Unique studio in Beaumaris, Anglesey.
The studio is very comfortable and light, it`s a self-contained space with two mezzanine bedrooms set in a lovely walled garden with its own private entrance.
It contains a comfy sitting area with a wood burning stove and fantastic mid century furniture. I have a big collection of books and on one mezzanine there is a TV with dvds ( i don`t watch tv just films). There`s a modern fully equipped kitchen and dining area with french doors into the garden and above the kitchen there is another bright and spacious mezzanine bedroom (which has massive windows above with blackout blinds, wonderful for just lying in bed staring up at the sky or watching the birds go by).
There is a separate ensuite wetroom with vanity area and washing machine. Lots of space in the garden for bikes, kayaks.
The studio is a fabulous place to stay in Beaumaris or as a base to travel from. It feels safe and tends to wrap itself around you, its unique (Its been a studio for decades, before that it was a welding workshop) and very comfy with full central heating.
The studio is my working space (I`m a writer and painter) and where I work. It contains all the facilities that you would expect in a self-contained house.
There are stairs going up to the mezzanine bedroom that won`t suit the elderly or disabled. I have included a photo for you to see.
The beach overlooking the straits and Snowdon range and outdoor cafes/pier are 5 minutes walk away from the property.
I have a motorhome which I am also prepared to also swap for the right property. I am not interested in large groups staying in the property. Diolch!
