Your own little slice of the welsh countryside.

Imagine waking up in the foothills of Eryri, opening the curtains and watching the mountains stretch out in front of you. No busy roads, no neighbours looking straight into your windows, just breathtaking countryside, fresh air and the freedom of having your own little piece of Wales.

A charming two-bedroom cottage, nestled in the countryside above the village of Garndolbenmaen in Gwynedd.

Dating back to around the 1840s, this is a home with history, character and a story of its own. But perhaps what makes it really special is the lifestyle it offers.

From the moment you arrive, there is a feeling that life could be just a little bit slower here.

The cottage sits within a generous plot of approximately one acre, thoughtfully separated into different sections, giving you the freedom to decide how you want to use your surroundings.

Perhaps you’ve always dreamed of having a small paddock. Maybe you’d love to keep a few chickens, grow your own vegetables, create a beautiful garden or simply have somewhere for the children, dogs or grandchildren to explore.

There are also outbuildings with plenty of potential, whether you need somewhere for hobbies, storage, a workshop or simply want to get creative with the space. The possibilities are yours to explore, subject to the necessary permissions.

And then there are the views…

The cottage is perfectly positioned within the foothills of the mountains, with exceptional, breathtaking views across the surrounding landscape and towards Eryri National Park.

Inside, the lounge is undoubtedly one of those rooms where you’ll find yourself lingering.

With dual-aspect windows, the panoramic mountain views become part of the room, changing with the seasons and the weather. Imagine sitting here with a morning coffee, watching the mist lift from the mountains, or settling down in the evening as the light disappears across the landscape.

At the heart of the room sits a beautiful inglenook fireplace with a multi-fuel stove, creating that wonderfully cosy feeling that only a traditional cottage can offer. The current owners tell us the stove is capable of warming the whole house, perfect for those chilly Welsh evenings when there’s nothing better than being tucked up somewhere warm and cosy.

The cottage offers two double bedrooms, a bathroom and a particularly useful large utility room.

And there’s more…

A wooden ladder staircase leads up into a large attic area within the roof space, offering useful additional space and plenty of potential, subject to any necessary permissions and building regulations.

While the cottage retains its traditional charm, it also benefits from some important modern improvements, including a newly fitted air source heating system and solar panels.

But ultimately, this property isn’t really about the number of bedrooms or the size of the rooms.

It’s about how you could live here.

It’s about slow mornings with a coffee and those incredible mountain views.

It’s about muddy boots by the door after a countryside walk.

It’s about growing your own vegetables, collecting eggs from your chickens or simply sitting outside with a glass of something cold while the sun goes down.

It’s about having space to breathe.

And it’s about owning somewhere that feels like an escape, while still being perfectly positioned to explore everything this beautiful part of North Wales has to offer.
