Gelli is a beautifully renovated 17th‑century stone cottage in the heart of Dolgellau, combining historic character with contemporary comforts. The house centres on a large lounge with an impressive inglenook fireplace (original ship’s timber lintel) and retains exposed beams and stone walls, while the bespoke kitchen and luxury bathroom deliver modern living standards. A bright sun room opens to a private rear courtyard and a small front terrace garden, giving outdoor space despite the compact plot.
Practical features include an integral garage with an electric roller door, on‑road parking immediately outside, gas central heating and double glazing. The property has been recently refurbished to a high standard and is currently run as a successful holiday let (registered for business rates), so it suits buyers seeking a ready-made income stream, a town centre home, or a holiday bolt‑hole in Snowdonia National Park.
Known negatives are factual: the cottage is a mid‑terrace, small‑plot property with stone walls that are likely uninsulated as originally constructed, and broadband speeds are average. The wider area records higher deprivation, which may be relevant for some buyers. Any proposals to alter or extend (for example restoring the former internal access to the garage) would need planning consent given the age and location of the building.
Overall this is a rare, characterful property offering generous internal proportions for its age (c.1630), immediate town‑centre convenience and clear short‑term rental potential, balanced by the realities of an older uninsulated stone building and a compact external footprint.
