Glan y Gro is an immensely charming lakeside residence, beautifully positioned in an elevated and picturesque setting overlooking Lake Bala. Set within approximately five acres of grounds, the property enjoys an exceptional natural environment, featuring mature woodland, natural springs and the rare advantage of direct lake access. A private driveway leads from the road through established woodland to a parking area and double garage. From here, a bridge over the Bala Lake Steam Railway provides access to the main house, enhancing the sense of privacy and arrival. Currently operated as a successful six month season holiday let business, Glan y Gro also includes four self contained studio style holiday apartments; Tegid, Vyrnwy, Drysgol and Arenig. Each apartment comprises a one bedroom suite with its own balcony and uninterrupted views across the lake. The principal accommodation is arranged to maximise the outlook, with an open plan living and kitchen area opening onto a balcony above the water. The ground floor also includes a sitting area, dining room and a bedroom suite with a Jack and Jill bathroom. There is a double bedroom on the first floor with an ensuite shower room and additional storage space which would serve well as a teenagers bedroom. Gardens and Grounds Externally, the grounds are truly exceptional; peaceful, private and rich in wildlife, with panoramic views across the lake and mountains. The setting lends itself perfectly to water sports, wild swimming and lakeside relaxation, while a summer house is positioned to take full advantage of the remarkable outlook. The wider grounds include a parking area, woodland, a double garage with open fronted car port, an additional store room and an orchard planted with plum, apple and cherry trees. Dating from around 1967, Glan y Gro has been thoughtfully improved by the current owners, with significant enhancements made to both the apartments and the surrounding grounds. The result is a rare lakeside retreat offering outstanding lifestyle appeal, income potential and one of the most captivating settings within the Snowdonia National Park.
