This compact mid-terrace stone cottage offers a move-in ready option for a first-time buyer seeking character and low running costs. The ground-floor living space feels warm and welcoming, with slate floors, exposed beams and a stone fireplace housing a multi-fuel stove. Two double-glazed bedrooms and a modern tiled shower room sit on the first floor; mains gas boiler and radiators provide conventional heating.
Externally the property sits directly to the pavement with a small forecourt and an enclosed rear garden suitable for entertaining or private use. The location on the outskirts of Blaenau Ffestiniog gives easy walking access to local shops, schools and services, with attractive views towards the Moelwyn range. Fast broadband and very low council tax band support economical day-to-day living.
Notable constraints are factual: the plot is small with limited external amenity and on-street parking only. An Article 4 Direction from Cyngor Gwynedd means planning consent is required to change the dwelling to a second home or short-term holiday let — this restricts buy-to-let holiday uses. The property lies in a very deprived local area with average crime levels; buyers should consider local context when valuing long-term resale or rental prospects.
The house is chain-free and structurally appears typical of post-war terraced cottages, with filled cavity walls and later-installed double glazing. EPC shown as D; some buyers may choose cosmetic or energy upgrades to improve comfort and value. Overall this is a practical, characterful starter home with realistic scope for internal modernisation rather than large-scale extension or redevelopment.
