This 19th-century Grade II-listed former farmhouse boasts distinctive original features, refurbished for the ultimate cosy hideaway nestled within the breathtaking North Wales countryside. A former slate town in the shadow of Cader Idris, Dolgellau boasts more listed buildings than any other town in Wales plus plenty of restaurants, cafes, shops and pubs to enjoy. If you love the outdoors, this area of Snowdonia delivers an extensive range of footpaths, signposted walks and cycle trails to suit all abilities. Right on your doorstep, take on the challenge of Cader Idris (0.5 miles) or meander along the Mawddach Trail (2 miles), walking or cycling the route to the Mawddach Estuary and Barmouth on the coast. The world-renowned Coed y Brenin Mountain Biking Centre is also within 10 miles, plus two glorious sandy beaches at Fairbourne (10 miles) and Barmouth (12 miles) to explore.
The property welcomes you into a spacious entrance porch with plenty of coat and boot storage space, leading through to a large double-aspect living/dining room complemented by exposed beams, an unusual curved wall, a quarry tiled floor, plenty of comfortable seating and a stone and slate fireplace housing a wood burner. A large wooden dining table and chairs are nestled in an intimate spot behind the main social area in the room. You’ll find another small dining table set in the well-equipped farmhouse-style kitchen, also complemented by exposed oak ceiling beams. Further through the property, you’re met with a cosy double aspect parlour room complete with more exposed beams and an ornamental fireplace, as well as a handy double sofa bed. Upstairs, you’ll find two spacious bedrooms, one super-king-size and one with a super-king-size zip-and-link bed (can be made up as a twin on request), which both benefit from plenty of storage space and more timeless features. A large family bathroom with a roll-top bath completes this cosy hideaway.
Outside, there is a spacious lawned garden with a stone picnic area and BBQ at the rear where you can admire the amazing mountain views. An additional separate slate slab patio area makes the perfect spot to dine alfresco. You also have access to a separate outbuilding housing a freezer, which also provides secure bicycle storage and an outside hose.
