Argraig is a characterful Grade II listed stone terraced house set above Maentwrog with attractive valley views and woodland backdrop. The home retains many original features — sash windows, exposed floorboards, stone-flagged floors and a feature fireplace with a log-burning stove — and offers a useful, powered basement plus front and rear gardens with a stone outbuilding.
This property is ideal for someone seeking a rural village home within Snowdonia National Park: rooms are well proportioned, light and comfortable, and there is easy access to river walks, a historic coaching inn and local transport links. The house is offered chain free and benefits from low council tax and fast broadband in a low-crime setting.
Buyers should note key restrictions and considerations: the house is Grade II listed so alterations will be constrained and may require listed-building consent. A Local Occupancy Agreement (Section 157) applies, so new owners must have lived or worked in Gwynedd for the last three years. There is no direct vehicle access to the front; shared parking is available at the rear on a first-come, first-served basis and additional on-street parking is reached via stone steps.
Overall this is a rare, period cottage in a sought-after village location that will suit purchasers who value character, views and a rural lifestyle, and who are able to comply with the occupancy restriction and listed-building responsibilities.
