Set within Snowdonia National Park, this double-fronted Victorian stone house offers three bedrooms, generous principal rooms and a large rear garden. The property retains period features such as bay windows, high ceilings and stone walls that give real character and scope to create a comfortable family home or second residence in a quiet village setting. Its elevated, central village position is convenient for the local school, shop, pub and bus stop.
The house requires substantial modernisation: kitchens, bathrooms and general upgrading are needed, and the garage also requires renovation. The walls are traditional granite/whinstone with assumed no insulation and the home uses oil/wood dual fuel heating; improving energy efficiency will be a material cost. Half the garden has been earmarked for a new-build plot (planning awaited) — that brings potential value but also limits private outdoor space.
Practical constraints include no mobile signal and slow broadband, and the plot is relatively small. For buyers who value character and a National Park location, this is a property with clear renovation potential and development interest. It suits a family seeking a character home to renovate or a buyer ready to manage improvements and modern utilities.
