About 10 acres of paddock, riverside and woodland
Set in a secluded valley within Snowdonia National Park, this detached bungalow sits in about 10 acres of paddock, riverside and woodland. The main house offers a flexible, multi-generational layout with three principal bedrooms, a vaulted family room with kitchen/dining/sitting area and a mezzanine study. A detached one-bedroom holiday cottage provides separate accommodation and generates a steady income. Solar panels and a recently installed air-source heat pump reduce running costs and support year-round use.
Internally the bungalow is compact (approximately 463 sq ft) but cleverly laid out: vaulted ceilings, skylights and large windows maximise light and the multi-fuel burner gives the lounge a cosy focal point. Most bedrooms have ensuite or convenient WC facilities, and there is garage, outbuildings and a stone barn in the grounds that offer storage and development potential (subject to planning consent).
This property will suit families seeking countryside seclusion, multi-generational households or investors attracted by the holiday cottage income and potential to convert the barn. Practical negatives are clear: mobile signal is absent and broadband speeds are very slow, so working from home will be challenging without satellite or alternative connectivity. The hamlet location is remote, with local services a short drive away but not on the doorstep. The house is electrically fueled with room heaters as the main internal heating and walls have average thermal performance, which should be considered for any buyer mindful of long-term energy efficiency.
Overall, the combination of large private grounds, rentable cottage income and recent low-carbon heating and solar installations make this a rare rural opportunity. Expect to budget for connectivity improvements and, if desired, further energy-efficiency upgrades or barn conversion work to realise full potential.
