The impressive home of Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, the inspirational creator of the Italianate village Portmeirion in North Wales, is now for sale.

Clough’s former home, called Mardir, was built by the renowed and highly regarded architect in 1926 and still retains many of its original features including fireplaces, coving and picture rails.

It was the current owner’s attention to detail and insistence that features be retained during the recent restoration that has led to the property’s Grade II listed status in 2010 according to British Listed Buildings.

Mardir is situated near Porthmadog and has 0.9 acres of beautiful and peaceful garden with stunning views overlooking the Dwyryd Estuary and Rhinog mountain range beyond.

Over the past few years the property has undergone an extensive yet sympathetic restoration which has, of course, been architecturally led to ensure that the strong influence of Clough’s classical work was retained, restored and continued within the new extension.

The restoration project included all the unseen but vital work that the property required, including roof insulation, damp course, rewiring and re-plumbing where needed and new central heating. In fact, the home now has three separate boilers so that the heat in all parts of the spacious property can be regulated. That’s attention to detail.

The new wing of the house contains a large living room making the most of the spectacular views. The substantial feature slate fireplace houses an impressive multi-fuel log burner that will keep the large room cosy and warm when needed.

This large reception area is now perfect for entertaining, holding dinner parties or just relaxing in front of the fire. It’s an addition that makes this historic home now ideal for modern living.

The room leads into the spacious new contemporary kitchen, so even the cook can join in with the conversation.

Luxury features of the new kitchen include granite work surfaces, American white oak flooring and under floor heating that is found throughout the new wing.

The new extension continues on the first floor with a very spacious master-suite that includes an en-suite bathroom and numerous views to admire through many windows – fabulous.

In total the property has five bedrooms to choose from, three of which are en-suite, plus a family bathroom.

Just when you think that this amazing property can’t give any more, it has the potential to provide the new owners with an income.

The extensive renovation project included the attached former surgery wing too.

This two bedroom annexe could become a productive holiday let subject to the correct permissions, or a granny annexe for families looking for multi-generational living (or somewhere to put any noisy family members).

The site has an impressive parking area and double garage as well as the annex, but nothing gets in the way of the priceless view.

However, the view does have a price as it comes with the former home of Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, which is on the market for £995,000 with Fine Country.
