A Grade II listed stone cottage in the heart of Beddgelert, opposite the Afon Glaslyn, this three-bedroom home combines authentic period character with village convenience and mountain views. Two reception rooms with stone fireplaces and a wood-burning stove create a cosy ground-floor layout; an eat-in kitchen with pantry/utility and a bathroom provide practical day-to-day living. An elevated decking area at the rear offers a pleasant outdoor spot to enjoy the village and surrounding scenery.
The house is solid and characterful but not without constraints. The granite walls are likely uninsulated, ceilings are low and rooms are generally small; the property uses an oil-fired boiler and radiators. As a listed building within Snowdonia National Park, any alterations will be constrained and may require listed-building consent. Cyngor Gwynedd has also served an Article 4 Direction affecting changes between mains residence, second home and short-term let uses.
This property suits someone seeking a genuine period cottage to live in or to renovate sympathetically rather than a turnkey modern house. It will particularly appeal to buyers who value village life, views and character and who understand the planning and listed-building obligations. Practical benefits include freehold tenure, no flood risk and fast broadband, while buyers should budget for conservation-minded repairs, possible wall insulation limitations, and ongoing oil fuel costs.
