A rare opportunity to acquire a Grade II Listed mid-terrace cottage steeped in local history and bursting with potential. Dating back to the early 19th century, the property is believed to have originally formed part of a distinctive block of four ‘cluster’ cottages, recognised for their rare industrial housing design and historic significance. Requiring full renovation throughout, this characterful home offers the perfect project for those looking to restore a historic property to its former glory while creating a truly unique home.
Situated in the heart of Bethesda, the property enjoys easy access to a range of local amenities, schools, cafés and transport links. The surrounding area is renowned for its rich industrial heritage, beautiful mountain scenery and excellent outdoor pursuits, while a public car park is conveniently located just a short walk away.
Packed with original character, the accommodation includes a spacious lounge featuring exposed ceiling beams, an impressive stone fireplace with wood-burning stove and access to the rear courtyard. The kitchen is fitted with base units, benefits from plumbing for a washing machine and provides access to both the lounge and first floor. Upstairs, the property offers a double bedroom with access via a fixed ladder to a useful loft space, a shower room comprising a shower, WC and wash hand basin, and an additional versatile room currently used as a second bedroom, although it does not qualify as a formal bedroom as access is required through it to another room. Throughout, the property offers an exciting blank canvas for sympathetic restoration while retaining its historic charm.
Externally, the property benefits from an enclosed rear courtyard/patio, offering a private outdoor space with plenty of scope for improvement. A traditional stone wall defines the property’s boundary, complementing the cottage’s period character. The property is connected to mains electricity, water and sewerage, and is heated via night storage heaters together with a wood-burning stove.
