This stunning property on the banks of the Mawddach Estuary has a fascinating history. In the 1970s it featured in Country Life and in the 1980s Princess Anne was a guest.
This 19th Century period stone house, with up to six bedrooms, has grounds spreading over nearly 36 acres, a self-contained flat and its own quay. On sale through Strutt & Parker estate agents, the property called Glan Y Mawddach is on the market for a cool £2.5m.
Dating from the 1820s, it was extended at the turn of the 20th Century by its then owners Mr and Mrs Keithley who also laid out beautiful gardens. In the early 1940s the property was purchased by Sir and Lady Clayton-Russon who installed large glasshouses and the orangery.

Country Life magazine featured the house and garden in 1975 with the Princess Royal dining at the house during an official visit to Barmouth in 1987. In the 2000s the house and gardens were prudently restored.

Currently there is a first floor library, or potential sixth bedroom, with staggering estuary views. And there's a self-contained one-bedroom flat with a side garden (ideal for staff/nanny/relative/teenage use).
It's perhaps worth mentioning that there is a public footpath - called The Panorama Walk - running across the land. It's bordered by a tall stone wall offering privacy.
