This single-fronted stone cottage sits elevated in the Machno Valley with open countryside views — an attractive, compact home for someone looking to downsize into characterful surroundings. The ground floor is open-plan with an inglenook fireplace, multi-fuel stove and exposed beams that give genuine period charm and a cosy living space.
Accommodation is compact: one sizeable bedroom, a three-piece shower room and useful built-in storage. Heating is mixed — oil-fired boiler with radiators plus Economy 7/night storage heaters — so running costs and service arrangements should be checked. The property is freehold and lies within Snowdonia National Park, offering peace, fresh air and very low local crime.
Practical considerations: the cottage is small (approximately 352 sq ft) with a very small forecourt rather than a garden, slow broadband and average mobile signal. The stone walls are original and assumed to be uninsulated, so buyers should consider insulation improvements and potential renovation to modernise thermal performance and reduce fuel use. Oil supply and storage will be a factor in ongoing costs and access.
This is a genuine character buy for someone prioritising setting, views and period detail over space and cutting-edge connectivity. A viewing is recommended to assess suitability for downsizing needs and to confirm heating and insulation arrangements.
