Quaint two-bed cottage with gardens, small field and Carneddau views — ideal for downsizers.
Two-bedroom traditional granite terrace cottage with mountain views
Tair Stablau 2 is a traditional granite-built terrace cottage tucked into a quiet rural lane close to Bethesda, offering characterful period features and direct views of the Carneddau mountains. The house has two bedrooms, a generous lounge/dining room with French doors to the rear garden, and a useful paved front patio — an appealing package for someone wanting a low-density, country lifestyle. A small field beyond the rear garden provides extra outdoor space and open outlooks.
The interior combines original features — exposed stone, slate fireplace and roof timbers — with practical updates such as double glazing and a Worcester LPG combi boiler. The footprint is modest (about 677 sq ft) and arranged over two floors; accommodation is well laid out for a couple or downsizer seeking manageable rooms and a cosy living space.
Practical points to note: the property runs on bottled LPG (propane) and the external granite walls are assumed uninsulated, which can affect running costs. The rear garden is somewhat overgrown and will need maintenance to fully enjoy the outdoor areas. The vendor has not tested the heating, electrical circuits or services, so a purchaser should arrange their own inspections. Importantly, Gwynedd Council’s Article 4 Direction (since 1 Sept 2024) means planning permission is required to use the house as a second home or short-term holiday let.
This cottage suits buyers who value character, rural privacy and manageable outdoor space — particularly downsizers or local buyers looking to escape town life. The setting, views and traditional finishes offer a ready-to-enjoy home with scope to personalise and improve energy performance over time.
