Description
A rare opportunity to acquire a traditional Welsh small holding, beautifully set within a picturesque part of Eryri. This unique holding features a characterful, partly-converted cottage and approximately 15 acres of quality pastureland and marshland.
Cottage
Beudy Tafarn Helyg is an exceptionally charming, part converted detached 2 bedroom cottage, constructed in traditional stone under a classic Welsh slate roof. Peacefully positioned in a private, scenic setting on the outskirts of Gellilydan, the property blends the rustic character of its former life as a traditional barn with the comfort and efficiency of modern improvements.
Thoughtfully converted- subject to use as holiday accommodation only- the cottage benefits from modern UPVC double glazed windows, matching UPVC rainwater goods, and a layout that offers both warmth and practicality. Its partly finished nature provides an exciting opportunity for purchasers to add their own design touches and enhance its holiday let income potential.
Accommodation Comprises:
Living Room- 3.38m x 4.04m
Kitchen/Dining Room- 2.34m x 3.31m
Bathroom- 2.18m x 2.28m
Bedroom 1- 2.01m x 3.80m
Bedroom 2- 2.54m x 3.75m
Externally, the property enjoys a neatly landscaped gravel driveway, providing ample off road parking for multiple vehicles which offers itself as a patio area also- a valuable asset for holiday guests. The driveway is enclosed by smart boundary walls and fencing that create a sense of privacy, tranquillity, and low maintenance outdoor enjoyment.
The property is approached via a hardstanding track from Tafarn Helyg, with a right of access through the adjoining yard. A public right of way follows this track, passing the cottage and continuing into neighbouring woodland. This offers immediate access to the countryside and enhances the appeal for walkers, cyclists, and outdoor enthusiasts.
The conversion has been undertaken subject to occupation as a holiday let, with the property to be unoccupied between 14th January and 1st March in each year, making it an ideal investment for those seeking a turn key holiday property with room for personalisation. The partly finished nature of the cottage allows buyers to:
-Add their own interior style
-Increase comfort and amenities
-Enhance rental appeal
-Develop a unique guest experience
With its timeless character, modern efficiency, and idyllic rural setting, Beudy Tafarn Helyg represents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented cottage with excellent potential for holiday let income
Land
A rare and versatile 15 acre holding, this property presents an exceptional opportunity for agricultural use, conservation projects, or leisure and equestrian pursuits. Set within a fully ring fenced parcel, the land offers a rich mosaic of productive pasture, mixed native woodland, and wetland habitat, creating a landscape of both practical value and natural beauty.
The boundaries are well defined with a combination of stock proof fencing and established hedgerows, providing security and shelter for animals. A reliable natural water supply runs along the southern edge of the holding, enhancing its suitability for grazing and supporting diverse wildlife.
Although classified as Grade 4 agricultural land, the property lends itself particularly well to livestock grazing or equestrian use. The gently varied terrain, natural shelter belts, and accessible layout make it ideal for those seeking a manageable yet characterful holding. With ample scope for paddock creation, field rotation, or small scale agricultural enterprises, the land offers flexibility for a range of rural ambitions.
Set against the dramatic backdrop of Eryri, the holding benefits from spectacular scenery and a sense of seclusion while remaining accessible. Its combination of diverse habitats, strong natural features, and practical grazing potential makes this a truly distinctive opportunity for buyers seeking a multi purpose rural asset in one of Wales's most celebrated landscapes.
