Glygyrog Ddu hill is situated close to the coastal village of Aberdyfi with stunning views over the Dyfi estuary.  Glygyrog Ddu hill extends to just over 90 acres, most of which has benefitted from ploughing and re-seeding during the last 15 years, to produce productive pastures to support both livestock grazing and fodder conservation.  Although traditionally used for agriculture, the land would also lend itself to diversification, including recreational and amenity uses.

I am so often asked how we differ from the online offering. My response is such that for tech savvy individuals the online option is attractive. Cost is a huge factor for many people however more often than not we see people who have paid and are having to pay again for a ‘true’ high street agent. The incentive for the online agent is building stock and their brand presence, their fees are paid up front so you question where is their motivation following taking your money to sell for you? They have been paid and listed your property – now what? Read More
