4 bed detached house for sale

Glan Morfa, Ynyslas, Borth SY24

Set in an extraordinary semi-rural position on the edge of the Dyfi Estuary at Ynyslas, this is a home built around a way of life: One of space, light, self-sufficiency, and unbroken connection to one of Wales's most celebrated coastal landscapes.

The balcony elevates this already exceptional property to something truly rare. Step outside and the view opens dramatically across estuarine mudflats, sand dunes, and tidal water towards the hills behind Aberdyfi - a panorama that changes with every tide and every hour of the day. Few properties in West Wales offer anything comparable from a first-floor vantage point at this scale.

Approached by a private country lane that keeps the world comfortably at distance, Glan Morfa unfolds as a characterful cluster of stone-built accommodation set around a generous gravelled courtyard. The property extends to approximately 2,907 sq ft across the main house, with further scope to grow through conversion of existing outbuildings, subject to the necessary consents.

Glan Morfa is already equipped with solar panels - a meaningful start toward genuine energy independence that can be expanded further should a new owner wish to develop the property's renewable credentials. In an era of rising energy costs, this is a significant practical advantage as well as an environmental one.

There are properties that simply cannot be described in terms of square footage and bedroom counts - Glan Morfa is one of them.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to secure this special home in Ynyslas.

Viewing is strictly by appointment through Fine & Country West Wales. Given the nature of the location and the property itself, an accompanied viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate the full scope of what Glan Morfa offers - particularly the new balcony and the estuary views.
