Set on an elevated 1.25-acre plot in Snowdonia National Park, this Grade II listed two-bedroom cottage offers sweeping views towards Dinorwig Slate Quarry, Dolbadarn Castle and Llyn Peris. The house has a traditional layout with an open-plan lounge/diner, kitchen, two double bedrooms and a single bathroom, arranged over a compact footprint of about 850 sq ft. A detached, adaptable outbuilding provides scope for a home office, hobby space or potential annexe, subject to necessary consents.
The property keeps strong period character: granite walls, stone features and a large, mature garden with a well and small pond. Practical benefits include off-street parking, double glazing and LPG central heating via a Worcester boiler. Broadband and mobile signal are reported as good, making remote work feasible despite the rural setting.
Notable limitations are material and legal. The Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate upgrades; the stone walls appear uninsulated so thermal improvements will be constrained and expensive. The EPC rating is F, reflecting poor energy efficiency and likely higher running costs on bottled LPG. The cottage is modest in size and layout, so buyers seeking large modern living spaces may find it limiting.
This home is best for someone seeking a character cottage with panoramic mountain views who accepts the realities of listed-property ownership: ongoing maintenance, careful planning for improvements, and an emphasis on conservation over wholesale modernization. It also has potential as a holiday/second home or a bespoke long-term residence for those who value privacy and landscape more than a turn-key finish.
