This three-bedroom property, rich in character and history, presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Originally thought to be a herdsman’s cottage from the 19th century, it has undergone significant transformation since its acquisition in 2020. The current owners have stripped the home down to its core, re-roofed it, and meticulously restored it to blend contemporary amenities with traditional charm.
Set on approximately 4.6 acres of land bordering woodland, this home is nestled in a serene elevated position amidst the gentle rolling countryside near Colwyn Bay and Betws yn Rhos. The expansive outdoor space offers potential for further development or landscaping projects, making it ideal for those interested in gardening or creating additional structures like a workshop or summerhouse (subject to planning permissions).
Inside, you'll find an inviting layout that showcases exposed stone walls and beamed ceilings throughout the principal rooms. Two main living areas feature back-to-back fireplaces fitted with wood-burning stoves, while the dual-aspect kitchen is equipped with high-quality units and solid quartz worktops. The addition of an open Day Room or third bedroom enhances both space and light. Unique features such as a window seat, engineered oak flooring, and bespoke handmade windows add to the property’s appeal.
Practical considerations have not been overlooked; there are two contemporary bathrooms across both floors and a dedicated utility room for convenience. In addition to the wood-burning stoves, an oil-fired central heating system ensures comfort year-round.
Upstairs, both bedrooms exude unique charm with their original floorboards and timber paneling. The en-suite bathroom reflects modern luxury while maintaining the property's historic integrity. Surrounding gardens provide a manicured lawn at the front of the house as well as ample parking space at the rear leading to a generous garage/workshop.
The location offers easy access to local amenities in Betws yn Rhos—about two miles away—including a convenience store, primary school, and traditional inn. Both Colwyn Bay and Abergele are just short drives away at six miles and six-and-a-half miles respectively, providing further access to essential services and recreational facilities such as parks, cultural venues, and transport links including mainline rail connections.
Overall, this property not only serves as a charming residence but also represents a canvas for future enhancements that could capitalize on its exceptional location amidst nature while accommodating modern living needs.
