Charming small cottage with holiday-let potential and courtyard garden.
C6 planning permission for holiday lets advised by seller
A compact, characterful stone cottage in Penmachno, set within Snowdonia National Park and offered for sale by online auction. The property retains original features — inglenook fireplace, exposed beams and slate roof — and benefits from a small courtyard garden and C6 planning permission for holiday lets (seller/adviser indicated). Its freehold tenure and low running footprint suit part-time use or short-term rental operations.
Internally the cottage is small (approx. 323 sq ft) with low ceilings and tight room proportions. The open-plan ground floor with multi-fuel stove provides charm and usable living space; the first-floor bedroom and bathroom are compact. Heating is via the stove and electric panel heaters, and windows are uPVC double glazed.
Important practical points for buyers: the lot is sold at auction (10 Dec 2025), subject to a buyers’ premium, 5% deposit and quick completion (typically 28 days). The location is remote with no mobile signal and average broadband speeds; the surrounding area is quiet, very low crime and within a hamlet context. Prospective purchasers should consult the legal pack for special conditions and any additional costs before bidding.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking a character holiday-let, a low-maintenance second home, or a small investment with immediate occupancy potential under existing planning. It requires acceptance of its compact scale and rural limitations but offers authentic period appeal and a controllable renovation scope for rental use.
