Apartment 4, The Old Stables, Aberdovey is a beautifully presented first floor apartment converted from a former stable block, offering an open-plan living space filled with natural light. The fully fitted kitchen area features integrated appliances including an electric double oven, ceramic hob, and washer dryer, with fridge and freezer cleverly housed in the island unit. Relax in the adjoining living room on comfortable three-seater and two-seater sofas, watch the large Freesat TV, or gather around the round glass dining table for four to share a meal while soaking up panoramic estuary views through the picture window.
Step outside onto the large enclosed decking patio, where garden furniture and a gas barbecue invite lazy afternoons overlooking the Dyfi Estuary and hills beyond. The master bedroom offers flexible zip-and-link beds (super-king or twin) with built-in storage and its own TV, while bedroom two, off the living room, features a king-size bed and en-suite shower room. A further shower room sits adjacent to the master. Private parking for one car is provided, along with a free parking pass for Gwynedd long stay car parks.
Picture mornings spent watching the estuary shimmer below your window, coffee in hand on the private decking as the hills change colour with the light. Days drift between coastal walks and countryside exploration, dogs welcome at your side, before evenings settle into barbecue suppers and long views over the water as the sky softens into dusk.
