A rare traditional Welsh smallholding set in the heart of Eryri, Bwlch Gwyn Uchaf combines genuine character with useful agricultural land. The detached three‑bed cottage sits amid about 2 acres of grazing pasture and a range of versatile outbuildings, offering immediate scope for hobby farming, equestrian use or a lifestyle change for those seeking seclusion and panoramic mountain views. The house retains original features such as exposed timber beams and natural slate roofing, with later UPVC windows and a functioning oil boiler.
Practical strengths include mains electricity, a private water supply, a productive vegetable plot with greenhouse, and several powered outbuildings (garage, workshop with water). The plot is mostly dry‑stone walled and fenced, with a small pond and public rights of way along the boundary. Parking is available off‑road beside the property and there is a manicured patio and front courtyard for sheltered outdoor sitting.
Buyers should note this is a remote, rural hamlet location inside Snowdonia National Park. Broadband speeds are very slow and the property uses oil-fired heating with a cesspool drainage system. The stone walls are likely uninsulated and no recent full building survey has been completed, so thermal performance and fabric maintenance (stonework, slate roof) should be checked. The dwelling sits outside the local development boundary and changes of use to second-home or short-term-let require planning permission under the Article 4 direction for the National Park.
This holding will suit purchasers who value landscape, privacy and usable land over urban convenience: hobby farmers, those seeking an authentic rural home, or buyers prepared to invest in upgrading services and fabric. The combination of substantial pasture, functional outbuildings and a character cottage presents practical potential and long‑term appeal within a protected landscape.
