A traditional mid-terrace stone cottage set in the heart of Penmachno, within Snowdonia National Park. The house combines original character — exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace with multi-fuel stove — with a fitted kitchen, double glazing and a neat rear garden with outbuilding. Its compact footprint (approx. 463 sq ft) suits a single person or couple seeking a manageable village home with countryside access.
Practical positives include mains services, recent UPVC double glazing and a modern shower room. The property currently uses electric storage heating and shows an EPC current score of 50 (band E) with significant potential to improve, so energy upgrades could reduce running costs and increase value. The well-established rear garden is small but private, with slate paths and a timber outbuilding for storage.
Be clear about limitations: the cottage is older stone construction with assumed uninsulated walls, uses electricity for heating (no community fuel), and mobile phone signal in the village is reported as none. The local area is classed as remoter rural communities and the postcode area shows higher deprivation; conveniences and services are limited compared with larger towns. Holiday-let or second-home use would require planning consent.
This is a straightforward, characterful cottage for someone who values village life and outdoor access. It will especially suit buyers willing to invest modestly in energy improvements or cosmetic updates to maximise comfort and long-term value.
