Lodge.

A Smeg multi-function electric induction range provides a practical centrepiece, while the kitchen bar is positioned to take advantage of wonderful views across the Mawddach Estuary. An inviting and intimate reception room with a relaxed Scandinavian influence. Heatmiser-controlled underfloor heating is complemented by a substantial Firebelly wood-burning stove, creating a warm and comfortable retreat. The stove is cleverly positioned within a shared wall, allowing it to also provide warmth to the adjoining dining area.
