Nestled in a tranquil elevated setting among the rolling countryside south of Colwyn Bay and near the quaint village of Betws Yn Rhos, this three-bedroom residence offers a unique opportunity for both comfortable living and investment potential. The property spans approximately 4.6 acres and is bordered by lush woodland, providing a serene backdrop and a connection to nature.
Originally built as a herdsman’s cottage in the 19th century, this home has undergone extensive renovations since its purchase by the current owners in 2020. The transformation involved a complete restoration, including stripping down to the bare walls, re-roofing, and enlarging the space. The result is an impressive fusion of historic charm and modern amenities that appeals to both families and investors alike.
The interior features exposed stone walls and beamed ceilings that showcase its heritage while offering contemporary comforts. Two principal rooms boast symmetrical layouts with back-to-back fireplaces equipped with wood-burning stoves, creating inviting focal points. The dual-aspect kitchen is designed for practicality and style, featuring high-quality units complemented by solid quartz worktops, a double Belfast sink, and a range oven. An adjoining day room or third bedroom elevates the living space with its pitched ceiling and patio doors that connect to the outdoors.
Upstairs, each of the two bedrooms retains unique character with stone walls, timber paneling, and original floorboards. One of the bedrooms includes an en-suite bathroom that mirrors the property's luxurious yet rustic aesthetic. Additional practical spaces include a dedicated utility room and contemporary bathroom facilities on both levels.
The outdoor areas enhance the property’s appeal; gardens envelop it with manicured lawns ideal for relaxation or entertaining. A spacious driveway leads to ample parking options as well as access to a generous garage/workshop along with various outbuildings for extra storage or potential conversion—subject to planning permissions.
The surrounding land offers possibilities for expansion or self-sufficiency, allowing for terraced gardening or even livestock if desired. This versatility makes it attractive not just as a home but also as an investment property with opportunities for development or enhancement.
