Summary - Gwaun Y Gwiail, Gerlan Road, Gerlan LL57 3UB
4 bed 1 bath Cottage
Shaker-style kitchen with AGA and integrated appliances
Nestled on a very large plot on the edge of Bethesda, this four-bedroom detached cottage combines period character with thoughtful modernisation. The current owners have refitted a Shaker-style kitchen with an AGA, installed engineered oak flooring, quarry tiles and anthracite uPVC double glazing. The lounge’s inglenook fireplace and large wood-burning stove add cosy appeal, while the spacious re-fitted bathroom features a roll-top bath and a large shower cubicle.
The plot offers privacy and uninterrupted rural views, lawned gardens, a timber shed housing borehole plant, and a detached workshop/store room. Off-road private parking and external propane and oil tanks provide practical rural living. The property sits within the foothills of the Carneddau and benefits from full fibre broadband (advertised up to 1.6Gbps), making it suitable for nature lovers and remote workers.
Buyers should note several material facts: the house is pre-1900 stone construction with assumed no wall insulation; parts of the roofing use mineralised felt; heating is by a combination of propane gas central boiler and room electric heaters (no mains gas); water is from a private borehole and drainage to a private septic tank. Local indicators show slow broadband speeds in some records and the wider area has significant deprivation. There is a single main bathroom and some rooms have restricted head height on the first floor.
Overall, the cottage will suit buyers seeking a characterful, largely modernised home in a rural setting who accept ongoing maintenance typical of older stone properties and the responsibilities of private services. The layout, large plot and workshop offer clear potential for further improvement or flexible uses subject to checks and consents.
