About the Property
A rare opportunity to purchase a detached period cottage in an idyllic location with a woodland backdrop and Mawddach estuary views. Much loved for many years the property is unquestionably in now in need of renovation and modernisation to restore back to its original charm and glory.
Spacious and full of character the property retains many original features including beamed ceilings, an astonishing open fireplace and ‘A’ framed attic room. There is a large garden facing the Mawddach estuary benefitting from lovely views and bordered by woodland providing privacy and seclusion.
Although only 2 bedrooms, the cottage has been extended and provides much scope for reconfiguration to maximise the considerable floor space including the potential to add en-suites, create additional bedrooms and convert the attic (subject to regulations) which has original ‘A’ frame beams, exposed stone walling and roof light windows.
There is off road parking for several cars and a detached stone built garage.
The semi rural location is charming; easily accessible but tucked away up a quiet dead end lane off the main A496 road with countryside walks in every direction. Surrounded by birdsong and the natural beauty of one of the most enchanting locations adjacent to the Snowdonia National Park. The bustling seaside resort of Barmouth with its famous sandy beaches is just 4 miles away and the market town of Dolgellau an easy 6 mile drive. The beautiful Mawddach estuary can be seen from the house and is just minutes away.

About the area, Barmouth and Dolgellau
Barmouth is known as the town where 'the Mountains meet the Sea' but offers much more than that. It is a thriving seaside town with breathtaking views on the north west coast of Wales looking out onto Cardigan Bay on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park. There is a a bustling town centre with a range of shops and supermarkets and great places to eat and relax.
For lovers of the outdoors it offers walking, cycling, paddle-boarding, kayaking, and of course swimming in the sea from the beautiful golden sand beach. The train station in the middle of the town provides easy links up and down the coastal line or regular trains directly through to Birmingham and beyond.
The near by market town of Dolgellau is one of the most beautiful places in Snowdonia. It’s a fabulous base to explore Snowdonia. If you want mountain biking you have everything including the flat Mawddach Trail which follows the old railway bed to the lovely seaside town of Barmouth. If hurtling down hills on two wheels is your thing, then Dolgellau is the nearest town to Coed y Brenin Mountain Bike Centre and further north you have the rugged slate tracks of Antur Stiniog in Blaenau Ffestiniog. Dolgellau is home to local schools, a college and hospital in addition to its shops, craft shops, pubs, restaurants and cafes.
