A well-presented three-bedroom Victorian stone home in the heart of Llan Ffestiniog, ideal for families seeking village life inside Snowdonia National Park. The house keeps period character – stone facade, a cosy reception room with a stone-surround fireplace and an easy-to-maintain rear yard with a paved sitting area and powered shed.
Practical for everyday living: the property is freehold, on mains services, and benefits from double glazing (installed before 2002). Room layout includes three bedrooms plus an attic room, a separate dining area and a fitted kitchen with included appliances. Council Tax is low (Band A), which helps ongoing running costs in this very deprived local area.
Buyers should note clear limitations: heating is primarily by electric room heaters and an older gas-fired boiler is present; external walls are original granite with no assumed insulation; broadband speeds are slow. The house dates from before 1900 and, while well presented, may need further insulation or heating upgrades to improve energy performance.
Planning and use: because the home sits within Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park it qualifies under an Article 4 Directive — any change of use to a second home, short-term let or mixed use will require planning permission from the National Park Authority. For buyers who want a comfortable, characterful family home in a scenic village, this property offers immediate occupation with straightforward maintenance. For investors or holiday-let purchasers, factor in the additional planning requirement and possible retrofit costs for heating and insulation.
