This mid-terrace stone cottage in Blaenau Ffestiniog offers genuine period character, extensive mountain views and flexible accommodation across four floors. The house retains original features such as an open fireplace and stone lintels, while benefitting from mains gas central heating and double glazing. A long rear lawn garden increases usable outdoor space despite the property’s generally small plot footprint.
Internally the layout includes a spacious lounge, kitchen/diner, three bedrooms and a large bathroom, plus a substantial basement split into two rooms and a garden store — useful for hobby space, storage or conversion (subject to checks). The home suits buyers seeking a character property with scope for sympathetic modernisation rather than a turnkey finish.
Notable practical points: the property was built before 1900 and external stone walls are assumed uninsulated, so upgrading thermal performance may be desirable. The house sits in a very deprived local area within Snowdonia National Park; broadband speeds are average but mobile signal is excellent. Council tax costs are very low. Overall this is a value-priced, well-located period cottage for a family or buyer prepared to invest in improvement works.
